A worked example
A pond contains 6 ducks and 3 swans. What fraction are ducks?
The question asks what fraction of the birds are ducks. There are 6 of one kind and 3 of another kind.
Find the total (denominator) → \to → 6 + \; + \; + 3 = \; = \; = 9
The part asked about (numerator) is 6 . The fraction is 6 9 \frac{6}{9} 9 6 .
The answer is 6 9 \frac{6}{9} 9 6 .
