FRACTION FUNDAMENTALS

Study Notes

Fractions are parts of a whole in mathematics.
They are represented by a numerator and a denominator separated by a slash (/) symbol.
The numerator represents the number of selected or shaded parts of a whole while the denominator represents the total number of parts.
Fractions can be proper, improper, mixed, like, unlike, equivalent, or unit fractions.
To add or subtract fractions, the denominators must be equal.
To multiply fractions, the numerators and denominators are multiplied together.
To divide fractions, the first fraction is multiplied by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
Fractions can be represented on a number line.
Decimals can be easily used for arithmetic operations compared to fractions.
To simplify fractions, find the greatest common factor and divide both the numerator and denominator by it.
The given problem involves finding the largest fraction among the options.
The fractions are converted to decimal values for comparison.
The decimal values are 1.261, 1.074, 1.16, and 0.967.
29/23 has the largest decimal value, making it the largest fraction.
The answer is option (a) 29/23.
To simplify a fraction, find the greatest common factor (GCF) of the numerator and denominator.
The factors of 15 are 1, 3, 5, and 15.
The factors of 65 are 1, 5, 13, and 65.
The GCF of 15 and 65 is 5.
Dividing both numerator and denominator by 5 gives the simplest form of the fraction.
