Half of a fraction? (9)
I believe the answer is:

The answer and definition can be both quantities as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for numerator that I've seen before include "Upper half of fraction" , "quantity of parts?" , "One counts" , "Upper figure in a fraction" , "Figure going over a line" .)
