Question: 1 / 400

What is the term for a mathematical expression where one number is divided by another?

Mixed number

Ratio

Fraction

The correct term for a mathematical expression where one number is divided by another is indeed a fraction. A fraction is represented as two numbers separated by a slash, where the number above the slash (the numerator) indicates how many parts are being considered, and the number below the slash (the denominator) indicates into how many equal parts the whole is divided.

In contrast, a mixed number integrates a whole number with a fraction, representing a quantity that is greater than one but still includes fractional parts. A ratio compares two quantities and is not confined to the format of division, while a decimal is another way of expressing fractions, represented in a base ten format but distinct in its construction.
