Fraction is a part of a region or set.

It is composed of a numerator, denominator and a fraction bar or

vinculum. Fractions can be classified as proper fraction, improper fraction or mixed number.

Fractions also has a different kinds the first one is proper fraction that value is less than
one In other word, its denominator the second one is Improper Fraction that the value is greater than
one or its numerator is greater than its denominator. The third one is Mixed number this is a
combination of whole and fraction.

I learned also that similar fractions and dissimilar fractions have a difference similar fractions are
fractions that have the same denominators example 1/5, 2/5 and 3/5 while the Dissimilar fractions are
fractions that have different denominators example ½, 2/3 and ¾.

I also learned that in adding similar fractions in adding the similar fractions add only the numerator and
copy the common denominator reduce the lowest term if possible example three-fifths plus one-fifth.
step one if the given fractions are similar just add the numerators and copy the common denominator
and the answer is four-fifth. step two reduce the answer to lowest term if possible by checking if there is
a greatest common factor that can divided both the numerator and denominator and if four-fifth it is
already in the lowest form that will be your final answer.

On the other hand in adding dissimilar fractions in example three-fifth plus seven/fifth since the
denominators are not the same we need to change them into similar for we cannot add directly change
fractions to similar through getting the least common denominator of five and ten in simple way of
finding LCD is think of a possible smallest number of dividend that can be divided by the given
denominators. step two divide the LCD by the given denominators and multiply by the given numerators
ten divided by five times three equals six-ten divided by ten times seven. step three since they are
similar fractions add the numerators six plus seven equals thirteen copy the denominator 10 and we
have thirteen-ten step four reduce the answer in lowest term since the answer is improper fraction
change it to mixed number by dividing numerator by the denominator therefore thirteen tens is equal to
one and three tenths.

Well in mixed fractions I learned that express first the mixed number into fraction forms then perform
the operation. Example since the denominators of the fractions is not the same we need to change them
into similar fractions for we cannot add directly change fractions to similar fractions through getting the
least common denominator of four and five by using ay method the LCD of four and five is twenty copy
the whole numbers two and five and put the common denominator. Step two divide the LCD by the
given denominators and multiply by the given numerators twenty divided four times one equals five,
twenty divided by five times two equals eight. Step three, since we’re adding mixed numbers add first
whole numbers two plus five equals even then add the numerators five plus eight equals thirteen and
copy the common denominator twenty we have seven and thirteen twentieth.

subtract fractions with the same denominator do you remember

what a fraction is affection is a number that indicates the division
of a whole number in equal parts first let’s remember which are
the parts of a fraction this is the numerator and this number is
the denominator to subtract fractions with the same denominator
we leave the common denominator and only subtract the
numerators it’s very simple to let’s see an example we need to
solve this math problem five-ninth minus two the denominator
stays the same in this case it’s the number nine now we subtract
the numerators that is five minus two which equals three which
will be the numerator in the answer the result of this math
problem will be three ninths

For you to proceed with this lesson easily, please make sure that
you have a full understanding of the following prerequisite topics:

First addition and subtraction of similar fractions (or like

fractions). The second is Finding equivalent fractions. Third
Finding the “Least Common Denominator” or LCD.

Step one Change all unlike fractions (dissimilar fractions) into

like fractions (similar fractions).

In order to do this, we need to change the denominators of the

fractions into a common denominator. Remember that similar
fractions have the same or common or like denominators.

The common denominator must be a multiple of all different

denominators. Meaning to say, the common denominator can be
divided by all the denominators without any remainder.

There are infinite numbers of common denominators for any

fraction, but we will consider only the smallest or the lowest one.
This is what do we called the least common denominator or LCD.

Finally, obtain the equivalent fractions of those fractions using

the common denominator obtained.

Step two proceeds with the same procedure as adding or

subtracting similar fractions.

We will follow the same procedure of adding or subtracting

similar fractions as follows:

Add or subtract the numerators.

Copy the denominators.
Convert the final answer to the lowest term.

Multiplying fractions is defined as the product of a fraction with a fraction or with

an integer or with the variables. To multiply two fractions, simply multiply the
numerator by numerator. Then, denominator by denominator. Express your
answer in simplest form if necessary or in mixed number if itis improper
fraction.

 The division of fractions means dividing a fraction into further equal parts  The
division of fractions means dividing a fraction into further equal parts. To divide
two fractions, simply get the reciprocal of the second fraction orthe divisor
then proceed to multiplication. Express your answer in simplest form if
necessary or in mixed number if it is improper fraction. For example, If you
have three-fourth of a pizza left and you divided each slice into 2 parts you would
get a total of six slices but this would represent six-eighths of the total pizza.
