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 them to $$\frac{4}{12}$$ and $$\frac{3}{12}$$ .

What is the relationship between $$\frac{1}{2}$$ and $$\frac{2}{4}$$ ?

$$\frac{1}{2} = \frac{2}{4}$$ because they represent the same value.

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.

How can you tell which fraction is larger: $$\frac{5}{8}$$ or $$\frac{4}{5}$$ ?

Convert both fractions to decimals or find a common denominator. $$\frac{5}{8} = 0.625$$ and $$\frac{4}{5} = 0.8$$ , so $$\frac{4}{5}$$ is larger.

What is the first step in ordering fractions?

The first step in ordering fractions is to compare their values, either by finding a common denominator or converting them to decimals.

What is the value of $$\frac{3}{4}$$ compared to $$\frac{4}{6}$$ ?

$$\frac{3}{4} > \frac{4}{6}$$ because 0.75 is greater than approximately 0.67.

How do you simplify the fraction $$\frac{4}{8}$$ ?

$$\frac{4}{8} = \frac{1}{2}$$ by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4.

What is the difference between proper and improper fractions?

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

How do 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.
