Fractions Learning Dutcomes After completing this chapter, the students will be able to : classify fractions as like, unlike, proper, improper, mixed and unit fractions. Ooo define equivalent fractions and find equivalent fractions of a given fraction. 0000000 represent fractions on a numberline. reduce a fraction to its lowest terms. compare and order two or more given fractions. add and subtract two or more fractions. find the product of two or more fractions. find the reciprocal of a fraction. divide one fraction by another fraction. Fworn up £ 8 - Write the fractions for the remaining part. One is done for you. == 2. N ®| g| 5. D o ] Mathematics-5. When a whole is divided into equal parts, a part (or parts) of the whole is called a fraction. Types of Fractions 1. Like and Unlike Fractions : The fractions that have the same denominator are called like fractions. 4 36 12 For example: —, =, =, — = 77777 The fractions that have different denominators are called unlike fractions. 2 11 1 4 3 For example: =, —, —, =, = 7 13 9 5 8 2. Unit Fraction : The fraction that has 1 as the numerator is called a unit fraction. 11 1 11 For example: —, —, —, —, — 7 9 11 3 5 3. Proper, Improper and Mixed Fractions : The fractions whose numerator is less than the denominator are called proper fractions. 5 3 16 11 For example: =, —, —, =, — 7 11 9 7 15 The fractions whose numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator are called improper fractions. 11 23 14 20 11 For example: —, —, —, —, — 9 12 11 13 11 An improper fraction can also be written as a mixed fraction, that is, a combination of a whole and a proper fraction. 3 Example : g (improper fraction) = 1; (mixed fraction) Equivalent Fractions The fractions that represent the same value are called equivalent fractions. Look at the fractions : 1 2 4 4 8 16 1 _ 2% 47 : : 7°3% 6 So, these are equivalent fractions. To find the equivalent fractions of a given fraction, we multiply/divide the numerator and denominator of the fraction by the same non-zero number. @ Mathematics-5 Examples : 1.
