Front

What is a fraction?

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

How do you add fractions with the same denominator?

Back

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

Front

What is the sum of 1/2 and 1/4?

Back

1/2 + 1/4 = 2/4 + 1/4 = 3/4.

Front

What is the sum of 3/5 and 1/5?

Back

3/5 + 1/5 = (3+1)/5 = 4/5.

Front

How do you add fractions with different denominators?

Back

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

Front

What is a common denominator?

Back

A common denominator is a shared multiple of the denominators of two or more fractions, allowing them to be added or subtracted.

Front

What is the sum of 2/3 and 1/6?

Back

2/3 + 1/6 = 4/6 + 1/6 = 5/6 after finding a common denominator of 6.

Front

What does it mean to simplify a fraction?

Back

To simplify a fraction means to reduce it to its lowest terms by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor.

Front

What is the greatest common factor (GCF)?

Back

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

Front

What is the sum of 5/8 and 1/4?

Back

5/8 + 1/4 = 5/8 + 2/8 = 7/8 after converting 1/4 to 2/8.
