What is a fraction?

A fraction is a representation of a part of a whole or a part of a group. It consists of two numbers: a numerator (the number on top) representing the part being considered, and a denominator (the number on the bottom) representing the total number of equal parts in the whole or group. Fractions are used to express values that are not whole numbers and are commonly written in the form of a/b, where "a" is the numerator and "b" is the denominator.

How do you add fractions?

To add fractions, make sure that the denominators (the bottom numbers) are the same. If they are not, find a common denominator by multiplying the denominators together. Once the denominators are the same, add the numerators (the top numbers) together and keep the denominator the same. Simplify the fraction if possible by reducing it to its simplest form.

What is the least common denominator?

The least common denominator (LCD) is the smallest multiple that two or more denominators have in common, which is used when adding or subtracting fractions to make the fractions have the same denominator.

Can you add fractions with different denominators?

Yes, you can add fractions with different denominators by finding a common denominator first. To do this, you need to identify the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators and then rewrite each fraction with the common denominator before adding the numerators together. Once you have the fractions with the same denominator, you can add them as usual. Remember to simplify the resulting fraction if necessary.

How do you simplify fractions?

To simplify fractions, you need to divide the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common factor (GCF). Find the largest number that evenly divides both the numerator and denominator, and then divide both numbers by that common factor. Repeat this process if necessary until the fraction can no longer be simplified further.

What is the result of adding two fractions with the same numerator?

When you add two fractions with the same numerator, the result will have the same numerator as the two fractions being added together, while the denominator remains the same. For example, if you add 2/5 and 2/5, the result will be 4/5.

Can you add fractions with different numerators?

No, you cannot directly add fractions with different numerators unless they have a common denominator. To add fractions with different numerators, you first need to find a common denominator by finding the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators. Then, you can rewrite the fractions with the common denominator and add them together.

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 quotient is the whole number part of the mixed number. The remainder becomes the new numerator, and the original denominator remains the same to form the fraction part of the mixed number. For example, to convert 7/3 to a mixed number, divide 7 by 3 to get 2 with a remainder of 1, so the mixed number is 2 1/3.

Can you add fractions with whole numbers?

Yes, you can add fractions with whole numbers. You first convert the whole number to a fraction by placing it over 1 and then find a common denominator for the fractions. Once the fractions have the same denominator, you add the numerators together while keeping the denominator the same. Finally, simplify the fraction if possible.

How do you check if your fraction addition is correct?

To check if your fraction addition is correct, you can first add the numerators together to get a new numerator, then add the denominators together to get a new denominator. Simplify the fraction if possible by finding the greatest common divisor between the numerator and denominator and dividing both by it. Finally, compare the simplified fraction with your original sum to ensure they are equivalent.
