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 $$\frac{3}{12}$$ .

How do you determine if $$\frac{5}{6}$$ is greater than or less than $$\frac{1}{2}$$ ?

Using cross-multiplication: 5 x 2 = 10 and 6 x 1 = 6. Since 10 > 6, $$\frac{5}{6} > \frac{1}{2}$$ .

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

How can you simplify the fraction $$\frac{8}{10}$$ ?

To simplify $$\frac{8}{10}$$ , divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2. This gives you $$\frac{4}{5}$$ .

How do you compare $$\frac{1}{8}$$ and $$\frac{1}{2}$$ using models?

Using a pie chart, you can show that $$\frac{1}{2}$$ covers more area than $$\frac{1}{8}$$ , indicating that $$\frac{1}{8}

What is the first step in comparing fractions?

The first step is to find a common denominator or use models to visualize the fractions.

How can you tell if $$\frac{5}{6}$$ is greater than $$\frac{2}{3}$$ ?

Convert $$\frac{2}{3}$$ to a fraction with a denominator of 6: $$\frac{2}{3} = \frac{4}{6}$$ . Since $$\frac{5}{6} > \frac{4}{6}$$ , it follows that $$\frac{5}{6} > \frac{2}{3}$$ .

What is the importance of understanding fractions?
