Fractions with same numerator are called like fractions.
Step 1: Recall the definition.
Like fractions are fractions that have the same denominator.
Step 2: Understand the words.
The numerator is the top number. The denominator is the bottom number in a fraction.
Step 3: Check the statement.
The statement says: “Fractions with the same numerator are like fractions.” We need to test this.
Step 4: Example with same numerator (top number the same).
Look at these fractions:
They have the same numerator (2), but different denominators (3 and 5). These are not like fractions because the denominators are different.
Step 5: Correct example of like fractions (bottom number the same).
Look at these fractions:
All have the same denominator (4). These are like fractions.
Step 6: Conclusion.
Like fractions have the same denominator, not the same numerator. Therefore, the given statement is false.
