What is a fraction?

A fraction is a numerical quantity that represents a part of a whole or a ratio of two numbers, with one number (numerator) written above a line and the other number (denominator) written below the line, usually separated by a forward slash. Fractions are used to represent values that are not whole numbers, such as 1/2, which represents half or 0.5.

How do you read and write fractions?

To read fractions, start by stating the numerator (the top number) followed by saying "over" and then stating the denominator (the bottom number). For example, "three over four" or "two over five." To write fractions, simply place the numerator above the denominator with a horizontal line in between them. Remember that the numerator represents the number of equal parts you have, while the denominator represents the total number of equal parts the whole is divided into.

What is a numerator?

A numerator is the top number in a fraction that represents the number of equal parts being considered. It indicates how many parts of the whole are being counted or considered in the fraction.

What is a denominator?

A denominator is the bottom number in a fraction that represents the total number of equal parts into which a whole is divided. It indicates how many equal parts are in the whole unit and is typically located below the fraction bar.

How do you identify 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 whole or the total number of parts the whole is divided into. To identify the numerator and denominator, simply look at the top number as the numerator and the bottom number as the denominator in the fraction.

How do you represent fractions using shapes or objects?

Fractions can be represented using shapes or objects by dividing the whole shape or object into equal parts and shading or coloring the appropriate number of those parts to represent the fraction. For example, a fraction like 1/2 can be represented by shading 1 out of 2 equal parts of a shape or object. This visual representation helps in understanding the concept of fractions and their values.

How do you compare fractions and determine which one is greater or less than the other?

To compare fractions, you can first ensure they have a common denominator by finding the least common multiple. Once the fractions have the same denominator, you can compare the numerators to determine which fraction is greater. If the numerators are the same, then the fractions are equal. If the numerators are different, the fraction with the larger numerator is greater. Alternatively, you can also convert both fractions to decimals and compare them directly.

How do you find equivalent fractions for a given fraction?

To find equivalent fractions for a given fraction, you can multiply or divide both the numerator and denominator by the same nonzero number. This will result in fractions that have the same overall value but different numerical values. Keep in mind that you can create an infinite number of equivalent fractions for any given fraction by applying this principle.

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

To add or subtract fractions with the same denominators, you simply add or subtract the numerators while keeping 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), resulting in 3/4. Similarly, if you have 5/7 - 2/7, you subtract the numerators (5-2 = 3) while keeping the denominator the same (7), giving you 3/7 as the result.

How do you add or subtract fractions with different denominators?

To add or subtract fractions with different denominators, you need to first find a common denominator. To do this, list and identify the multiples of both denominators, and then find the Least Common Multiple (LCM) as the common denominator. Once you have the common denominator, adjust the fractions by multiplying the numerator and denominator by the necessary factor. After doing this, you can add or subtract the fractions as usual, keeping the common denominator unchanged. Finally, simplify the resulting fraction, if possible.
