Understanding Fraction Operations
Adding Fractions
To add fractions, find a common denominator, add the numerators, and simplify. Example: 1/4 + 1/2 = 1/4 + 2/4 = 3/4
Subtracting Fractions
Similar to addition, find a common denominator, subtract the numerators, and simplify. Example: 3/4 - 1/2 = 3/4 - 2/4 = 1/4
Multiplying Fractions
Multiply the numerators together and the denominators together, then simplify. Example: 2/3 x 3/4 = 6/12 = 1/2
Dividing Fractions
Flip the second fraction and multiply. Example: 1/2 ÷ 1/4 = 1/2 x 4/1 = 4/2 = 2
