A fraction represents a part of a whole and is written as $$\frac{a}{b}$$ , where 'a' is the numerator (the number of parts) and 'b' is the denominator (the total number of equal parts).

What is the relationship between fractions and decimals?

Fractions can be converted to decimals by dividing the numerator by the denominator. For example, $$\frac{1}{2} = 0.5$$ .

How do you simplify a fraction?

To simplify a fraction, divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD). For example, $$\frac{4}{8} = \frac{4 \div 4}{8 \div 4} = \frac{1}{2}$$ .

What does it mean to have a fraction greater than 1?

A fraction greater than 1 means that the numerator is larger than the denominator, indicating that it represents more than one whole. For example, $$\frac{5}{4}$$ is greater than 1.

How do you add fractions with different denominators?

To add fractions with different denominators, find a common denominator, convert the fractions, and then add the numerators. For example, to add $$\frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{2}$$ , convert $$\frac{1}{2}$$ to $$\frac{2}{4}$$ , then add: $$\frac{1}{4} + \frac{2}{4} = \frac{3}{4}$$ .

What is the process to find the total amount when given the amount per unit?

To find the total amount, multiply the amount per unit by the number of units. For example, if each pizza crust requires 3 1/3 ounces of dough and there are 6 crusts, the total dough needed is $$3\frac{1}{3} \times 6 = 20$$ ounces.

How do you find the average when sharing something equally?

To find the average when sharing something equally, divide the total amount by the number of people sharing. For example, if 5 miles are run by 4 people, each person runs $$\frac{5}{4} = 1\frac{1}{4}$$ miles.

What is a unit fraction?

A unit fraction is a fraction where the numerator is 1 and the denominator is a positive integer, such as $$\frac{1}{3}$$ .

How can you express a fraction as a percentage?

To express a fraction as a percentage, divide the numerator by the denominator and multiply by 100. For example, $$\frac{1}{4} = 0.25 = 25\%$$ .
