Fractions & Equations
Fractions 2

• Fraction: • Equivalent Fractions:

• A fraction is a part of a whole. • Some fractions may look
• A fraction consists of a different, but are really the
numerator and a denominator. same.
Fractions 3

• Numerator: • Adding/Subtracting Fractions:

• We call the top number the 1. Same denominator: It is easy
to add/subtract fractions with
Numerator, it is the number the same denominator
of parts we have. (common denominator):
• Denominator:
• We call the bottom number
the Denominator, it is the
number of parts the whole is
divided into.

2. Different denominator: • Multiplying fractions:

Unequal denominators must
fist be expanded to the • We multiply fractions by
common denominator. multiplying numerator by
numerator and denominator by
denominator.
Fractions
• Dividing fractions:
• We divide fractions by multiply
the first fraction by the
reciprocal value of the second
fraction.

• Types of fractions:
• There are 3 types of fractions:
1. Proper fraction: the numerator is
less than the denominator.
2. Improper fraction: the numerator
is greater than (or equal) to the
denominator.
3. Mixed fraction: A whole number
and proper fraction together.
Fractions 6

• Converting Mixed Fractions to

Improper Fractions:
1. Multiply the whole number
part by the fraction's
denominator.
2. Add that to the numerator
3. Then write the result on top of
the denominator.
Fractions 7

• Converting Improper
Fractions to Mixed Fractions:
1. Divide the numerator by the
denominator.
2. Write down the whole number
answer
3. Then write down any
remainder above the
denominator.

Transpositions of Equation I 12

• Equation: An equation can be compared to a pair of scales which always

remains in equilibrium.

• Alteration: We must always do the same thing on both sides, in order to

maintain equilibrium.
• Add the same amount to both sides.
• Subtract the same amount from both sides.
• Basic rules: When sides are changed, the sign also changes.
