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 the process to find a common denominator?

Back

To find a common denominator, identify the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators. This will be the new denominator for the fractions.

Front

How do you add fractions with different denominators?

Back

To add fractions with different denominators, first find a common denominator, convert the fractions, and then add the numerators.

Front

What is a mixed number?

Back

A mixed number is a whole number combined with a fraction, such as 2 1/4.

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 is the new numerator.

Front

What is the sum of 1/3 and 1/6?

Back

To add 1/3 and 1/6, find a common denominator (6). Convert 1/3 to 2/6. Then, 2/6 + 1/6 = 3/6 = 1/2.

Front

How do you compare fractions?

Back

To compare fractions, convert them to have a common denominator or convert them to decimals. The larger fraction is the one with the greater value.

Front

What is the difference between a proper fraction and an improper fraction?

Back

A proper fraction has a numerator smaller than the denominator (e.g., 3/4), while an improper fraction has a numerator larger than or equal to the denominator (e.g., 5/4).
