Numbertown ---- Improper Fractions |
Do you remember watching
the Weird Number when 5 changed its form to 15/3?
Here’s a clip to refresh your memory:
Well after this discovery that 5 can have a fractional form, 5 thought it would be cool to hang out in its 15/3 costume in Numbertown. Unfortunately 5 was unaware of a new ordinance posted in town that all fractions should use their proper form while they are out and about in town. One day, 3/4, while standing under a lamppost, spotted 15/3 strolling through town. So 3/4 decided to report 15/3 to the sheriff, 763. "What seems to be the problem," asked the sheriff. "You'd better keep an eye out for 15/3," replied 3/4. “It's behaving improperly. We proper fractions keep our numerators smaller than our denominators," continued 3/4. |
