Fractions and Percents Review

Fractions, Percentages, & Percent Review

​Dr. Tom Giles

What are the characteristics of a proper fraction?

Characteristics of Fractions:
When the numerator is less than the denominator, the fraction is proper, i.e., less than unity (1). When the reverse is true, e.g., 5/2, the fraction is improper, i.e., greater than unity. When a fraction is written with a whole number, e.g., 3 1/2, the expression is called a mixed number.

Fraction Basics​

The first step in multiplying fractions is to put what you're going to be multiplying in the same spot

For example: numerators should be with numerators and denominators should be with denominators

Multiplying Fractions

The second step is to simplify any numbers that you can...but be careful and mindful that you CANNOT simplify any numbers that are on the same line!
