What is a fraction?

Back

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 1/2, 1 is the part and 2 is the whole.

Front

How do you divide a whole into equal parts?

Back

To divide a whole into equal parts, you can use fractions. For example, if you have 1 whole and you want to divide it into 4 equal parts, each part is represented by the fraction 1/4.

Front

What does it mean to find a fraction of a number?

Back

Finding a fraction of a number means multiplying the number by the fraction. For example, to find 1/2 of 8, you calculate 8 * 1/2 = 4.

Front

How do you add fractions with the same denominator?

Back

To add fractions with the same denominator, you add the numerators and keep the denominator the same. For example, 1/4 + 2/4 = (1+2)/4 = 3/4.

Front

How do you subtract fractions with the same denominator?

Back

To subtract fractions with the same denominator, you subtract the numerators and keep the denominator the same. For example, 3/5 - 1/5 = (3-1)/5 = 2/5.

Front

What is the process to multiply fractions?

Back

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. For example, (1/2) * (3/4) = (1*3)/(2*4) = 3/8.

Front

How do you divide fractions?

Back

To divide fractions, multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction. For example, (1/2) ÷ (3/4) = (1/2) * (4/3) = 4/6 = 2/3.

Front

What is a mixed number?

Back

A mixed number is a whole number combined with a fraction. For example, 2 1/2 is a mixed number, where 2 is the whole number and 1/2 is the fraction.

Front

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

Back

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 over the original denominator.

Front

What is the least common multiple (LCM)?

Back

The least common multiple (LCM) of two or more numbers is the smallest number that is a multiple of each of the numbers. For example, the LCM of 4 and 5 is 20.
