A fraction represents a part of a whole. It consists of a numerator (top number) and a denominator (bottom number). For example, in $$\frac{1}{2}$$ , 1 is the part and 2 is the whole.

What is the value of $$\frac{1}{4}$$ compared to $$\frac{2}{8}$$ ?

$$\frac{1}{4} = \frac{2}{8}$$ , so they are equal.

Which is greater: $$\frac{1}{3}$$ or $$\frac{1}{6}$$ ?

$$\frac{1}{3}$$ is greater than $$\frac{1}{6}$$ .

What is a proper fraction?

A proper fraction is a fraction where the numerator is less than the denominator, such as $$\frac{2}{5}$$ .

What is an improper fraction?

An improper fraction is a fraction where the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator, such as $$\frac{5}{4}$$ .

What is a mixed number?

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

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

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.

What does it mean if two fractions are equivalent?

Two fractions are equivalent if they represent the same part of a whole, even if they have different numerators and denominators, such as $$\frac{1}{2}$$ and $$\frac{2}{4}$$ .

How can you add fractions with different denominators?

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

What is the importance of understanding fractions?
