A fraction represents a part of a whole. It consists of a numerator (top number) and a denominator (bottom number). For example, in $$\frac{1}{2}$$ , 1 is the part and 2 is the whole.

What is a mixed number?

A mixed number is a whole number combined with a fraction. For example, $$1\frac{1}{2}$$ is a mixed number, which means 1 whole and 1/2.

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

To convert an improper fraction to a mixed number, divide the numerator by the denominator. The quotient is the whole number, and the remainder becomes the new numerator over the original denominator.

What is the process to add fractions with the same denominator?

To add fractions with the same denominator, simply add the numerators and keep the denominator the same. For example, $$\frac{1}{4} + \frac{2}{4} = \frac{3}{4}$$ .

What is the process to 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 $$\frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{4}$$ , the common denominator is 12, so it becomes $$\frac{4}{12} + \frac{3}{12} = \frac{7}{12}$$ .

What is the process to subtract fractions?

To subtract fractions, if they have the same denominator, subtract the numerators and keep the denominator the same. If they have different denominators, find a common denominator first.

How do you multiply fractions?

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. For example, $$\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{6}{12}$$ , which simplifies to $$\frac{1}{2}$$ .

How do you divide fractions?

To divide fractions, multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction. For example, $$\frac{2}{3} \div \frac{3}{4} = \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{4}{3} = \frac{8}{9}$$ .

What is a common denominator?
