A fraction represents a part of a whole and is written as $$\frac{a}{b}$$ , where 'a' is the numerator and 'b' 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, $$\frac{4}{8} = \frac{4 \div 4}{8 \div 4} = \frac{1}{2}$$ .

What is the sum of $$\frac{2}{10}$$ and $$\frac{3}{10}$$ in simplest form?

The sum is $$\frac{5}{10} = \frac{1}{2}$$ .

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

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 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 is the new numerator.

What is the process for adding mixed numbers?

To add mixed numbers, first add the whole numbers, then add the fractions. If the fraction sum is improper, convert it to a mixed number.

What is the result of $$3 \frac{1}{3} - 1 \frac{2}{3}$$ ?

The result is $$1 \frac{2}{3}$$ .

What is the importance of finding a common denominator when adding or subtracting fractions?

Finding a common denominator is crucial because it allows fractions to be combined accurately, ensuring that the parts being added or subtracted are equivalent.
