What is a fraction?

A fraction is a numerical quantity representing a part of a whole, expressed in the form of one integer divided by another, typically with a horizontal line dividing the numerator (the top number) and the denominator (the bottom number).

How do you simplify a fraction?

To simplify a fraction, you need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and the denominator, and then divide both the numerator and the denominator by this GCD. By simplifying the fraction in this way, you reduce it to its simplest form where the numerator and denominator have no common factors other than 1.

How do you add fractions with like denominators?

To add fractions with like denominators, simply add the numerators together while keeping the denominator the same. For example, if you are adding 1/4 + 3/4, you would add 1 + 3 to get 4 and keep the denominator as 4, resulting in 4/4 which simplifies to 1 whole.

How do you subtract fractions with like denominators?

To subtract fractions with like denominators, simply subtract the numerators while keeping the denominator the same. For example, to subtract 3/5 - 1/5, subtract 1 from 3 to get 2, and keep the denominator 5, resulting in 2/5. This is because when the denominators are the same, it means the fractions represent the same size pieces, making it easier to calculate the difference between them.

How do you add fractions with unlike denominators?

To add fractions with unlike denominators, you first need to find a common denominator. This involves finding the least common multiple of the denominators. Once you have a common denominator, you can rewrite each fraction so they have the same denominator, then add the numerators together. Finally, simplify the fraction if possible by reducing it to its simplest form.

How do you subtract fractions with unlike denominators?

To subtract fractions with unlike denominators, you must first find a common denominator by finding the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators. Once you have the common denominator, you can rewrite the fractions with the same denominator and then subtract the numerators. Finally, simplify the resulting fraction if needed by reducing it to its simplest form.

How do you multiply fractions?

To multiply fractions, you simply multiply the numerators (top numbers) together to get the new numerator and the denominators (bottom numbers) together to get the new denominator. This will give you the product of the two fractions in its simplest form. Remember to always simplify the fraction if possible by finding the greatest common factor between the numerator and denominator.

How do you divide fractions?

To divide fractions, you need to multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. This means flipping the second fraction upside down before multiplying. Multiply the numerators together to get the new numerator and the denominators together to get the new denominator. Simplify the resulting fraction if needed.

How do you convert a fraction to a decimal?

To convert a fraction to a decimal, you simply divide the numerator (top number) by the denominator (bottom number). The result of this division is the decimal representation of the fraction. If the division doesn't result in a whole number, you can continue dividing and noting the remainder or stop at a desired level of precision by rounding the decimal.

How do you convert a decimal to a fraction?

To convert a decimal to a fraction, you can follow these steps: 1. Determine the place value of the last digit after the decimal point (e.g., tenths, hundredths, thousandths). 2. Write the decimal as a fraction with the decimal number as the numerator and a denominator of 1 followed by the same number of zeros as the place value determined in step 1. 3. Simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor until they are in their simplest form. This final fraction is the equivalent fraction to the original decimal.
