Understanding fractions
- Mixed numbers & improper fractions Divide the top by the bottom to turn 7/4 into wholes and leftovers. Multiply and add to go back the other way.
- Simplifying fractions Divide the top and the bottom by the same number, and keep going until only 1 divides them both.
Fraction operations
- Add and subtract unlike denominators Different bottoms can't add. Rename both fractions with the same denominator first, then add or subtract the tops.
- Divide fractions If a mixed number appears, change it to an improper fraction first. Then ask how many times the second amount fits into the first.
- Fraction of a number Divide by the bottom number to find one part, then multiply by the top to take that many parts.
- Multiply fractions Change mixed numbers to improper fractions first. Then multiply the tops, multiply the bottoms, and simplify.
