• Example: 1/2 means one part of two equal
parts.
Types of Fractions
• - Proper Fractions: Numerator < Denominator
(e.g., 3/4)
• - Improper Fractions: Numerator >
Denominator (e.g., 7/4)
• - Mixed Fractions: Whole number + fraction
(e.g., 1 3/4)
Equivalent Fractions
• Fractions that represent the same value (e.g.,
1/2 = 2/4 = 4/8)
• Multiply or divide both numerator and
denominator by the same number.
Simplifying Fractions
• Reduce fractions to their simplest form by
dividing by the GCD.
• Example: 8/12 → Divide by 4 → 2/3
Operations on Fractions
• - Addition & Subtraction: Make denominators
the same before operating.
• - Multiplication: Multiply numerators &
denominators.
• - Division: Multiply by the reciprocal.
Real-Life Applications
• - Cooking: Measuring ingredients.
• - Finance: Discounts and interest rates.
• - Construction: Measuring lengths and
proportions.
Conclusion
• Understanding fractions is essential in daily
life and advanced math.
• Practice with real-world problems to
strengthen understanding.
