What is the first step in adding fractions?

The first step in adding fractions is to make sure the denominators of the fractions are the same. If the denominators are different, you need to find a common denominator by determining the least common multiple.

How do you subtract fractions?

To subtract fractions, make sure they have the same denominator, if not, find a common denominator. Once the denominators are the same, simply subtract the numerators. Finally, simplify the resulting fraction if possible by reducing it to its lowest terms.

How do you multiply fractions?

To multiply fractions, you simply multiply the numerators of the fractions together to get the new numerator, and then multiply the denominators together to get the new denominator. Finally, simplify the resulting fraction if possible by finding the greatest common factor between the numerator and denominator.

How do you divide fractions?

To divide fractions, you can simply multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. This means you keep the first fraction as is, and then flip the second fraction by swapping the numerator and denominator. After flipping the second fraction, you can then multiply the fractions together to get the quotient in its simplified form.

How do you simplify fractions?

To simplify a fraction, you need to find the greatest common factor (GCF) of the numerator and denominator, and then divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCF. This will reduce the fraction to its simplest form. Repeat this process until the numerator and denominator have no common factors other than 1.

What is the Least Common Denominator (LCD)?

The Least Common Denominator (LCD) is the smallest multiple that two or more denominators can divide evenly into. It is used when adding or subtracting fractions to find a common denominator that all fractions can be converted to in order to perform the operation.

How do you find the LCD of two fractions?

To find the least common denominator (LCD) of two fractions, you first identify the denominators of the fractions. Then, determine the prime factors of each denominator and the highest power of each prime factor that appears in either denominator. Finally, multiply these highest powers of the common prime factors to get the LCD.

How do you convert a mixed number into an improper fraction?

To convert a mixed number into an improper fraction, multiply the whole number by the denominator of the fraction, then add the numerator. Place this sum over the original denominator to create the improper fraction. For example, to convert the mixed number 2 1/3 into an improper fraction, you would multiply 2 by 3 (the denominator) to get 6, then add the numerator 1 to get 7. Finally, write 7/3 as the improper fraction.

How do you convert an improper fraction into a mixed number?

To convert an improper fraction into a mixed number, you divide the numerator by the denominator. The quotient becomes the whole number part of the mixed number, and the remainder becomes the new numerator while the denominator stays the same. So, for example, if you have the improper fraction 7/3, you would divide 7 by 3 to get 2 with a remainder of 1, resulting in the mixed number 2 1/3.

How do you solve fraction word problems involving operations?

To solve fraction word problems involving operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division, follow these steps: 1. Read the problem carefully to understand the situation. 2. Identify the operation needed to solve the problem (addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division). 3. Write down the fractions involved in the problem. 4. Perform the operation indicated on the fractions. 5. Simplify the resulting fraction if necessary. 6. Check your answer to ensure it makes sense in the context of the problem. These steps will help you effectively solve fraction word problems involving operations.
