Fraction Operations with Like and Unlike Denominators

Study Notes

Fractions Operations Quiz

The quiz covers four main operations: adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing fractions
The operations involve fractions with like denominators (e.g., 1/4 + 1/4) and unlike denominators (e.g., 1/4 + 1/6)
Understanding the concepts of equivalent fractions, least common multiple (LCM), and greatest common divisor (GCD) is essential for the quiz
The quiz will test the ability to perform calculations with fractions, including simplifying and converting between mixed numbers and improper fractions
The operations may involve simple fractions, mixed numbers, and/or improper fractions
The quiz will assess the ability to apply the rules of fraction operations to solve problems, including those with real-world applications

Fraction Operations Quiz

The quiz will cover four basic operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of fractions
It will include fractions with both like and unlike denominators

Adding Fractions

To add fractions with like denominators, add the numerators and keep the same denominator
To add fractions with unlike denominators, find the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators, convert both fractions to have the LCM as the denominator, then add the numerators

Subtracting Fractions

To subtract fractions with like denominators, subtract the numerators and keep the same denominator
To subtract fractions with unlike denominators, follow the same steps as adding fractions with unlike denominators, then subtract the numerators

Multiplying Fractions

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators and multiply the denominators
Simplify the resulting fraction, if possible

Dividing Fractions

To divide fractions, invert the second fraction (i.e., flip the numerator and denominator) and then multiply
Simplify the resulting fraction, if possible
