What is the definition of a fraction?

Back

A fraction represents a part of a whole, expressed as a numerator (top number) over a denominator (bottom number). For example, 1/2 means one part out of two equal parts.

Front

What does the numerator in a fraction represent?

Back

The numerator is the top number in a fraction that indicates how many parts of the whole are being considered.

Front

What does the denominator in a fraction represent?

Back

The denominator is the bottom number in a fraction that indicates the total number of equal parts the whole is divided into.

Front

How do you add fractions with the same denominator?

Back

To add fractions with the same denominator, keep the denominator the same and add the numerators. For example, 1/4 + 2/4 = (1+2)/4 = 3/4.

Front

How do you subtract fractions with the same denominator?

Back

To subtract fractions with the same denominator, keep the denominator the same and subtract the numerators. For example, 3/5 - 1/5 = (3-1)/5 = 2/5.

Front

What is an equivalent fraction?

Back

An equivalent fraction is a fraction that represents the same value as another fraction, even though the numerator and denominator may be different. For example, 1/2 is equivalent to 2/4.

Front

How do you find equivalent fractions?

Back

To find equivalent fractions, you can multiply or divide both the numerator and denominator by the same non-zero number. For example, multiplying 1/3 by 2 gives 2/6.

Front

What is a mixed number?

Back

A mixed number is a whole number combined with a fraction. For example, 2 1/2 is a mixed number, which means 2 whole parts and 1/2 of another part.

Front

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

Back

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 numerator of the fraction.

Front

What is the process to simplify a fraction?

Back

To simplify a fraction, divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor (GCF). For example, to simplify 4/8, divide both by 4 to get 1/2.
