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

What does the denominator in a fraction represent?

The denominator represents the total number of equal parts that make up a whole.

How do you find a fraction of a whole number?

To find a fraction of a whole number, multiply the whole number by the numerator and then divide by the denominator. For example, to find $$\frac{1}{3}$$ of 12, calculate $$12 \times 1 \div 3 = 4$$ .

What is a mixed number?

A mixed number is a whole number combined with a fraction, such as $$2 \frac{1}{2}$$ .

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

To convert a mixed number to an improper fraction, multiply the whole number by the denominator, add the numerator, and place that over the original denominator. For example, $$2 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{2 \times 2 + 1}{2} = \frac{5}{2}$$ .

What is the operation used to share something equally among a number of people?

The operation used is division. For example, if 10 cookies are shared among 5 people, each person gets $$10 \div 5 = 2$$ cookies.

How do you subtract fractions?

To subtract fractions, they must have the same denominator. If they do, subtract the numerators and keep the denominator the same. For example, $$\frac{3}{5} - \frac{1}{5} = \frac{2}{5}$$ .

What is the total amount of sugar needed if a recipe requires 1 $$\frac{1}{3}$$ cups of sugar for one cake and you want to make 3 cakes?

First, find the total sugar for one cake: $$1 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{4}{3}$$ cups. Then multiply by 3: $$\frac{4}{3} \times 3 = 4$$ cups.

What is the operation used to find a fraction of a total quantity?

The operation used is multiplication. For example, to find $$\frac{1}{4}$$ of 12, you multiply: $$12 \times \frac{1}{4} = 3$$ .
