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
