What is the difference between a fraction and a whole number?

A fraction represents a part of a whole, and is written in the form of a numerator over a denominator, indicating the division of one quantity by another. On the other hand, a whole number is a number with no fractional or decimal part, and represents a complete quantity or integer. Fractions can be used to represent values between whole numbers, while whole numbers are used to represent complete quantities without any fractional parts.

How can you convert a whole number into a fraction?

To convert a whole number into a fraction, you can simply place the whole number over 1. For example, to convert the whole number 5 into a fraction, you would write it as 5/1. This turns the whole number into a fraction form.

How are fractions represented on a number line?

Fractions are represented on a number line by dividing the distance between two whole numbers into equal parts based on the denominator of the fraction. The numerator then indicates how many of those parts to move from the starting point towards the next whole number. This positioning helps visualize the fractional value of a number on a continuous number line, making it easier to compare and understand the relationship between fractions.

What is the numerator and denominator in 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 equal parts the whole has been divided into.

How do you simplify fractions?

To simplify fractions, find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator, and divide both by this number. This will help reduce the fraction to its simplest form. Keep dividing until the numerator and denominator have no common factors other than 1. This process ensures that the fraction is simplified as much as possible.

What are improper fractions and mixed numbers?

Improper fractions are fractions where the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator, such as 5/3. Mixed numbers are a combination of a whole number and a fraction, like 1 1/2. Improper fractions can be converted to mixed numbers and vice versa depending on the need for simplification or representation in different contexts.

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

To add or subtract fractions with the same denominator, you simply add or subtract the numerators and keep the denominator the same. For example, if you have 1/4 + 2/4, you add the numerators (1 + 2 = 3) and keep the denominator the same (4). So, 1/4 + 2/4 = 3/4. Similarly, for subtraction like 5/7 - 1/7, you subtract the numerators (5 - 1 = 4) and keep the denominator the same (7). Hence, 5/7 - 1/7 = 4/7.

How do you add or subtract fractions with different denominators?

To add or subtract fractions with different denominators, you must first find a common denominator. To do this, identify the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators, then rewrite each fraction with the common denominator. Once the fractions have the same denominator, you can add or subtract the numerators and keep the common denominator. Finally, simplify the result if needed by reducing to its simplest form.

How do you multiply fractions?

To multiply fractions, you simply multiply the numerators together to get the new numerator, and multiply the denominators together to get the new denominator. This will give you the product of the two fractions. Remember to simplify the fraction by reducing it to its lowest terms if possible.

How do you divide fractions?

To divide fractions, you multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. This means flipping the second fraction upside down and then multiplying it by the first fraction. The resulting product is the answer to the division of the two fractions. Remember to simplify the fraction by reducing if possible.
