WHAT IS
FRACTION ?

Fractions are for counting parts of

something.

A fraction (from Latin: fractus, "broken")

represents a part of a whole or, more
generally, any number of equal parts.
When spoken in everyday English, a
fraction describes how many parts of a
certain size there are, for example, one-
half, eight-fifths, three-quarters

the same objects in a collection. (b).

Need of fractions:

Consider the following

scenario :
Can you finish the whole
cake ??
If not, how much cake did
you eat?
1 is not the answer, neither
is 0.
This suggests that we need
a new kind of number i.e.
FRACTIONS

 Application of fractions in everyday life (1/3)
1. Fraction of seconds
The shutter speed of a camera is measured in fractions. The
setting of this is important, to capture perfect photos. Usually, a
still image is captured at a speed of 1/100th of a second. For
objects in motion, we set a faster shutter speed of about
1/1000th of a second to avoid blur images.

2. Timetable

Every time you make a timetable for a subject and divide it

into portions for ease of study, you are simply using
fractions to do it. For e.g.: if we are opting to study 5
chapters in Physics out of 10, it can simply be represented
as 5/10- and again Fractions!

3. Sports

Fractions are continuously used in sports to keep a count of the variables that
impact the result. In athletics, the distance jumped or thrown or the time taken
to complete a race is always shown in fractions. Fractions are used to analyse the
performance of a player or a team.

4. Construction
Accurate measurements of the dimensions such as height, length and
breadth are required when a certain project is under construction. For
measurement, we use units like inches and feet. Let's say you want
the carpenter to build you a table, and you specify dimensions such
as six feet, two and half a quarter inches. The carpenter uses the
fraction concept to break down that measurement and cut the wood
according to your requirements. Without the concept of fractions, it
wouldn’t be possible to carry out such measures.

5. Medicine

Another application of fractions in daily life is in the medical field. There are
a variety of uses of
fractions in the medical field. Most of the medical tests performed by
medical professionals
display their results in fractions or decimals. The presence of an
abnormality or disease can be
discovered even with a slight change in the value. Fractions are even more
important when it comes to the research and development of new drugs
and vaccines, where accurate measurements of different chemicals are
required to create a new drug.

6. Tests and Exams

Scores of tests and exams are generally expressed as

fractions, like 18/20.
.

7. Fitness
We use fractions to understand our body mass index (BMI) to determine whether
we are in a healthy range of body mass or not.

8. Following a recipe

Recipes sometimes suggest using 12 a teaspoon of sugar, 34 tablespoon of salt.

Some recipes also have quantities to serve 2. If we are making the same dish to
serve 3 people, fractions are used to adjust the ingredients accordingly.

 WHAT DID WE LEARN ?
Think of a house without a foundation. It will be built on
the sand or rubble and when the storms come, your
house will be wet and damp. The floor will be muddy, and
you will most probably get very sick, and at some point,
your house will collapse.
Fractions are like that foundation. It's a much-needed part
to keep up the walls later on. Fractions play a crucial role
in the development of mathematical understanding and
skills. As a fundamental building block, fractions offer an
essential steppingstone to understanding more advanced
topics in mathematics such as decimals, percentages, and
algebra.
Learning fractions concepts enables us to gain confidence
while working with fractions daily.
Proper nutrition is essential at every stage of life. The Nutrition
Facts label on packaged foods and beverages is a valuable tool
to help people make more informed decisions about the
nutritional content of the foods they plan to purchase and eat.
Most people exceed the recommended limits for saturated fat,
sodium, and added sugars, so the Nutrition Facts label can help
you reduce consumption.
There are other nutrients, such as dietary fiber, vitamin D,
calcium, iron and potassium, that many people do not consume
enough of. Checking the label can help you identify foods high
in these nutrients to eat more of.
So next time you’re trying to decide what to eat, check the
Nutrition Facts label and take a step toward
General a long-term healthy
