🧮 Quick Study Guide

• 🍕 Understanding Fractions: Fractions represent parts of a whole. The top number is the numerator (parts you have), and the bottom number is the denominator (total parts). For example, in $\frac{3}{4}$, 3 is the numerator and 4 is the denominator.
• ➕ Adding Fractions: To add fractions, they must have the same denominator. If they don't, find a common denominator. Example: $\frac{1}{4} + \frac{2}{4} = \frac{3}{4}$
• ➖ Subtracting Fractions: Similar to adding, fractions need a common denominator to subtract. Example: $\frac{3}{5} - \frac{1}{5} = \frac{2}{5}$
• ✖️ Multiplying Fractions: Multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. Example: $\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{2}{3} = \frac{2}{6}$
• ➗ Dividing Fractions: To divide fractions, flip the second fraction (the divisor) and multiply. Example: $\frac{1}{2} \div \frac{3}{4} = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{4}{3} = \frac{4}{6}$
• ⚖️ Simplifying Fractions: Divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor (GCF) to simplify. Example: $\frac{4}{8}$ simplifies to $\frac{1}{2}$ (GCF is 4).
• 🔢 Mixed Numbers and Improper Fractions: A mixed number has a whole number and a fraction (e.g., $1\frac{1}{2}$). An improper fraction has a numerator larger than the denominator (e.g., $\frac{3}{2}$).
