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.

If $$\frac{5}{6}$$ and $$\frac{2}{3}$$ are compared, which is larger?

$$\frac{5}{6}$$ is larger than $$\frac{2}{3}$$ because when cross-multiplying, 5 * 3 = 15 and 2 * 6 = 12, and 15 > 12.

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, $$\frac{4}{8}$$ is equal to $$\frac{1}{2}$$ .

How can you simplify fractions?

To simplify a fraction, divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common factor (GCF). For example, $$\frac{4}{8}$$ can be simplified to $$\frac{1}{2}$$ by dividing both by 4.

What is the relationship between fractions and division?

Fractions can be understood as division. The fraction $$\frac{a}{b}$$ means 'a divided by b'. For example, $$\frac{3}{4}$$ means 3 divided by 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 an improper fraction?

An improper fraction is a fraction where the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator, such as $$\frac{5}{4}$$ .

What is a mixed number?

A mixed number is a whole number combined with a proper fraction, such as 1 $$\frac{1}{2}$$ .

How do you convert an improper fraction to a mixed number?

To convert an improper fraction to a mixed number, divide the numerator by the denominator. The quotient is the whole number, and the remainder becomes the new numerator.
