What are fractions?

Fractions are numbers that represent parts of a whole. They are written in the form of a numerator (the top number) over a denominator (the bottom number), separated by a horizontal line. Fractions are used to express values that are not whole numbers or mixed numbers, showing how much of something is being considered in relation to the whole.

How do you read and write fractions?

To read a fraction, say the top number (numerator) first and then the bottom number (denominator) second. For example, "3/4" is read as "three fourths." To write a fraction, place the numerator above the denominator with a horizontal line between them. Be sure to simplify or convert fractions accordingly to make them easier to read and work with in calculations.

What is the difference between a numerator and a 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 shows how many equal parts the whole is divided into. The numerator tells you how many parts you have, while the denominator tells you how many equal parts make up the whole.

How do you simplify a fraction to its lowest terms?

To simplify a fraction to its lowest terms, you need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator and divide both by this number. Once you have the GCD, divide the numerator and denominator by this number to get the simplified fraction. Keep repeating this process until there are no common factors left to simplify the fraction further. This will ensure that the fraction is in its simplest form with the smallest possible numerator and denominator.

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

To add or subtract fractions with the same denominator, simply add or subtract the numerators while keeping the denominator the same. For example, to add 1/4 and 2/4, you add the numerators together to get 3/4. Similarly, to subtract 5/6 from 7/6, you subtract the numerators to get 2/6, which can be simplified to 1/3 if needed.

How do you add and subtract fractions with different denominators?

To add or subtract fractions with different denominators, you need to first find a common denominator. To do this, identify the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators. Once you have the common denominator, rewrite each fraction with that denominator and then perform the addition or subtraction of the numerators. Finally, simplify the resulting fraction if necessary by finding the greatest common factor (GCF) of the numerator and denominator.

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. The resulting fraction is then simplified by finding the greatest common factor between the numerator and denominator and dividing both by it, if possible.

How do you divide fractions?

To divide fractions, you first need to rewrite the division as multiplication by finding the reciprocal of the divisor (the second fraction). Then, you multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. This is done by multiplying the numerators together to get the new numerator and multiplying the denominators together to get the new denominator. Finally, simplify the resulting fraction if possible by reducing it to its simplest form.

What are mixed numbers and how do you convert them into improper fractions?

Mixed numbers are numbers composed of a whole number and a fraction, such as 2 1/2. To convert a mixed number into an improper fraction, you first multiply the whole number by the denominator of the fraction, then add that to the numerator of the fraction. This sum becomes the new numerator, while the denominator remains the same. For example, to convert 2 1/2 into an improper fraction, you multiply 2 by 2 (denominator of the fraction) which equals 4, then add 4 to 1 to get 5 as the new numerator, resulting in the improper fraction 5/2.

How do you compare fractions using greater than, less than, or equal to symbols?

To compare fractions using greater than, less than, or equal to symbols, you can cross-multiply the fractions to have a common denominator, and then compare the numerators. If the numerators of the fractions are the same, then you compare the denominators. The fraction with the greater numerator is greater, while the one with the lower numerator is smaller. If the numerators are equal, the fraction with the lesser denominator is greater. Use ">" for greater than, "<" for less than, and "=" for equal to when comparing the fractions.
