LESSON 1: FRACTIONS

When a whole quality is divided into parts, these parts are called Fractions. A
fraction is written in the form , where a and b are whole number, but b cannot be zero.
The number on top, a is called numerator, and the number below, b is called
denominator.

Example:
The fraction means the unit is divided into five parts
and that two of the five parts are taken. Moreover,
also means 2 ÷ 5.

Two Categories of Fraction:

1. If the numerator is less than the denominator, it is called a proper fraction. It


means that the fraction names a number less than 1 unit.

Example:

2. If the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator, it is called an improper


fraction. It means that the fraction names a number greater than or equal to 1 unit.
Example:

Note: An improper fraction can be transformed to a mixed number.

A mixed number is the sum of a whole number and a proper fraction. Simply
divide the numerator by the denominator. If there is nonzero remainder, write the
remainder over the denominator.
Example:

Example Activities:

1. In a class of 40 students, 23 are girls.

We can name the part that are girls as .


2. Change to a mixed or whole number.

Solution: 42 ÷ 3 = 14
3. Change to a mixed or whole number.

53 1
Solution: 53 ÷ 4 = 13 with remainder 1 = 13
4 4
Note: To change a mixed number to an improper fraction, multiply the
denominator by a whole number and add the numerator. Write the sum over
the denominator to form the improper fraction.

4. Change to an improper fraction.

Solution: 4 x 3 + 2 = 14

Note: If the denominator of a fraction is one, it is equal to the numerator.

5. Change to an improper fraction.

Solution: 2 x 8 + 3 = 19
