How do you add fractions?
To add fractions, first find a common denominator. Then add the numerators while keeping the denominator the same. Finally, simplify if possible. For example: 1/4 + 1/2 = 1/4 + 2/4 = 3/4.
How do you multiply fractions?
To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and multiply the denominators together. Then simplify if possible. For example: 2/3 × 3/4 = 6/12 = 1/2.
How do you divide fractions?
To divide fractions, multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal (flipped version) of the second fraction. For example: 1/2 ÷ 3/4 = 1/2 × 4/3 = 4/6 = 2/3.
What is a mixed number?
A mixed number combines a whole number with a fraction, like 2 1/2 (two and a half). To calculate with mixed numbers, you can convert them to improper fractions first. For example, 2 1/2 = 5/2.
