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 $$\frac{3}{4}$$ , 3 is the numerator and 4 is the denominator.

How do you simplify a fraction?

To simplify a fraction, divide the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD). For example, $$\frac{8}{12} = \frac{8 \text{ ÷ } 4}{12 \text{ ÷ } 4} = \frac{2}{3}$$ .

What is a reciprocal?

A reciprocal of a number is 1 divided by that number. For example, the reciprocal of $$\frac{3}{4}$$ is $$\frac{4}{3}$$ .

How do you add fractions with different denominators?

To add fractions with different denominators, find a common denominator, convert the fractions, and then add the numerators. For example, to add $$\frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{4}$$ , the common denominator is 12: $$\frac{4}{12} + \frac{3}{12} = \frac{7}{12}$$ .

What is the formula for finding the area of a rectangle?

The area of a rectangle is found by multiplying its length by its width. For example, if a rectangle has a length of 5 feet and a width of 3 feet, its area is $$5 \times 3 = 15 \text{ square feet}$$ .

How do you convert a fraction to a decimal?

To convert a fraction to a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator. For example, $$\frac{1}{4} = 1 \text{ ÷ } 4 = 0.25$$ .

What is the difference between a proper fraction and an improper fraction?

A proper fraction has a numerator that is less than the denominator (e.g., $$\frac{2}{3}$$ ), while an improper fraction has a numerator that is greater than or equal to the denominator (e.g., $$\frac{5}{4}$$ ).

How do you find the total number of pieces when cutting a length of string?

To find the total number of pieces, divide the total length by the length of each piece. For example, if Damian has a 3-foot string and cuts it into pieces that are $$\frac{1}{4}$$ foot long, he cuts $$3 \text{ ÷ } \frac{1}{4} = 3 \times 4 = 12$$ pieces.
