What is a fraction?

A fraction is a numerical quantity representing a part of a whole, expressed with one quantity (numerator) divided by another quantity (denominator) written in the form of a/b where b is not equal to zero. It indicates a proportion or division of a whole into equal parts.

How can fractions be represented visually?

Fractions can be represented visually using a variety of methods such as pie charts, number lines, and area models. Pie charts divide a circle into sections to represent the numerator and denominator of a fraction. Number lines show the fraction's position between two whole numbers. Area models partition shapes into equal parts to represent the fraction. These visual representations help to better understand and compare different fractions.

What is the numerator of a fraction?

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

What is the denominator of a fraction?

The denominator of a fraction is the bottom number of the fraction that represents the total number of equal parts into which the whole is divided. It indicates how many parts make up the whole and serves as the divisor when calculating the value of the fraction.

How can fractions be simplified?

Fractions can be simplified by dividing both the numerator (the top number) and the denominator (the bottom number) by their greatest common factor (GCF). By simplifying fractions, you can reduce them to their simplest form, where the numerator and denominator have no common factors other than 1. This makes it easier to work with fractions and compare them accurately.

What is an equivalent fraction?

An equivalent fraction is a fraction that represents the same value as another fraction, but with different numerator and denominator. By multiplying or dividing the numerator and denominator of a fraction by the same non-zero number, we can create equivalent fractions.

What is a proper fraction?

A proper fraction is a fraction where the numerator (the number on top) is smaller than the denominator (the number on the bottom), resulting in a value less than 1. For example, in the fraction 3/4, the numerator is 3 which is smaller than the denominator 4, making it a proper fraction.

What is an improper fraction?

An improper fraction is a fraction in which the numerator (the top number) is equal to or greater than the denominator (the bottom number). These fractions represent values greater than one whole unit, making them "improper" because the numerator is not less than the denominator as it would be in a proper fraction.

How can fractions be added or subtracted?

Fractions can be added or subtracted by ensuring that the denominators are the same. To add or subtract fractions, first find a common denominator by identifying the least common multiple of the denominators. Then, adjust the fractions by multiplying each fraction by a factor that will make their denominators the same. Once the denominators are the same, simply add or subtract the numerators and keep the common denominator. Finally, simplify the resulting fraction if possible.

How can fractions be multiplied or divided?

Fractions can be multiplied by multiplying the numerators of each fraction to get the new numerator, and multiplying the denominators of each fraction to get the new denominator. To divide fractions, you multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. This means flipping the second fraction upside down (interchanging the numerator and denominator) and then proceeding with the multiplication as you would for fractions.
