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.

What is the greater fraction: $$\frac{2}{3}$$ or $$\frac{4}{6}$$ ?

$$\frac{2}{3}$$ is greater than $$\frac{4}{6}$$ because both fractions are equivalent, and $$\frac{2}{3}$$ is simplified.

What is the relationship between $$\frac{1}{2}$$ and $$\frac{3}{10}$$ ?

$$\frac{1}{2}$$ is greater than $$\frac{3}{10}$$ because when both fractions are converted to decimals, $$\frac{1}{2}$$ = 0.5 and $$\frac{3}{10}$$ = 0.3.

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, $$\frac{2}{4}$$ = $$\frac{1}{2}$$ .

How can you simplify a fraction?

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

What is the fraction representation of 75%?

75% can be represented as $$\frac{75}{100}$$ , which simplifies to $$\frac{3}{4}$$ .

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. For example, to add $$\frac{1}{3}$$ and $$\frac{1}{4}$$ , the common denominator is 12, so it becomes $$\frac{4}{12} + \frac{3}{12} = \frac{7}{12}$$ .

What is the fraction representation of 1 whole?

1 whole can be represented as $$\frac{1}{1}$$ or any fraction where the numerator equals the denominator, such as $$\frac{4}{4}$$ .

How do you subtract fractions?

To subtract fractions, ensure they have the same denominator. If they don't, find a common denominator, convert the fractions, and then subtract the numerators. For example, $$\frac{5}{6} - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{5}{6} - \frac{2}{6} = \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2}$$ .
