FRACTIONS A FRACTIONS IS A NUMBER

REPRESENTING PART OF A WHOLE. THE

WHOLE MAY BE A SINGLE OBJECT OR A

GROUP OF OBJECTS.

EXAMPLE :

TYPES OF FRACTIONS PROPER FRACTIONS

IMPROPER FRACTIONS

TYPE

PROPER IMPROPER EQUIVALENT MIXED UNLIKE LIKE

FRACTIONS FRACTIONS FRACTIONS FRACTIONS FRACTIONS FRACTIONS

IMPROPER FRACTIONS THE FRACTIONS, WHERE THE NUMERATOR IS

BIGGER THAN THE DENOMINATOR.

EXAMPLE : 7 1/9

= 11

4

MIXED FRACTIONS A MIXED FRACTIONS HAS A WHOLE AND A

PART.

EXAMPLE : 17/4

Q = 4

R = 1

LIKE FRACTIONS FRACTIONS WITH SAME DENOMINATOR ARE

CALLED LIKE FRACTIONS.

EXAMPLE : 3 9

15 15

UNLIKE FRACTIONS THEIR DENOMINATOR ARE DIFFERENT.

THERFORE, THEY ARE NOT LIKE FRACTIONS.

THEY ARE CALLED UNLIKE FRACTIONS .

EXAMPLE : 3 9

24 36

PROPER FRACTIONS A PROPER FRACTIONS IS A NUMBER

REPRESENTING PART OF A WHOLE.

EXAMPLE : 5 9

7 10

EQUIVALENT FRACTIONS

THEY REPRESENT THE SAME PART OF WHOLE.

EXAMPLE :

OPERATION OF FRACTION [

ADD AND SUBTRACT ]WE NEED TO FIND EQUIVALENT

FRACTIONS, WHICH HAVE THE SAME

DENOMINATOR.

EXAMPLE : 5 - 3

6 4

= 1

12

SIMPLEST FORM OF A FRACTIONSA FRACTION IS SAID TO BE IN THE

SIMPLEST FRM IF ITS NUMERATOR AND

DENOMINATOR HAVE NO COMMON

FACTOR EXCEPT 1.

EXAMPLE: 18 = 18/9 = 2

27 = 27/9 = 3

SO WE SEE THAT A

FRACTION ON

WHOLE PLAYS A

VERY IMPORTANT

ROLE IN OUR DAY TO

DAY LIFE.
