120. We have seen (Art. 14), that a denominate number is one in which the kind of unit is denominated or expressed. For the same reason, a denominate fraction is one which ex- presses the kind of unit that has been divided. Such unit is called the unit of the fraction. Thus, |^ of a j& is a denomi- nate fraction. It expresses that one £ is the unit which has been divided. Quest. — 120. What is a denominate number? What is ad^Mminate firaction 1 What is the nnit called ?

The two fractiaas, f of a £ and f of a shilling, are of different denominations, the unit of the first being one pound, and that of the second, one shilling. Fractions, therefore, are of the same denomination when Hiey express parts of the same unit, and of different denominations when they express parts of different units.
