Parts of a fraction
What are fractions?
What is this called: 1/2
A half :D
What is a mixed number?
Mixed numbers are made up of a whole number and a separate fraction. Improper fractions do not show whole numbers separately and the numerator is bigger than the denominator.
Can you add this fraction? 1/2 + 1/2
If you can what is the answer?
Yes, the answer is 1 whole
When you multuply 2/4 and 1/2 you get 1/4 but how?
It is 1/4 because 1x2 is 2. Then 4x2 is 8. 2/8 can be simplified into 1/4
The Denominator
What are these an example of 2/7, 4/7, and 6/7

What is an improper fraction?
A fraction in which the numerator is greater than the denominator, such as 5/4.
Can you subtract this fraction? 1/2 -
1/2
If you can what is the answer?
Yes you can, but there is one problem the answer is a decimal, so convert it to a fraction
Decimal: 0.3
Fraction: (3/10 answer)
When you multiply 4/7 by 6/8 you get 3/7 how is that possible?
It is possible because 4x6 is 24. 7x8 is 56. 24 divided by 8 is 3 and 56 divided by 8 is 7.
The Numerator
What is a Mixed Number
A fraction comprising a natural number and a fraction is called a mixed fraction.
Can you make 6/5 a mixed number if you can how?
Yes, you can make a 6/5 a mixed number by dividing the improper fraction's numerator by its denominator. The quotient is to be kept separate. Hence the quotient of 6, when divided by 5, is 1 The remainder of 6, when divided by 5 is 1 So, the mixed fraction can be written as: Quotient ( Remainder/Divisor) 1 1/5
How do you add a fraction there are 3 steps (step 3 is optional)
Is it possible to get the answer 1 1/3 when you divide 8/10 by 3/5?
Yes, you just have to follow this process: When dividing you have to change the second number to the reciprocal. So 8x5 is 40 and 10x3 is 30. 30 divided by 10 is 3 and 40 divided by 10 is 4. (Which makes 4/3)
Can 0.6 be written as a fraction?
Yes, the six is in the tenths place, so we place 6 over 10 to create the equivalent fraction, 6/10. If needed, simplify the fraction.
Define Unlike Fractions
Unlike fractions are fractions that have different denominators.
How to convert an improper fraction to a mixed number?
To convert an improper fraction to a mixed fraction, divide the numerator by the denominator, write down the quotient as the whole number and the remainder as the numerator on top of the same denominator.
How do you subtract fractions with like denominators?
To subtract fractions with like denominators, subtract the numerators, and write the difference over the denominator.
Is it possible for you to get 18/35 when you multiply 30/50 by 60/70?
Yes, because 30x60 is 1800. 50x70 is 3500. 3500 divided by 100 is 35 and 1800 divided by 100 is 18. Which is 18/35
When adding two fractions can you add the denomonator?
No :/
What is this called: 6/1
A whole as a fraction :)
How do you actually convert a mixed number to an improper fraction?
To turn a mixed number into an improper fraction, multiply the whole number with the denominator of the proper fraction. Add the numerator of the proper fraction to this product to obtain the numerator of the improper fraction.
How do you subtract, unlike fractions?
To do this, you need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of the two denominators. To subtract fractions with unlike denominators, rename the fractions with a common denominator. Then subtract and simplify.
