What do you notice about the numbers in the equivalent fractions?

How do you find equivalent fractions?

• You can multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number

• You can divide the numerator and denominator by the same number

Equivalent Fractions Example

• Equivalent Fractions have the same value, even though they may look different.

• 1/2 = 2/4 = 4/8

• The rule to remember is:

  "Change the bottom using multiply or divide, And the same to the top must be applied"

Improper Fractions and Mixed Numbers

Improper Fraction:

When the numerator (top number) is larger than the denominator (bottom number).

HOW???? Are we going to reduce this fraction??

Hint: You need to know how to do simple division. 

We use a MIXED NUMBER! 

A mixed number is a whole number and a fraction. Here we have 2 whole circles and 1/3 of a circle. 
2 1/3

7/3 is our improper fraction. Divide straight up! The 3 divides into the 7, 2 times with one left over. 

2 is our whole number and the leftover 1 is our numerator. 3 stays as the denominator. 

Multiple Choice

Change 12/5 into a mixed number

• 2 2/5

• 3 1/5

• 1 1/5

Fill in the Blanks

Change 15/4 into a mixed number

What if I need to change a mixed number to an improper fraction??

It's as easy as multiplying and adding.

Converting a mixed number to an improper fraction

• Multiply the denominator by the whole number

• Then add the numerator

• That answer is your new numerator

• Keep the same denominator

• Voila!!! 

Multiple Choice

$$Convert\ 5\ \frac{2}{3}\ to\ an\ improper\ fraction.$$  

• 17/3

• 13/3

Multiple Choice

$$Convert\ 7\ \frac{1}{2}\ to\ an\ improper\ fraction.\$$  Hint: 2 x 7 + 1 will give you the numerator.

• 15/2

• 9/2

Finding a Fraction of an Amount

How to find a fraction of an amount (for example, 2/5 of 150)

How to find a fraction of an amount

(for example 2/5 of 150)

• Divide the amount by the bottom number of the fraction 

• 150 divided by 5 = 30

• Multiply that amount by the top number

• 30 x 2 = 60

• 2/5 of 150 = 60
