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

What is the value of $$\frac{2}{4}$$ compared to $$\frac{2}{8}$$ ?

$$\frac{2}{4} > \frac{2}{8}$$ because $$\frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}$$ and $$\frac{2}{8} = \frac{1}{4}$$ .

Arrange the fractions $$\frac{1}{3}$$ , $$\frac{2}{5}$$ , and $$\frac{3}{8}$$ in ascending order.

$$\frac{1}{3}, \frac{3}{8}, \frac{2}{5}$$ .

What is a proper fraction?

A proper fraction is a fraction where the numerator is less than the denominator, e.g., $$\frac{3}{4}$$ .

What is an improper fraction?

An improper fraction is a fraction where the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator, e.g., $$\frac{5}{4}$$ .

What is a mixed number?

A mixed number is a whole number combined with a proper fraction, e.g., $$1 \frac{1}{2}$$ .

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

Divide the numerator by the denominator; the quotient is the whole number, and the remainder is the new numerator.

What is equivalent fractions?

Equivalent fractions are different fractions that represent the same value, e.g., $$\frac{1}{2} = \frac{2}{4}$$ .

How can you simplify a fraction?

To simplify a fraction, divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor (GCF).

What is the greatest common factor (GCF)?

The greatest common factor is the largest number that divides two or more numbers without leaving a remainder.
