Study Notes
Multiplying Fractions
- To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators (numbers on top) and multiply the denominators (numbers on the bottom)
- The resulting fraction is the product of the two original fractions
- Example: (1/2) × (3/4) = (1 × 3)/(2 × 4) = 3/8
Dividing Fractions
- To divide fractions, invert the second fraction (i.e., flip the numerator and denominator) and then multiply
- Example: (1/2) ÷ (3/4) = (1/2) × (4/3) = 4/6 = 2/3
Equivalent Fractions
- Equivalent fractions are fractions that have the same value, but different numerators and denominators
- To find an equivalent fraction, multiply or divide both the numerator and denominator by the same number
- Example: 1/2 is equivalent to 2/4, 3/6, 4/8, etc.
Subtracting Fractions
- To subtract fractions, the denominators must be the same
- If the denominators are different, find the least common multiple (LCM) and convert both fractions to have the LCM as the denominator
- Then, subtract the numerators and keep the same denominator
- Example: (3/8) - (1/4) = (3/8) - (2/8) = 1/8
Adding Fractions
- To add fractions, the denominators must be the same
- If the denominators are different, find the least common multiple (LCM) and convert both fractions to have the LCM as the denominator
- Then, add the numerators and keep the same denominator
- Example: (1/4) + (1/6) = (3/12) + (2/12) = 5/12
Multiplying Fractions
- Multiply numerators (numbers on top) and multiply denominators (numbers on the bottom) to get the product of two fractions
- The resulting fraction is the product of the two original fractions
- Example: (1/2) × (3/4) = (1 × 3)/(2 × 4) = 3/8
Dividing Fractions
- Invert the second fraction (flip the numerator and denominator) and then multiply to divide fractions
- Example: (1/2) ÷ (3/4) = (1/2) × (4/3) = 4/6 = 2/3
Equivalent Fractions
- Equivalent fractions have the same value, but different numerators and denominators
- Multiply or divide both the numerator and denominator by the same number to find an equivalent fraction
- Example: 1/2 is equivalent to 2/4, 3/6, 4/8, etc.
Subtracting Fractions
- Denominators must be the same to subtract fractions
- If denominators are different, find the least common multiple (LCM) and convert both fractions to have the LCM as the denominator
- Subtract the numerators and keep the same denominator
- Example: (3/8) - (1/4) = (3/8) - (2/8) = 1/8
Adding Fractions
- Denominators must be the same to add fractions
- If denominators are different, find the least common multiple (LCM) and convert both fractions to have the LCM as the denominator
- Add the numerators and keep the same denominator
- Example: (1/4) + (1/6) = (3/12) + (2/12) = 5/12
