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 (the denominator), typically written with a horizontal line between them. Fractions can represent values that are less than one, where the numerator indicates the part of the whole and the denominator indicates the total number of parts the whole is divided into.

How do you represent a fraction using numbers?

A fraction is represented using two numbers separated by a line, known as a fraction bar. The number on top is called the numerator and represents the quantity being considered, while the number on the bottom is called the denominator and represents the total number of equal parts the whole is divided into. For example, the fraction 3/4 consists of the numerator 3 and the denominator 4, indicating that we have 3 out of 4 equal parts of a whole.

What is the numerator of a fraction?

The numerator of a fraction is the part of the fraction that represents the number of equal parts being considered or selected. It is the top number in a fraction that is divided by the bottom number (denominator) to express a quantity relative to that whole.

What is the denominator of a fraction?

The denominator of a fraction is the bottom number in the fraction that represents the total number of equal parts into which the whole is divided. It indicates how many parts the whole has been divided into and is the divisor of the fraction that determines the size of each part.

How do you determine the value of a fraction?

To determine the value of a fraction, you divide the numerator (the top number) by the denominator (the bottom number). This will give you a decimal or a whole number that represents the value of the fraction.

How do you compare fractions to determine which is bigger?

To compare fractions and determine which is bigger, you can either find a common denominator for both fractions and then compare the numerators, or you can convert both fractions to decimals and check which decimal is larger. Another method is to cross-multiply the fractions and compare the results. Keep in mind that these methods may vary in complexity depending on the fractions being compared.

How do you add fractions with the same denominator?

To add fractions with the same denominator, you simply add the numerators and keep the denominator the same. For example, to add 1/4 + 2/4, you add 1 + 2 to get 3, and keep the denominator as 4, so the result is 3/4.

How do you subtract fractions with the same denominator?

To subtract fractions with the same denominator, simply subtract the numerators while keeping the denominator the same. For example, if you have 3/5 - 1/5, the denominator remains 5 and you subtract the numerators: 3 - 1 = 2. So, the result is 2/5.

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 will be 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 fraction by a whole number?

To divide a fraction by a whole number, you can convert the whole number into a fraction by placing it over 1, then multiply the fraction by the reciprocal of the whole number. This means flipping the fraction and then multiplying it by the new fraction in order to simplify the division.
