Back

A fraction represents a part of a whole and is written as 'a/b', where 'a' is the numerator (the number of parts) and 'b' is the denominator (the total number of equal parts).

Front

What does it mean to add fractions with different denominators?

Back

To add fractions with different denominators, you must first find a common denominator, convert the fractions, and then add the numerators.

Front

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

Back

To convert an improper fraction to a mixed number, divide the numerator by the denominator. The quotient is the whole number, and the remainder is the new numerator over the original denominator.

Front

What is a mixed number?

Back

A mixed number is a whole number combined with a proper fraction, such as 1 1/2.

Front

What is the least common multiple (LCM)?

Back

The least common multiple (LCM) of two or more numbers is the smallest number that is a multiple of each of the numbers.

Front

What is the greatest common factor (GCF)?

Back

The greatest common factor (GCF) of two or more numbers is the largest number that divides each of the numbers without leaving a remainder.

Front

How do you simplify a fraction?

Back

To simplify a fraction, divide the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common factor (GCF).

Front

What is the process for subtracting fractions?

Back

To subtract fractions, ensure they have a common denominator, then subtract the numerators and keep the denominator the same.

Front

What is a reciprocal?

Back

A reciprocal of a fraction is obtained by flipping the numerator and denominator. For example, the reciprocal of 3/4 is 4/3.

Front

How do you multiply fractions?

Back

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. For example, (a/b) * (c/d) = (a*c)/(b*d).
