What is a fraction?

A fraction represents a part of a whole, consisting of a numerator (which represents the number of equal parts being considered) over a denominator (which represents the total number of equal parts in a whole). It is used to express quantities that are not whole numbers, helping to represent proportions, ratios, and division of objects or measurements into equal parts.

How do you represent fractions on a number line?

To represent fractions on a number line, you first need to identify the scale of the number line. Then, divide the interval between two consecutive integers into the appropriate number of parts based on the denominator of the fraction. Next, locate the numerator on the scale to determine the position of the fraction on the number line. Finally, label the point with the fraction. This allows you to visually see where the fraction falls on the number line in relation to whole numbers and other fractions.

What is an equivalent fraction?

An equivalent fraction is a fraction that represents the same amount as another fraction but is expressed in different terms, such as having different numerators and denominators. This is achieved by multiplying or dividing both the numerator and denominator by the same nonzero number.

How do you add fractions with the same denominator?

To add fractions with the same denominator, you 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). Therefore, 1/4 + 2/4 = 3/4.

How do you subtract fractions with the same denominator?

To subtract fractions with the same denominator, simply subtract the numerators and keep the denominator the same. For example, if you have 3/5 - 2/5, you would subtract 2 from 3 to get 1 and keep the denominator of 5, resulting in 1/5 as the answer.

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. For example, when multiplying 1/3 by 2/5, you multiply 1 by 2 to get 2 as the new numerator, and 3 by 5 to get 15 as the new denominator, resulting in 2/15. Remember to simplify the fraction if necessary by finding a common factor between the numerator and denominator.

How do you divide fractions?

To divide fractions, you simply multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. In other words, you keep the first fraction the same and change the division sign to multiplication, then flip the second fraction (switch the numerator and denominator). Finally, you multiply the numerators together and the denominators together to get the result in its simplest form.

How do you convert a mixed number to an improper fraction?

To convert a mixed number to an improper fraction, you multiply the whole number by the denominator of the fraction, then add the numerator. This sum becomes the new numerator of the improper fraction, while the denominator remains the same. For example, to convert 2 1/4 to an improper fraction, you would multiply 2 by 4 to get 8, then add 1 to get 9 as the new numerator, with the denominator staying as 4. Therefore, 2 1/4 is equivalent to 9/4 as an improper fraction.

How do you convert an improper fraction to a mixed number?

To convert an improper fraction to a mixed number, divide the numerator by the denominator. The whole number part of the result is the whole number of the mixed number. The remainder becomes the new numerator, with the original denominator remaining the same. This creates the mixed number in the form of a whole number, a space, and a fraction.

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, then divide both the numerator and denominator by this GCD. This will give you the fraction in its simplest form where the numerator and denominator have no common factors other than 1. Ensure that the fraction is reduced as much as possible before considering it in its lowest terms.
