Yes, the word fraction just means a part of the whole. In mathematics the whole is always a whole number like 1, 2, 3 etc. A fraction means that the amount you are working with is less than a whole number. A whole 1 can be divided into many parts. It can be divided into 4 parts with each part being 1/4 or one quarter of the whole one.  A whole 3 can also be divided into quarters, so that each part is still 1/4 but you have 12 quarters in a whole 3. When you take one quarter away, then you 11 quarters left (11/4). When you divide the 4 (the denominator) into the 11 (the numerator) then you get 2 and 3 quarters left or 2 3/4.
