Study Notes
Fractions
- Fractions show a part of something.
- The top number (numerator) shows how many parts you have.
- The bottom number (denominator) shows how many equal parts make a whole.
Types of Fractions
- Proper Fractions: The numerator is smaller than the denominator.
- Improper Fractions: The numerator is larger than or equal to the denominator.
- Mixed Fractions: A combination of a whole number and a proper fraction.
Multiplying Fractions
- Multiply the numerators: The top numbers of the fractions.
- Multiply the denominators: The bottom numbers of the fractions.
- Reduce the resultant fraction (simplify) to its lowest terms if possible.
Dividing Fractions
- Dividing one fraction by another is like multiplying the first fraction by the "flipped" version of the second fraction.
- “Flipping” means switching the numerator and denominator of the second fraction.
Mixed Numbers
-
Convert a mixed number to an improper fraction by:
- Multiplying the denominator by the whole number part.
- Adding this product to the numerator.
- Keeping the same denominator.
- This will result in an improper fraction.
-
To multiply two mixed numbers:
- Convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions.
- Multiply the two improper fractions as you would any other fraction.
-
To divide a mixed number by another mixed number:
- Convert both mixed numbers to improper fractions.
- Take the reciprocal of the second fraction.
- Multiply the first fraction with the reciprocal of the second fraction.
