OBJECTIVES

 Demonstrate an understanding of fractions

 Recall the types of fractions they have learned ;


and

 Explain how fractions operate when the unit


referred to is a group or a class.
FRACTIONS

A Fraction represents a part of a whole or a group. It is expressed as a


quotient of two quantities, namely, the numerator and the denominator.The
numerator (the number above the fraction bar)indicates the number of parts
taken from the whole. The denominator(the number below the fraction
bar)specifies the number of equal parts the whole is divided into.
Kinds of Fractions

Fractions are classified as proper,improper, and mixed numbers


 A proper fraction is a fraction whose numerator is less than the
denominator.

 An improper fraction is a fraction whose numerator is greater than or


equal to the denominator.

 A mixed number is a fraction which consists of a whole number and a


proper fraction.
Changing mixed fraction to improper
fraction

a. Multiply the denominator by the whole number


b. Add the product to the numerator
c. Copy the denominator

example:
Adding Fractions

To add fractions with the same denominator, add the


numerators and write the sum over the common
denominator. Then simplify or reduce the resulting
fraction to its lowest term is possible.

Example:
2/8+3/8 =5/8
 To add fractions with different denominators,write them first
as equivalent fractions by finding the least common
denominator (LCD) of the fractions. The LCD is the least
common multiple of the denominators of the fractions.

 To find the LCD of two or more fractions, list first the


multiples of the denominators of each fraction until you find
the smallest multiple that they have in common.

Example:

1/2+2/3+3/4= 23/12 or 1 11/12


Subtracting Fractions
 To subtract fractions with the same denominator,
subtract the numerators and write the difference over
the common denominator.

Example: Solve

Subtract 2/8 from 7/8

Subtract 2/15 from 14/15


Multiplying Fractions
 To multiply two fractions, follow these steps:
TEXT HERE

 Change the mixed number (if any) to an improper fraction.


 Before you multiply, cross cancel (reduce the numerator of one fraction
with the denominator of another fraction by dividing both by their GCF)
 Multiply the numerators, and then multiply the denominators
 Convert the result( if improper fraction) to a mixed number.
 Reduce your answer in its simplest or lowest term

Example: Multiply

2/3 x 3/4= 1/2


Dividing Fractions
 To divide two fractions, follow these steps

 Change the mixed number(if any) to an improper fraction


 Change the division sign to multiplication sign.
hange
 Get the reciprocal of the divisor by interchanging its
numerator and denominator
 If possible, cross cancel before multiplying.
 Multiply the numerators and then multiply the
denominators
 Convert the result(if improper fraction) to a mixed
number.
 Reduce answer in its simplest or lowest term.
