What is a fraction?
A fraction is a numerical quantity representing a part of a whole, expressed as one number (the numerator) divided by another number (the denominator) with a horizontal line between them. Fractions are used to represent division, ratios, proportions, and parts of a whole.
How do you represent a fraction using a numerator and a denominator?
To represent a fraction, you use a numerator and a denominator separated by a line. The numerator is the top number of the fraction, representing the parts being considered, while the denominator is the bottom number, signifying the total number of parts in the whole. For example, in the fraction 3/5, the numerator is 3 and the denominator is 5.
What is the difference between a proper fraction and an improper fraction?
A proper fraction is a fraction where the numerator (top number) is less than the denominator (bottom number), resulting in a value smaller than one, such as 1/2 or 3/4. An improper fraction, on the other hand, is a fraction where the numerator is equal to or greater than the denominator, resulting in a value equal to or greater than one, such as 5/4 or 7/3.
How can you simplify a fraction to its simplest form?
To simplify a fraction to its simplest form, you need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator, and then divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCD. This process will reduce the fraction to its simplest form where the numerator and denominator have no common factors other than 1. Keep dividing until you can no longer simplify the fraction any further.
What is the lowest common denominator and how is it used in fraction operations?
The lowest common denominator (LCD) is the smallest multiple that two or more denominators have in common. In fraction operations, the LCD is used to find a common denominator when adding, subtracting, or comparing fractions. By converting fractions to have the same denominator, it makes it easier to perform operations and compare fractions accurately. This can be done by finding the LCD of the fractions and then adjusting each fraction accordingly before carrying out the desired operation.
How do you add or subtract fractions with the same denominator?
To add or subtract fractions with the same denominator, you simply add or subtract the numerators while keeping the denominator the same. For example, if you have 1/4 + 2/4, you would add the numerators 1 + 2 to get 3, and then keep the denominator of 4 to get the result 3/4. Similarly, for subtraction, like 5/8 - 3/8, you would subtract the numerators 5 - 3 to get 2, and then keep the denominator of 8 to get the result 2/8, which can be simplified to 1/4.
How do you add or subtract fractions with different denominators?
To add or subtract fractions with different denominators, first find the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators. Then, rewrite each fraction with the same denominator as the LCM. Once the fractions have the same denominator, you can add or subtract the numerators and keep the denominator the same. Simplify the resulting fraction if needed.
How do you multiply fractions?
To multiply fractions, simply multiply the numerators together to get the new numerator, and then multiply the denominators together to get the new denominator. This will give you the product of the two fractions represented as a simplified fraction.
How do you divide fractions?
To divide fractions, you invert the second fraction (take the reciprocal) and then multiply the two fractions together. This means you multiply the numerators together to get the new numerator and multiply the denominators together to get the new denominator. Simplify the resulting fraction if possible by reducing it to lowest terms.
How do you convert a fraction into a decimal?
To convert a fraction into a decimal, you simply divide the numerator (top number) by the denominator (bottom number) using long division, a calculator, or by using a fraction to decimal conversion chart. The resulting number will be the decimal equivalent of the fraction.
