Reducing Fraction

Teacher Instructions:
 HOME STUDY PROGRAMME/INTERACTIVE CLASS
 A fraction number whose numerator and denominator can be divided by a
same number then divide with this number with this we will reduce fraction
number.

For example: ⁴⁄₆

Both 4 and 6 are divisible by 2

Divide 4 by 2 (ans will be 2) and divide 6 by 2 (ans will be 3)

Therefore ⁴⁄₆ reduces to ⅔

Practice questions

15/30 reduces to___

A)2/4

B)3/9

C) 5/6

Addition and Subtraction

 While doing addition and subtraction we need to the denominator first than
solve it

 Example:

⅕+⅖=⅗

When the denominators are same, than we have the same number in denominator
and add/subtract the numerators.

Example

2/3 – 1/3 = ?

A) 1/3 B) 2/6

 Answer?

Addition and Subtraction with different denominators

 2/3 + 2/5

 1/3 – 2/7

 4/5+5/3

 3/7-2/9

 1/3 - 2/7

 If we want to make the denominator same we have to find a number which

multiply with this fraction numerator and denominator and than makes the
denominator same.

 So what will be the number?

 Multiply 7 with 1/3 and 3 with 2/7

 Than we have 7/21 – 6/21

 Solution

7/21 – 6/21 = 1/21

Addition or Subtraction then Reducing fractions

 For example after solution we have the answer 4/8

 We see there that we have the answer that can be reducible so we reduce it
and get the answer

 1/2

Improper Fractions

 An “improper” fraction is a fraction in which the numerator is greater than

the denominator like we have 9/5

 How can we change this improper fraction to improper number?

Example

⁵⁄₃

5 divided by 3 equals 1 with a remainder of 2.

So ⁵⁄₃ changes to 1⅔

Practice question

Practice

1) ⁷⁄₃ changes to

A) 2 ⅔

B) 1 ⅓

C) 2 ⅓

Teacher Instructions:

Solution :

1) ⁷⁄₃ changes to

A) 2 ⅔

B) 1 ⅓ 2

C) 2 ⅓ 3 7

-6

Here 2 is the reminder so answer is C

Multiplication of Fractions

 ¹³⁄₅ x ⁷⁄₅ = ⁹¹⁄₂₅

 To multiply fractions just multiply the top numbers, then multiply the
bottom numbers.

Example.

⅔x⅘=?

Division of fraction

⅕÷¼=?

 Flip the second number and multiply

Solution

⅕ ÷ ¼ = ⅕ x ⁴⁄₁ = ⅘
