WHAT IS A FRACTION?

 When an object is divided into a

number of equal parts, then each
part is called a fraction
  
A fraction is a number written in the form


where a and b are whole numbers and b is

not zero.
For example

Kinds of Fractions

 
There are several kinds of Fractions.


1. PROPER FRACTION

- A fraction in which the numerator is less

than the denominator.

Examples: , ,

2. IMPROPER FRACTION


- a fraction whose numerator is bigger

than the denominator.

3. Mixed Fraction


- combination of a whole number and a

fraction.

Examples: 3 , 2 , 4
CHANGING IMPROPER FRACTIONS
TO MIXED FRACTIONS
In changing improper fractions to
mixed fractions, follow these steps.

1. Divide the numerator by the

denominator.



a. if there is no remainder, then the improper

fraction is equal to the quotient found in step 1.
b. if there is a remainder, then the improper
fraction can be written as:
Quotient

TO MIXED FRACTIONS

3. If possible, simplify your

answer.

TO MIXED FRACTIONS
 
Example:


→ (5÷3) = 1 remainder 2 → 1
CHANGING MIX FRACTIONS TO
IMPROPER FRACTIONS
In changing mix fractions to improper
fractions, follow these steps.

1. Multiply the denominator with the

whole number then add the result with the
numerator.
CHANGING MIX FRACTIONS TO
IMPROPER FRACTIONS

2. Write the result in step 1 as the new

numerator then copy the denominator.

answer.
