Fraction definition and types of fraction with example
Answers
Answer:
Fractions are those terms which have numerator and denominator. Based on these two terms we define its types. Fractions are the terms used to determine the parts of a whole object. For example, a pizza is divided into four pieces, so each piece of it is represented as 1/4th of the pizza.
there are in total six types of fractions such as:
Proper fraction
Improper fraction
Mixed fraction
Like fractions
Unlike fractions
Equivalent fractions
Proper Fractions: The numerator is less than the denominator
Examples: 1/3, 3/4, 2/7
Improper Fractions: The numerator is greater than (or equal to) the denominator
Examples: 4/3, 11/4, 7/7
Mixed Fractions: A whole number and proper fraction together
Examples: 1 1/3, 2 1/4, 16 2/5
The fractions which have the same denominators are called like fractions.
For example 1/2, 3/2, 5/2, 7/2
The fractions which have unequal denominators or different denominators are called, unlike fractions.
For example 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5
When two or more fractions have the same result after simplification for which they represent the same portion of the whole, then such fractions are equal to each other and are called equivalent fractions.
For example, 1/2 and 2/4
