Study Notes
Understanding and Operating with Fractions
- Fractions consist of a numerator (top number) and a denominator (bottom number), representing the parts' quantity and size, respectively
- Example of 5/8 fraction explained using pizza analogy
- Math operations with fractions (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) require following specific rules
- Definitions of terms: fraction, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and reciprocal are provided
- Addition of fractions requires finding a common denominator, illustrated with the example of adding 1/2 and 5/8
- Subtraction of fractions also needs a common denominator, demonstrated with the example of 2 - 3/8
- Multiplication of fractions involves multiplying numerators and denominators directly, shown using the example of 1/2 × 1/4
- Division of fractions involves multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second, illustrated with the example of 7/8 ÷ 1/2
