SEMINAR ON THE TOPIC
FRACTIONS.
INTRODUCTION
 Fractions are numbers that represent a part of the whole. 
 When an object or a group of objects is divided into equal parts, then each
individual part is a fraction.
 When writing a fraction there are two main parts: the numerator and the
denominator. 
 The numerator is how many parts you have.
 The denominator is how many parts the whole was divided into.
 TYPES OF FRACTIONS:

 There are three different types of fractions:

 Proper Fractions - A proper fraction is one where the numerator is less than the
denominator.

 Improper Fractions - An improper fraction is one where the numerator is greater

than the denominator.
 Mixed Fractions - A mixed fraction had both a whole number part and a fractional
part.

EQUIVALENT FRACTION:
 Fractions with different numerators and denominators that represent the same
value or proportion of the whole.
 HOW TO COMPARE FRACTIONS:

 Cross-multiplication is used to compare fractions and find out which

fraction is greater.
 Make sure that you start with the numerator of the first fraction. To find
out which of two fractions is larger, cross-multiplyand place the two
numbers you get, in order, under the two fractions.
MULTIPLICATION OF
FRACTIONS:
 The first step when multiplying fractions is to multiply the two numerators.
The second step is to multiply the two denominators. 
DIVISION OF FRACTIONS:
 Dividing two fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the
reciprocal of the second fraction. The first step to dividing fractions is to
find the reciprocal (reverse the numerator and denominator) of the second
fraction. Next, multiply the two numerators. Then, multiply the two
denominators.
