What is a fraction?

A fraction is a mathematical representation of a part of a whole, expressed as a ratio of two numbers where the top number (numerator) represents the part being considered and the bottom number (denominator) represents the whole. Fractions are used to represent portions or parts of a whole, such as ? which represents one out of three equal parts or ½ which represents half of a whole.

How do you write a fraction in its simplest form?

To write a fraction in its simplest form, you need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator, and then divide both the numerator and the denominator by the GCD. This will give you a fraction that cannot be simplified further.

What is the numerator and denominator of a fraction?

The numerator is the top number in a fraction that represents how many parts of a whole you have, while the denominator is the bottom number that represents the total number of equal parts the whole is divided into.

How do you compare fractions with different denominators?

To compare fractions with different denominators, you need to first find a common denominator for both fractions. Once you have the same denominators, you can compare the fractions based on their numerators. If the numerators are equal, the fractions are equal; if not, the fraction with the greater numerator is the larger fraction. If finding a common denominator seems challenging, you can also convert each fraction into a decimal or a percentage to compare them more easily.

How do you add fractions with the same denominator?

To add fractions with the same denominator, simply add the numerators while keeping the denominator the same. For example, if you are adding 1/6 + 2/6, you would add the numerators (1 + 2 = 3) and keep the denominator the same (6), resulting in 3/6. Remember to simplify the fraction if needed by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor.

How do you subtract fractions with the same denominator?

To subtract fractions with the same denominator, simply subtract the numerators and keep the denominator the same. For example, if you have 3/5 - 2/5, you would subtract 2 from 3 to get 1 and keep the denominator as 5, resulting in 1/5.

How do you multiply fractions?

To multiply fractions, you simply multiply the numerators together to get the new numerator and the denominators together to get the new denominator. This gives you the product fraction, which can then be simplified by finding the greatest common divisor and dividing both the numerator and denominator by it.

How do you divide fractions?

To divide fractions, you can multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. This means you keep the first fraction the same and change the operation from division to multiplication, then flip the second fraction upside-down (reciprocal) and multiply the two fractions together. Remember to simplify the final answer by reducing the fraction if possible.

How do you convert a fraction to a decimal?

To convert a fraction to a decimal, you need to divide the numerator (top number) by the denominator (bottom number). This division will give you a decimal representation of the fraction. If the division results in a repeating decimal, you can either round it or use a calculator for a more precise value.

How do you convert a decimal to a fraction?

To convert a decimal to a fraction, you can follow these steps: 1. Write down the decimal as a fraction with the decimal part as the numerator and a power of 10 as the denominator (e.g., 0.75 as 75/100). 2. Simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor to get the final fraction (e.g., 75/100 simplifies to 3/4).
