Mathematics

Points to remember:
Remember what we do to the denominator we must do to
the numerator. If we multiply the denominator by 3, then we must
multiply the numerator by 3 as well.
Remember to simplify
your fractions and convert improper fractions to mixed numbers.
How to add/subtract
fractions
- if the fractions have the same denominator, we simply add/subtract the
numerators. For example, 1/6 + 4/6 = 5/6 & ¾ - ¼ = 2/4 = 1/2. However, if
the denominators are different our first step is to find the lowest common
denominator. For example, 1/3 + ½ = 2/6 + 3/6 = 5/6 & 5/6 – ½ = 5/6 – 3/6 =
2/6 = 1/3.
