Identify Sets uses round cookies and square cookies to demonstrate a fractional part of a group of things. The following illustration was made from Identify Sets:

The denominator 9 in the fraction shows the total number of cookies in the picture. The numerator 7 in the fraction tells the number of round cookies in the picture.

Therefore, since the question is "What fraction of the cookies are round?" , we will use the fraction because 7 of the 9 cookies are round cookies.

The line between the numerator and denominator is known as the fraction bar. It is also called the division bar.
