Answer 1

$\huge{ \underline{ \underline{ \text{ \red{✿Answer}}}}}$

Based on numerator and denominator, apart from these three major types of fractions, there are three more types of fractions namely like & unlike fractions and equivalent fractions. Hence, there are in total six types of fractions such as:

• Proper fraction
• Improper fraction
• Mixed fraction
• Like fractions
• Unlike fractions
• Equivalent fractions

Proper Fraction

A fraction where the numerator is less than the denominator, then it is known as a proper fraction.

i.e., Numerator < Denominator

Examples of Proper Fractions: 2/3, 2/4, 2/5, 1/2. 4/7, 7/9, etc. (Numerator < Denominator)

Note:

• The value of proper fraction after further simplification is always less than 1.

Improper Fraction

A fraction where the numerator is greater than the denominator, then it is known as an improper fraction.

i.e., Numerator > Denominator

Examples of Improper Fractions: 3/2, 4/2, 5/2, 7/4, 9/7, 8/5, etc. (Numerator > Denominator)

Note:

• All the natural numbers can be represented in the form of fractions, where the denominator is always equal to 1.
• The simplification of improper fraction results in the value which is equal or greater than 1, but not less than 1.

Mixed Fraction

A mixed fraction is the combination of a natural number and fraction. It is basically an improper fraction.

Examples of mixed fraction

$\sf{ 4 \frac{2}{3} , 2 \frac{2}{3} 1 \frac{1}{3} }$

Note:

Mixed fractions can always be converted into a fraction.

An improper fraction can be converted into a mixed fraction.

A mixed fraction is always greater than 1.

Like Fractions

The fractions which have the same denominators are called like fractions.

For example 1/2, 3/2, 5/2, 7/2 are like fractions.

Unlike Fractions

The fractions which have unequal denominators or different denominators are called, unlike fractions.

For example 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, are unlike fractions.

Equivalent Fractions

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 are equivalent.

1/3 and 3/9 are equivalent.
