Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A unit fraction is a fraction where the numerator is 1 and the denominator is a positive integer, essentially representing a division of 1 into a certain number of equal parts. However, the question's definition, stating a fraction that equals 1, does not accurately describe a unit fraction. A fraction that equals 1 would have equal numerator and denominator (e.g., 2/2, 3/3). The correct term for a fraction that equals 1 is not provided among the options, indicating a misunderstanding in the question's formulation.
