What is a fraction?

A fraction is a way of representing a part of a whole, where the numerator (number on top) represents the part being considered, and the denominator (number on the bottom) represents the total number of parts that make up a whole. It is typically written as a/b, where a is the numerator and b is the denominator. Fractions are used in mathematics to compare quantities, perform operations like addition and subtraction, and represent values that are not whole numbers.

How is a fraction written?

A fraction is written with one number on top (numerator) and another number on the bottom (denominator), separated by a horizontal line. For example, 1/2 is a fraction where 1 is the numerator and 2 is the denominator.

What is the numerator and denominator in a fraction?

In a fraction, the numerator is the top number that represents the number of parts being considered, while the denominator is the bottom number that represents the total number of parts in the whole.

What does the fraction "one half" represent?

The fraction "one half" represents the division of a whole into two equal parts, with one of those parts being selected or considered. It can also be written as 1/2, representing one part out of a total of two equal parts.

How can you represent one half using a visual model?

You can represent one half using a visual model by dividing a shape or object equally into two equal parts, where each part represents 1/2 of the whole. For example, you can draw a circle and divide it into two equal parts, shading in one of the parts to represent one half. Alternatively, you can use a rectangle and shade in one of the two equal halves to visually show one half.

How can you simplify the fraction one half?

To simplify the fraction one half, you keep the numerator of 1 and divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 1 in this case. So, one half simplified is just 1/2.

What is the relationship between one half and other fractions?

One half is equal to many other fractions that have the same numerator and a different denominator. For example, half is equal to 2/4, 3/6, 4/8, and so on. These fractions all represent the same portion of a whole as one half, but they are written in different forms.

How can you add one half to another fraction?

To add one half to another fraction, first convert one half to a fraction with a common denominator as the other fraction. For example, if the other fraction is 3/4, convert one half to 2/4. Then add the numerators together, 2 + 3 = 5, while keeping the denominator the same, resulting in 5/4 as the sum of one half and 3/4.

How can you subtract one half from another fraction?

To subtract one half from another fraction, you need to find a common denominator for both fractions. For example, if you are subtracting 1/2 from 3/4, the common denominator would be 4. Then, convert 1/2 to have the same denominator of 4, which is 2/4. Now you can subtract: 3/4 - 2/4 = 1/4. Therefore, subtracting one half from 3/4 results in 1/4.

How can you multiply or divide one half with other fractions?

To multiply fractions, you multiply the numerators (top numbers) together to get the new numerator and the denominators (bottom numbers) together to get the new denominator. For example, multiplying 1/2 by 3/4 would give (1*3)/(2*4) = 3/8. To divide fractions, you flip the second fraction (reciprocal) and then multiply the fractions. For instance, dividing 1/2 by 3/4 would be the same as multiplying 1/2 by 4/3, resulting in (1*4)/(2*3) = 4/6, which simplifies to 2/3 in its simplest form.
