a person whose chest is much larger than their abdomen (from a term for a fraction where the numerator is greater than the denominator)
Only after her plastic surgery did she realize that she had become an improper fraction.

An optimum volume of an extraction solvent is the calculated volume of an extraction solvent needed to extract all the desired solute from a given mass of a solid material based on the liquid to solid ratio experimentally established.
A Fractional Volume of an extraction solvent is a fraction of the optimum volume of the extraction solvent, into which the optimum volume of an extraction solvent is equally divided.
or
A Fractional Volume of an extraction solvent is an equal fraction of the optimum volume of the extraction solvent, into which the optimum volume of an extraction solvent is divided.

If 100ml hot water is required to extract all the tea from a tea bag, then 100ml hot water is the optimum volume of the extraction solvent. Ten 10ml volumes of hot water are fractional volumes of an extraction solvent i.e. hot water. Each fractional volume of an extraction solvent can then be used to extract the tea from the tea bag in a single extraction cycle. To use all the ten fractional volumes of the extraction solvent it would need to carry out the extraction in ten extraction cycles. Should one opt to use 20ml of hot water to extract the tea from the tea bag, then the optimum volume of the extraction solvent, 100ml ought to be divided into five fractional volumes of an extraction solvent (hot water), each of which equals 20ml. The fractional volume of the extraction solvent of 20ml would then be used in each extraction cycle.

The almost impossible ability to separate facts from fiction due to the tiny amount of probable truth we as humans today... have obtained.
The older I get, the more I see SCIENCE-FRACTION as a sad condition. Until we can find more absolute science... it’s often just guessing.

Any number that can be written by dividing one integer by another-in plain English, any number that can be written as a fraction or ratio. (An easy way to remember this is to think of rational’s root word “ratio.”)
