Answer 2

$\bf Fractions$

The numbers of the form a/b, where b ≠ 0 and a,b are whole numbers is called a fraction. For fraction a/b, a is called numerator and b is called denominator of the fraction.

$\bf Types \: of \: fraction$

Proper fraction : If the numerator of a fraction is smaller than the denominator then fraction is called proper fraction.

For example :

$\mathfrak{ \dfrac{1}{3}, \dfrac{4}{5} ,\dfrac{7}{9} \: etc.}$

Improper fraction : If the numerator of a fraction is greater than the denominator then fraction is called improper fraction.

For example :

$\mathfrak{ \dfrac{4}{3}, \dfrac{9}{5} ,\dfrac{10}{7} etc.}$

Like fraction : Fractions with same denominators are called like fractions

For example :

$\mathfrak{ \dfrac{1}{5}, \dfrac{2}{5} ,\dfrac{3}{5} etc.}$

Unlike fraction : Fractions with different denominators are called like fractions.

For example :

$\mathfrak{ \dfrac{1}{7}, \dfrac{5}{3} ,\dfrac{4}{5} etc.}$

Unit Fraction : Fraction whose numerator is one is called unit fraction.

For example :

$\mathfrak{ \dfrac{1}{7}, \dfrac{1}{3} ,\dfrac{1}{5} etc.}$

Mixed Fraction : Fraction having whole number along with proper fraction is known as mixed fraction.

For example :

$\mathfrak{ 1\dfrac{2}{3}, 1\dfrac{4}{5} ,2\dfrac{2}{3} etc.}$

Equivalent Fractions : A given fraction and fraction obtained by multiplying or dividing its numerator and denominator by the same non zero integer are called equivalent fraction.
