What is a fraction?

A fraction is a numerical quantity representing a part of a whole, expressed as one number (the numerator) divided by another number (the denominator), typically written as a/b where a is the numerator and b is the denominator.

How do you add two fractions with the same denominator?

To add two fractions with the same denominator, simply add the numerators of the fractions together while keeping the denominator the same. The resulting fraction will have the same denominator as the original fractions, with the numerator being the sum of the numerators.

How do you add two fractions with different denominators?

To add two fractions with different denominators, first find a common denominator by multiplying the two denominators together. Then, rewrite each fraction using the common denominator, add the numerators together, and simplify the result if needed. Finally, if necessary, reduce the fraction to its simplest form by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor.

What is a mixed number?

A mixed number is a number that consists of a whole number and a fraction, written together. It is typically used to represent a quantity that is not a whole number but includes a whole number component, such as 3 1/2.

How do you add two mixed numbers?

To add two mixed numbers, first convert them into improper fractions. Then add the fractions together by finding a common denominator. Next, add the whole numbers together. Finally, simplify the resulting improper fraction if necessary and convert it back to a mixed number if desired.

How do you convert a mixed number to an improper fraction?

To convert a mixed number to an improper fraction, you multiply the whole number part by the denominator of the fraction, then add the numerator to the result. The sum becomes the new numerator of the fraction, while the denominator remains the same. So, for example, if you have the mixed number 2 1/3, you would do (2 * 3) + 1 = 7, so the improper fraction would be 7/3.

How do you convert an improper fraction to a mixed number?

To convert an improper fraction to a mixed number, divide the numerator by the denominator. The whole number part of the quotient becomes the whole number in the mixed number, and the remainder becomes the numerator of the fraction part. The denominator remains the same.

Can you add a fraction and a mixed number? If so, how?

Yes, you can add a fraction and a mixed number together. First, you need to convert the mixed number into a fraction by multiplying the whole number by the denominator of the fraction and then adding the numerator. Once both numbers are in fraction form, you can add them together by finding a common denominator, if necessary, and then adding the numerators while keeping the denominator the same.

How can you simplify the sum of two fractions or mixed numbers?

To simplify the sum of two fractions or mixed numbers, first find a common denominator for the fractions. Then add or subtract the numerators as needed, while keeping the common denominator. Finally, simplify the resulting fraction by finding the greatest common factor of the numerator and denominator and dividing both by it if possible. For mixed numbers, convert them to improper fractions before adding or subtracting.

Can you add more than two fractions or mixed numbers together? If so, how?

Yes, you can add more than two fractions or mixed numbers together by first finding a common denominator for all the fractions. Once you have the fractions with a common denominator, you add the numerators together and keep the denominator the same. Then simplify the resulting fraction if necessary.
