For example,&nbsp;<sup>4<\/sup>\u2044<sub>5<\/sub>&nbsp;is a fraction, and the line separating the numbers 4 and 5 is the fraction bar. Here the number above the fraction bar is the numerator, and the one below the fraction bar is the denominator.

That means the fraction for Rena is&nbsp;<sup>1<\/sup>\u2044<sub>6&nbsp;<\/sub>, where 1 is the numerator. In other words, she gets one-sixth of the pizza.&nbsp;Likewise, in&nbsp;<sup>4<\/sup>\u2044<sub>5&nbsp;<\/sub>, 4 is the numerator; in the fraction&nbsp;<sup>25<\/sup>\u2044<sub>49&nbsp;<\/sub>, 25 is the numerator and so on.
