What is a fraction?

A fraction is a mathematical representation of a part of a whole, expressed as one number (numerator) divided by another number (denominator), such as 1/2, representing half of a whole unit. Fractions are used to represent quantities that are not whole numbers, allowing for precise measurements and comparisons of values.

How do you represent a fraction using numbers?

A fraction is represented using two numbers separated by a line called a fraction bar. The number on the top is called the numerator, and the number on the bottom is called the denominator. For example, in the fraction 3/4, 3 is the numerator and 4 is the denominator. This represents the concept of having 3 parts out of a total of 4 parts.

What is the numerator of a fraction?

The numerator of a fraction is the top number that represents the part of the whole that is being considered or counted.

What is the denominator of a fraction?

The denominator of a fraction is the number located below the fraction line, which represents the total number of equal parts in the whole or the total number of parts that make up one whole.

How do you compare fractions with different denominators?

When comparing fractions with different denominators, you need to first make the denominators the same by finding a common denominator. Once you have the same denominators, you can compare the fractions by looking at the numerators. The fraction with the greater numerator is larger. If the numerators are the same, then you can look at the denominators - the fraction with the smaller denominator is larger. Remember to always simplify the fractions after comparing to get the final answer.

How do you add fractions with the same denominator?

To add fractions with the same denominator, you simply add the numerators together and keep the same denominator. For example, if you have 1/4 + 2/4, you would add the numerators (1 + 2) to get 3, and keep the denominator of 4, resulting in 3/4.

How do you subtract fractions with the same denominator?

When subtracting fractions with the same denominator, you simply subtract the numerators and keep the same denominator. For example, if you have 3/5 - 2/5, you subtract 3 - 2 to get 1, and keep the denominator 5 to get 1/5 as the result.

How do you multiply fractions?

To multiply fractions, you simply multiply the numerators together to get a new numerator, and multiply the denominators together to get a new denominator. This results in a new fraction that is the product of the two original fractions. Simplify the resulting fraction if needed by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common factor.

How do you divide fractions?

To divide fractions, you simply multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. In other words, you keep the first fraction the same and change the division sign to multiplication, then flip the second fraction (invert it) and multiply. This will give you the result of dividing the two fractions. Remember to simplify the fraction if needed by reducing it to its simplest form.

How do you convert a fraction to a decimal?

To convert a fraction to a decimal, divide the numerator (top number) by the denominator (bottom number). This will give you a decimal representation of the fraction. Alternatively, you can also use a calculator to perform the division to get the decimal equivalent of the fraction.
