What are fractions?

Fractions are numbers that represent a part of a whole. They consist of a numerator (the top number) that represents how many parts of the whole are being considered and a denominator (the bottom number) that shows the total number of equal parts the whole is divided into. Fractions are used to indicate division or comparison of quantities, and they can represent values that are not whole numbers.

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, while the denominator is the bottom number that represents the total number of parts the whole is divided into. The numerator is located above the fraction bar, and the denominator is located below the bar. By understanding these components, you can easily identify and work with fractions.

How do you read and write fractions in words?

To read a fraction in words, you say the numerator first, then the word "over", followed by the denominator. For example, 3/4 is read as "three fourths". To write a fraction in words, you write the numerator in words, then the word for the denominator without a hyphen in between. For example, 5/8 is written as "five eighths".

How do you compare fractions using symbols such as >, <, and =?

To compare fractions using symbols such as >, <, and =, 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. If the numerator of the first fraction multiplied by the denominator of the second fraction is greater than the numerator of the second fraction multiplied by the denominator of the first fraction, then the first fraction is greater. If the products are equal, then the two fractions are equal. Otherwise, the second fraction is greater.

How do you add fractions with like denominators?

To add fractions with like denominators, simply add the numerators together 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 the result is 3/4.

How do you subtract fractions with like denominators?

To subtract fractions with like denominators, simply subtract the numerators and keep the common denominator the same. For example, if you have 3/5 - 1/5, the denominators are the same (5), so you can subtract the numerators directly: 3 - 1 = 2. Therefore, the answer is 2/5.

How do you add and subtract mixed numbers?

To add or subtract mixed numbers, first convert them to improper fractions. Then, perform the addition or subtraction operation on the fractions. After getting the result, convert the fraction back to a mixed number if needed. Keep in mind to simplify the result if possible to get the final answer.

How do you multiply a fraction by a whole number?

To multiply a fraction by a whole number, you simply multiply the numerator of the fraction by the whole number while keeping the denominator the same. The result is a new fraction where the numerator is the product of the whole number and the original numerator, and the denominator remains unchanged.

How do you divide a whole number by a fraction?

To divide a whole number by a fraction, you can convert the whole number into a fraction by putting it over 1, then multiply by the reciprocal of the fraction. For example, if you want to divide 6 by 1/3, you convert 6 to 6/1, then multiply by the reciprocal of 1/3, which is 3/1. This gives you (6/1) * (3/1) = 18/1 = 18. So, 6 divided by 1/3 equals 18.

How do you solve word problems involving fractions?

To solve word problems involving fractions, first read the problem carefully to understand the situation. Identify the type of operation needed (addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division) and determine the relationship between the fractions provided. Convert any mixed numbers to improper fractions if needed. Perform the necessary operations and simplify the fractions if possible. Always remember to double-check your work to ensure the answer makes sense in the context of the word problem.
