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

How do you find a common denominator for $$\frac{1}{3}$$ and $$\frac{1}{4}$$ ?

The least common denominator (LCD) of $$\frac{1}{3}$$ and $$\frac{1}{4}$$ is 12. You can convert the fractions to $$\frac{4}{12}$$ and $$\frac{3}{12}$$ .

What is the relationship between $$\frac{4}{12}$$ and $$\frac{3}{9}$$ ?

$$\frac{4}{12}$$ is equal to $$\frac{3}{9}$$ because both simplify to $$\frac{1}{3}$$ .

How do you determine if $$\frac{5}{8}$$ is greater than, less than, or equal to $$\frac{5}{8}$$ ?

$$\frac{5}{8}$$ is equal to $$\frac{5}{8}$$ because they are the same fraction.

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. For example, $$\frac{1}{2}$$ and $$\frac{2}{4}$$ are equivalent.

How can you tell if $$\frac{2}{5}$$ is less than $$\frac{3}{5}$$ ?

Since both fractions have the same denominator, you can compare the numerators. Since 2 is less than 3, $$\frac{2}{5}$$ is less than $$\frac{3}{5}$$ .

What is the first step in comparing fractions with different denominators?

The first step is to find a common denominator for the fractions you want to compare.

What is the result of comparing $$\frac{5}{6}$$ and $$\frac{2}{3}$$ ?

$$\frac{5}{6}$$ is greater than $$\frac{2}{3}$$ because when you convert $$\frac{2}{3}$$ to sixths, it becomes $$\frac{4}{6}$$ .

How do you convert $$\frac{3}{9}$$ to an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 3?

To convert $$\frac{3}{9}$$ to a fraction with a denominator of 3, you simplify it to $$\frac{1}{3}$$ .

What is the importance of understanding fractions in real life?

Understanding fractions is important for everyday tasks like cooking, measuring, and budgeting, as they help us divide things into parts.

How can you visually represent $$\frac{1}{2}$$ ?

You can represent $$\frac{1}{2}$$ with a pie chart divided into 2 equal parts, shading one part to show that it is half.

What is the difference between proper and improper fractions?

A proper fraction has a numerator smaller than its denominator (e.g., $$\frac{3}{4}$$ ), while an improper fraction has a numerator larger than or equal to its denominator (e.g., $$\frac{5}{4}$$ ).
