What is a fraction?

A fraction is a mathematical term representing a part of a whole, where a numerator (top number) represents the part being considered and a denominator (bottom number) represents the total number of parts that make up the whole. Fractions are used to express values between whole numbers and are an essential concept in arithmetic and mathematics.

How do you read and write fractions?

To read a fraction, you say the number above the line (numerator) first and then say the number below the line (denominator) as an ordinal number. For example, 3/4 is read as "three fourths." To write a fraction, put the numerator above the line and the denominator below the line, separated by a horizontal line. Remember that fractions represent parts of a whole or a ratio between two numbers.

How do you compare fractions?

To compare fractions, you need to find a common denominator for the fractions you are comparing. Once you have a common denominator, you can compare the numerators of the fractions to determine which fraction is larger. If the denominators are already the same, you can simply compare the numerators directly. Remember to simplify the fractions before comparing them to ensure accurate comparison.

What is a decimal?

A decimal is a way of representing a number that is not a whole number, typically used to show parts or fractions of a whole number. It is based on the powers of 10, where digits to the right of a decimal point represent fractions of tenths, hundredths, thousandths, and so on, while digits to the left of the decimal point represent whole numbers or multiples of 10.

How do you read and write decimals?

To read and write decimals, remember that the digits to the left of the decimal point represent whole numbers, while the digits to the right of the decimal point represent parts of a whole. When writing a decimal, place the decimal point to separate the whole number part from the fractional part. For example, in the decimal 3.75, "3" represents the whole number, the dot is the decimal point, and "75" is the fraction. When reading a decimal aloud, say the whole number part, the word "and," then the fractional part. So, 3.75 is read as "three and seventy-five hundredths.

How do you convert a fraction to a decimal?

To convert a fraction to a decimal, you simply divide the numerator (top number) by the denominator (bottom number). The result of this division will give you the decimal equivalent of the fraction.

How do you convert a decimal to a fraction?

To convert a decimal to a fraction, you can follow the steps by first setting up a fraction with the decimal as the numerator and 1 as the denominator. Then, multiply both the numerator and denominator by a power of 10 so that the decimal is moved to a whole number. Finally, simplify the fraction by finding the greatest common divisor between the numerator and denominator, and reduce the fraction to its simplest form.

How do you compare decimals?

To compare two decimals, you start by looking at the digits in the same place value position from left to right. If the digits are the same, you move on to the next place value. The decimal number with the larger digit at the first differing place value is greater than the other. If all digits are the same, then the decimals are equal. Remember, zeros to the right of the last digit in a decimal do not change its value.

How do you add and subtract fractions with the same denominator?

To add or subtract fractions with the same denominator, simply keep the denominator the same and add or subtract the numerators. For example, if you have 1/5 + 2/5, you keep the denominator as 5 and add 1 + 2 to get 3/5. Similarly, for 7/8 - 3/8, you keep the denominator as 8 and subtract 7 - 3 to get 4/8, which can be simplified to 1/2.

How do you multiply and divide fractions?

To multiply fractions, simply multiply the numerators together to get the new numerator, and multiply the denominators together to get the new denominator. To divide fractions, you multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction (i.e., switch the numerator and denominator of the second fraction) and then follow the same steps as multiplication. Remember to always simplify the fraction if possible by finding any common factors between the numerator and denominator.
