Fractions: What are fractions?

Fractions are an tipe of division, there is one number on the top, and one on the bottom. they are divided by an line. here is an example of how one looks: 7/2

Fractons: Numerators and denominators

Numerators and denominators

Numerators: Denominators:
Numerators are the top numbers Denominators are the bottom numbers
in an fraction. in 3/4, 3 is the in an fraction, in 12/45, 45 is the Denominator
Numerator.

Fractions: Types of fractions.

Fractions can look different, like fractions with Alike denominators, for example 3/6 and 5/6 have alike denominators, the 6 on both fractions are the same number.

Alike denominator fractions:

Fractions can look different, like fractions with Unlike denominators, for example 1/4 and 4/5 have unlike denominators, 4, and 5, arn't the same number.

​Unlike denominator fractions:

The most common way to get an mixed number is by adding fractions, for example: 1/2 + 1/2 = 1, and to get an mixed number......: 1/2 + 1 = 1 1/2. or it could be an improper fraction..: 3/2 + 1/2 = 2

How to get an mixed number

An mixed number has an whole number, then an fraction after, for example: 1 2/4. the 1 calculates how meany wholes ore in the Mixed number. 2/4 is the fraction after, so 1 2/4 is an mixed number.

​Mixed numbers

Fractions: Mixed numbers

Fractions: Improper fractions

​What is an improper fraction?

An improper fraction has the Denominator less then the Numerator, for example: 2/1 is an improper fraction. and if you divide it, it works as: 2 divided by 1 = 2. you can convert an Mixed number into an improper fraction, 1 1/2 = 3/2. when converting, you need to add the halves in this case, 1/2 + 1/2 + 1/2 = 1 1/2, 3/2. the three came from how meany times you need to add the thing, to get to the answer.
