Study Notes
Introduction
- Fractions represent parts of whole numbers
- Example: dividing a pizza into four equal slices gives each person one quarter (1/4) of the pizza
- Fractions can be represented on a number line, where the section from 0 to 1 is divided into the total number of pieces
Equivalent Fractions
- Fractions that represent the same amount are called equivalent fractions
- Example: 1/2, 2/4, 3/6, 4/8 are all equivalent to a half because the denominator (bottom number) is always twice the numerator (top number)
- A fraction is in its lowest form when no number other than 1 can divide into both the numerator and denominator
- To find the lowest form, divide both numerator and denominator by common factors until no further division is possible
- To find equivalent fractions, multiply both numerator and denominator by the same number
Different Types of Fractions
- Fractions with a numerator equal to a denominator are called equivalent fractions
- Example: 6/6 = 3/3 = 8/8 = 1
- This is because dividing a whole into any number of equal pieces and then taking all of them means you have the whole again
