What is a fraction?
A fraction is a numerical quantity that represents a part of a whole, expressed as one number (numerator) divided by another number (denominator) and is commonly written as a/b, where a is the numerator and b is the denominator. Fractions are used to represent parts of a whole, ratios, or proportions in mathematics.
How are fractions represented?
Fractions are represented as a ratio of two numbers, where one number (numerator) is divided by another number (denominator), separated by a horizontal line. For example, in the fraction 1/2, 1 is the numerator and 2 is the denominator, indicating that the whole has been divided into two equal parts and one part is being considered.
What is the numerator and denominator of a fraction?
In a fraction, the numerator is the top number that represents the part of the whole being considered, while the denominator is the bottom number that represents the total number of parts into which the whole is divided.
How can fractions be added or subtracted?
Fractions can be added or subtracted by first ensuring that they have a common denominator. Once the fractions have a common denominator, you can add or subtract the numerators while keeping the denominator the same. Finally, simplify the resulting fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor to get the final answer.
How can fractions be multiplied or divided?
Fractions can be multiplied by multiplying the numerators together to get the new numerator and multiplying the denominators together to get the new denominator. For division, you can multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction by switching the numerator and denominator of the second fraction and then proceed with multiplication as usual.
What is a proper fraction?
A proper fraction is a fraction where the numerator (top number) is less than the denominator (bottom number), resulting in a value that is smaller than 1. Proper fractions represent parts of a whole and can be simplified or converted into decimals or percentages for easier comparison.
What is an improper fraction?
An improper fraction is a fraction where the numerator (top number) is equal to or greater than the denominator (bottom number). This type of fraction represents a value greater than 1.
How do you convert a mixed number to an improper fraction?
To convert a mixed number to an improper fraction, 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 2 1/3 to an improper fraction: 2 x 3 (denominator) + 1 = 7 (numerator), so the improper fraction is 7/3.
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 quotient is the whole number part of the mixed number. The remainder becomes the numerator of the fraction part, and the original denominator remains the denominator of the fraction part. Write the whole number quotient, followed by the fraction part in the form of a fraction using the remainder and original denominator.
How can fractions be simplified?
Fractions can be simplified by finding the greatest common factor (GCF) of the numerator and the denominator, and then dividing both by this GCF. This process reduces the fraction to its simplest form where the numerator and denominator no longer share any common factors other than 1. Remember, a fraction is simplified when it cannot be reduced further.
