    The document discusses key concepts about fractions including: - Parts 1 and 2 cover equivalent fractions, mixed numbers, proper and improper fractions, addition/subtraction and multiplication/division of fractions. - Fractions represent parts of a whole. Equivalent fractions have the same value with different numerators and denominators. Mixed numbers have a whole number and fraction part. Proper fractions have numerators smaller than denominators and improper fractions have numerators greater than or equal to denominators. - Techniques for comparing, adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing fractions are presented along with examples of changing between improper and mixed number forms.

    Chapter 3 : Fractions

    3.1 Fractions

    3.2 Equivalent fractions


    Part 1
    3.3 Mixed numbers

    3.4 Proper fractions and Improper fractions

    3.5 Addition and Subtraction of fractions

    3.6 Multiplications and Division of fractions Part 2

    3.7 Combined operations

    3.1 Fractions

    - when a unit of whole quantity is divided into equal parts , we call those parts
    fractions of unit.

    - fractions are numbers that represent one or more equally divided parts of a
    whole

    Writing fractions
    𝑎
    -fractions are written in the form of in which a is the numerator and b is
    𝑏
    denominator

    Example:

    5
    is five over eight in words
    8

    3.2 Equivalent fractions

    -fractions that represent the same value although they have different
    numerators and denominators

    Example:
    1 2 4
    = =
    2 4 8

    - To find the equivalent fraction, multiply or divide both numerator and


    denominator by a same number

    Example 1:
    5 𝑥 25
    = =
    7 21 𝑦

    Determine the values of x and y

    Determining equivalent fractions

    To determine whether two fractions are equivalent:

    a. Change both fractions into same denominator and then compare the
    numerator

    b. If numerators are same , then these two fractions are equivalent

    c. If numerators are different, then these two fractions are not equivalent

    Example 2

    Are the following fractions equivalent?


    1 5 3 10
    a. , 25 b. , 16
    5 8
    Comparing the values of two fractions

    How do we compare two fractions?

    a. If both fractions have a common denominator :

    Compare the value of numerators, the fraction with larger numerator has
    larger value

    4 2
    >
    5 5

    b. If both fractions have a common numerator:

    Compare the value of denominators. The fraction with smaller denominator


    has a larger value

    2 2
    >
    7 9
    c. If both fraction have different numerators and denominators:

    Change both of the fractions into their equivalent fractions with same
    denominator and then compare the numerator

    3 1
    >
    5 4

    Arranging fractions in order

    Step 1: Change each fractions into its respective equivalent fraction with a
    common denominator

    Step 2: Arrange the fractions in ascending or descending order according tp


    numerators
    Example 3
    1 8 5
    Arrange , 9, 6 in ascending order
    2

    Simplifying fractions into lowest term

    -divide the numerator and denominator with their highest common multiple

    Example 4
    24
    Simplify to its lowest term
    42

    3.3 Mixed numbers

    - a mixed number consist of a whole number and a fraction

    Example
    1 2
    3 ,4
    3 5

    - Can also be represented in a diagram

    ,
    3.4 Proper fractions and improper fractions

    Recognizing proper fractions and improper fractions

    Proper fractions

    -fractions in which numerator (top) is less than denominator (bottom)

    - proper fraction is less than 1

    Example
    2 6 9
    , ,
    3 7 11

    Improper fractions

    - Fractions in which numerator is equal to or greater than denominator


    - Improper fraction is equal to or greater than denominator

    8 11 25
    , ,
    8 7 11

    Example 5

    From these fractions


    3 5 11 9 4 25
    , , , , ,
    7 9 2 8 7 11
    a. proper fractions

    b. improper fractions

    Changing mixed numbers into improper fractions

    Step 1: Retain the denominator

    Step 2: Multiply the whole number with the denominator


    Step 3: Add the product of the denominator and the whole number to the
    numerator

    Example 6
    2
    Write 13 as an improper fraction?
    3

    Changing improper fractions into mixed numbers

    Step 1: Divide the numerator with the denominator

    Step 2: Retain the denominator

    Step 3: The quotient becomes the whole numbers

    Step 4: The remainder becomes the numerator

    Example 7

    Convert the following improper fractions into mixed numbers


    19 30
    a. b.
    5 6
