The document discusses fractions including:
1) Fractions are represented as a/b where a is the numerator and b is the denominator.
2) Equivalent fractions have the same value even if the numerator and denominator are different, which can be obtained through multiplication or division.
3) Fractions of quantities can be calculated by taking the fraction of the total value. Mixed numbers represent numbers greater than 1 as a whole number and fraction.
