Answer

A fraction is number representing a part of a whole. The whole can be a group of objects or a single object. For example, 310 3 10 is a fraction and read as three-tenth. In the fraction, the top number is called the numerator whereas the bottom number is called the denominator.

step - step by explaintion

1. In real life, we will many examples of fractions, such as:

If a pizza is divided into two equal parts, then each part is equal to half of the whole pizza

If we divide a slice of watermelon into three equal parts then each part is equal 1/3rd of the whole

2.Types of Fractions

Types of FractionsThere are four different types of fractions. They are:

Unit Fraction – In a fraction, the numerator with 1 is called a unit fraction. For example, ½, ¼

Proper Fraction – If a numerator value is less than the denominator value, it is called a proper fraction. Example: 7/9, 8/10

Fraction – If a numerator value is less than the denominator value, it is called a proper fraction. Example: 7/9, 8/10Improper Fraction – If a numerator value is greater than the denominator value, then it is called an improper fraction. Example: 6/5, 11/10

Mixed Fraction – If a fraction consists of a whole number with a proper fraction, it is called a mixed fraction. Example 5 ¾, 10 ½

3. Other Types

Like Fractions – The fractions with the same denominator are called like fractions.

Fractions – The fractions with the same denominator are called like fractions.Example: 4/2, 7/2, 9/2

Fractions – The fractions with the same denominator are called like fractions.Example: 4/2, 7/2, 9/2Here, the denominators of all the fractions are 2. Hence, they are called like fractions.

Unlike Fractions – The fractions with different denominators are called, unlike fractions.

Fractions – The fractions with different denominators are called, unlike fractions.Example: 5/2, 4/6, 9/4

Fractions – The fractions with different denominators are called, unlike fractions.Example: 5/2, 4/6, 9/4Here, the denominator values are different in all the fractions. Hence, they are called, unlike fractions.

Equivalent Fractions – If two fractions result in same value, after simplification, then they are equivalent to each other.

Fractions – If two fractions result in same value, after simplification, then they are equivalent to each other. Example: ⅔ and 4/6 are equivalent fractions, since 4/6 = (2×2)/(2×3) = 2/3

Example of fraction

(a) 5 ⅓ – The given fraction is a mixed fraction. Because it is a combination of both whole number and a proper fraction.

(a) 5 ⅓ – The given fraction is a mixed fraction. Because it is a combination of both whole number and a proper fraction.(b) 4/6, 8/6, 9/6 – The given fractions are like fractions. Because the denominators of all the fractions are the same, i.e. 6.
