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 numerator and 2 is the denominator.

What is the result of comparing $$\frac{1}{2}$$ and $$\frac{3}{8}$$ ?

$$\frac{1}{2} > \frac{3}{8}$$ . This means 1/2 is greater than 3/8.

What is the result of comparing $$\frac{5}{9}$$ and $$\frac{2}{6}$$ ?

$$\frac{5}{9} > \frac{2}{6}$$ . This means 5/9 is greater than 2/6.

Who read more: Mr. Hatch who read $$\frac{2}{3}$$ of a book or Mrs. Khera who read $$\frac{1}{4}$$ ?

Mr. Hatch read more. $$\frac{2}{3} > \frac{1}{4}$$ .

What is a common denominator?

A common denominator is a shared multiple of the denominators of two or more fractions. It allows for easy comparison or addition of fractions.

What does it mean if two fractions are equal?

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

What is the simplest form of a fraction?

The simplest form of a fraction is when the numerator and denominator have no common factors other than 1. For example, $$\frac{4}{8}$$ simplifies to $$\frac{1}{2}$$ .

How can you convert a fraction to a decimal?

To convert a fraction to a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator. For example, $$\frac{1}{2} = 0.5$$ .

What is the relationship between improper fractions and mixed numbers?

An improper fraction has a numerator larger than its denominator (e.g., $$\frac{5}{4}$$ ), while a mixed number combines a whole number and a proper fraction (e.g., 1 $$\frac{1}{4}$$ ).

What is a proper fraction?

A proper fraction is a fraction where the numerator is less than the denominator, such as $$\frac{3}{4}$$ .

What is the significance of the numerator in a fraction?

The numerator indicates how many parts of the whole are being considered. For example, in $$\frac{3}{5}$$ , 3 is the numerator, meaning 3 parts out of 5 total parts.
