Fractions: Add/Subtract/Multiply/Divide

A Mixed Number is a number that consists of a whole number and a proper fraction, such as 2 1/2.

A Proper Fraction is a fraction where the numerator is less than the denominator, such as 3/4.

An Improper Fraction is a fraction where the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator, such as 5/4.

Like Fractions are fractions that have the same denominator, such as 1/4 and 3/4.

Unlike Fractions are fractions that have different denominators, such as 1/3 and 1/4.

To add fractions with like denominators, keep the denominator the same and add the numerators. For example, 1/4 + 2/4 = 3/4.

To subtract fractions with like denominators, keep the denominator the same and subtract the numerators. For example, 3/4 - 1/4 = 2/4.

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. For example, 1/2 * 3/4 = 3/8.

To divide fractions, multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction. For example, 1/2 ÷ 3/4 = 1/2 * 4/3 = 2/3.

Equivalent Fractions are fractions that represent the same value, such as 1/2 and 2/4.
