What is a fraction?

A fraction is a mathematical representation of a number that is expressed as the ratio of two integers, where the number on top (numerator) represents the part of the whole and the number on the bottom (denominator) represents the total number of parts. Fractions are used to describe quantities that are not whole numbers, and they can be used to compare, add, subtract, multiply, and divide values.

How does a fraction represent a part of a whole?

A fraction represents a part of a whole by comparing the number of parts being considered to the total number of equal parts that make up the whole. The fraction is written as a numerator (the number of parts being considered) over a denominator (the total number of equal parts in the whole). For example, in the fraction 1/4, 1 represents the number of parts being considered (1 out of a total of 4 parts). This allows us to understand how much of the whole is being represented by the fraction.

What is the numerator of a fraction?

The numerator of a fraction is the number above the fraction line that represents the part of the whole being considered or the number of parts being considered.

What is the denominator of a fraction?

The denominator of a fraction is the bottom number that represents the total number of equal parts into which a whole has been divided. It tells you the number of equal parts in which the whole is divided, and it is located below the fraction line.

How do you simplify a fraction?

To simplify a fraction, you need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator, and then divide both the numerator and denominator by this common factor to reduce the fraction to its simplest form. This involves dividing both numbers until they cannot be divided any further and the fraction is in a form where the numerator and denominator have no common factors other than 1.

What is a mixed number?

A mixed number is a combination of a whole number and a fraction, represented as a whole number followed by a fraction. It is used to represent a quantity that includes both a whole part and a fractional part, such as 3 1/2 or 5 2/3.

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 answer becomes the whole number of the mixed number. The remainder becomes the numerator of the fractional part, and the original denominator stays the same as the denominator of the fractional part. Write the mixed number with the whole number followed by the fraction.

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

To convert a mixed number to an improper fraction, you first multiply the whole number by the denominator of the fraction, then add the numerator to get the new numerator. Keep the denominator the same. For example, to convert 3 1/2 to an improper fraction, you would do (3 * 2) + 1 = 7. So, 3 1/2 is equal to 7/2 as an improper fraction.

What is equivalent fractions?

Equivalent fractions are fractions that have the same value, but may look different because the numerator and denominator have been multiplied or divided by the same number. These fractions represent the same part of a whole or set, but are written in different forms.

How do you add and subtract fractions?

To add or subtract fractions, first ensure they have the same denominators. If they don't, find a common denominator by multiplying the denominators together. Then, adjust the numerators accordingly. For addition, add the numerators together and keep the denominator the same. For subtraction, subtract the numerators and keep the denominator the same. Simplify the resulting fraction if needed by finding the greatest common factor between the numerator and denominator.
