Key Concept

  • A Fraction is a part of whole. The ‘whole’ here could be an object or the group of objects. But all the parts of the whole must be equal.

  • Numerator and Denominator

  • Fractions

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  • Proper Fractions :If the numerator is less than the denominator then it is called proper fraction. If we represent a proper fraction on the number line than it will always lie between 0 and 1. Examples

Fractions

  • Improper fraction : When the numerator is greater than the denominator then it is called Improper fraction. Ex.: 5/4
  • Mixed fraction:The fraction made by the combination of whole and a part is called Mixed fraction. Ex. : 2(1/2)
  • Convert Mixed fraction into Improper fraction

  • Equivalent Fractions: Equivalent fractions are those fractions which represent the same part of a whole.

  • Finding equivalent fractions
    • By Multiplying the same number in Numerator and Denominator
    • By Dividing the same number in Numerator and Denominator
  • Like Fractions:Fractions which have same denominators are known as Like fractions.

                        Example : Fractions

  • Unlike fractions: Fractions which have different denominators are known as unlike fractions.

Example :Fractions

  • Comparing like fractions :Fraction with the small denominator is greater than the other.

               

  • Addition and Subtraction of Fractions
