What is the numerator?

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

What is the denominator?

The denominator is the bottom number in a fraction that represents the total number of equal parts in a whole. It indicates the number of parts into which the whole is divided and is found beneath the fraction bar.

How do you find the common denominator?

To find the common denominator between two or more fractions, you must identify the lowest common multiple of the denominators. This involves listing the multiples of each denominator and finding the smallest number that appears in all lists. Once you have the common denominator, you can use it to rewrite the fractions with the same denominator so they can be added, subtracted, or compared easily.

What is an equivalent fraction?

An equivalent fraction is a fraction that represents the same value as another fraction, but with different numerators and denominators. To find equivalent fractions, you can multiply or divide both the numerator and denominator by the same number.

How do you add fractions with the same denominator?

To add fractions with the same denominator, simply add the numerators together while keeping the denominator the same. For example, if you want to add 2/5 and 3/5, you would add 2 + 3 to get 5, and the denominator remains 5. Therefore, the sum of 2/5 and 3/5 is 5/5, which simplifies to 1 whole.

How do you add fractions with different denominators?

To add fractions with different denominators, you first need to find a common denominator by identifying the least common multiple of the denominators. Once you have a common denominator, you can convert each fraction to an equivalent fraction with that common denominator. Then, add the numerators together while keeping the common denominator the same. Finally, simplify the resulting fraction by reducing it to its simplest form if needed.

How do you subtract fractions with the same denominator?

To subtract fractions with the same denominator, simply subtract the numerators while keeping the denominator the same. For example, if you have 3/5 - 2/5, you subtract the numerators (3-2=1) and keep the denominator the same (5). Therefore, the answer would be 1/5.

How do you subtract fractions with different denominators?

To subtract fractions with different denominators, first find a common denominator by multiplying the two denominators together. Then, rewrite each fraction with the common denominator and subtract the numerators. Simplify the result by reducing the fraction to its simplest form, if necessary.

What is a mixed number?

A mixed number is a number that consists of a whole number and a proper fraction, written together. It represents a sum of a whole number and a fraction, such as 2 1/4.

How do you simplify a fraction?

To simplify a fraction, you need to divide the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor (GCF). By reducing the fraction to its simplest form, you ensure that it is expressed in the smallest possible terms. This is done to make it easier to work with and compare fractions.
