=Parent Informtion= Fractions are part of a whole. E.g 1/2, 1/4, 1/10, etc. Fractions can be added, subtracted, multiplied and/or divided.

To add fractions, you add the numurator (the top of the fraction) with the other numerator. E.g 1/2+1/2=2/2 OR 1
 * Adding Fractions**

If there are two different fraction with a different denominator (the bottem of the fraction), you change the denominator's numbers to two eqaul numbers, and you do to the bottom, you do to the top. E.g 1/2+1/4=3/4 is the same as 2/4+1/4=3/4

If there's a fraction that is an improper fraction, you do the same thing in the 2nd paragraph, and then change it to a mixed fraction. E.g 8/4+1/4=9/4=2 1/4 If there's a fraction that is a mixed fraction, you change it into an improper fraction, and do the same thing as paragraph above this. E.g. 1 1/2+1/2=2

To subtract fractions, you subtract the numurator (the top of the fraction) with the other numerator. E.g 2/4 - 1/4=1/4
 * Subtracting Fractions**

If there are two different fraction with a different denominator (the bottem of the fraction), you change the denominator's numbers to two eqaul numbers, and you do to the bottom, you do to the top. E.g 1/2-1/4=1/4 is the same as 2/4-1/4=1/4

If there's a fraction that is an improper fraction, you do the same thing in the 2nd paragraph, and then change it to a mixed fraction if it's an improper fraction. E.g 8/4-1/4=7/4=1 3/4

If there's a fraction that is a mixed fraction, you change it into an improper fraction, and do the same thing as paragraph above this. E.g. 1 1/2-1/2=1/2


 * Multiplying Fractions**

To multiply fractions, you multiply the fraction with opposing fraction and vice-versa. E.g 2/4 x 1/2=2/8

If there's a fraction that is an improper fraction, you do the same thing in the 2nd paragraph, and then change it to a mixed fraction or a whole number. E.g 8/2 x 1/4=8/8=1

If there's a fraction that is a mixed fraction, you change it into an improper fraction, and do the same thing as paragraph above this. E.g. 1 1/2 x 1/2=3/4


 * Dividing Fractions**

To divided fractions, you just have to change one the fraction's denominator and numurator with each other. E.g 1/4 ÷ 1/2 = 4/2 OR 2 If there is a fraction that is 1/2, 1/4, 1/5, 1/10 or any fraction that relates with money, you change the denominator into 25, 50, and/or 100. What you do to the bottom, you do to the top. E.g 1/2 ÷ 1/10 = 5 OR 50/100 ÷ 10/100 = 5
