Fractions

Image result for mixed number and improper fractions

We have begun to learn how to compare fractions with the same numerators and denominators, how to move between fractions and mixed numbers, and how to find equivalent fractions. 
  • Create one post in which you choose and explain a fractional topic we have learned. 
  • Include either a link or an image that helps illustrate/explain your point within your post. Feel free to do both. 
  • Check the blog regularly and comment and respond to at least three (3) classmates. 
  • Remember that this is an educational tool and follow up is necessary after class time in order to solidify our knowledge.

  2. a denominator is the bottpom part of a fraction. It describes the total number of equal parts. https://youtu.be/lxjmR4pYIVU?t=8

    3. An improper fraction has a numerator that is larger than the denominator. You can divide an improper fraction to create a mixed number. The value of the improper fraction and the mixed number will be the same.

  6. An Improper Fraction has a top number larger than (or equal to) the bottom number.

    7/4
    (seven-fourths or seven-quarters)


    More Examples
    3/2 7/3 16/15 15/15 100/5
    See how the top number is bigger than (or equal to) the bottom number?
    That makes it an Improper Fraction, (but there is nothing wrong about Improper Fractions).

    3. 10/3
      , the
      10 can be divided by 3
      to take out the number of times
      3 occurs in 10.

      10/3= 9+1/3= 3.3.3+1/3= 3(3)+1/3= 3 1/3

  7. A mixed number is a combination of a whole number and a fraction. EXAMPLE: 2 1/4 , 3 3/4. Some improper fractions will not divide evenly to create a whole number. in that case, the result is a mixed number.

    1. 15/4 divided by 4 is 3 with a remainder of 3. The number 3 becomes the whole number, the remainder becomes the numerator, and he denominator stays the same.
      This results in 3 3/4

    3. hey ken, this is the example 4/12 < 6/12 3/8 < 7/10 need more let me know.

  13. when we are comparing fractions and the denominators are the same in every fraction, the fraction with the bigger numerator will be the bigger fraction. If we are comparing fractions with the same numerators. The fraction with the bigger denominator will be the smaller fraction.

  15. Convert from fraction to decimals.
    A fraction is a number which value is less than 1. it is written a number with one number above another and a bar between them.
    The numerator tells how may parts of the whole.

    The denominator is the number below the bar; tells you the total
    number of equal of parts.
    to convert a fraction number from decimals:
    The numerator will become the dividend and the denominator into divisor.
    Add decimal point and zero without change the value of the dividend.
    The decimal point of the quotient is always above of the decimal point of the dividend.
