Answer 2

Answer:

In Mathematics, fractions are defined as the parts of a whole. The whole can be a number or any specific value or a thing. In other words, it is also termed as a portion or section of any quantity. It is denoted by using ‘/’ symbol, such as a/b. For example, in 2/4 is a fraction where the upper part denotes the numerator and lower part is the denominator.

A fraction is a word that is originated from Latin. In Latin, “Fractus” means “broken”. In real life, when we cut a piece of cake from the whole of it, say 1/4th of it, then the portion is the fraction of the cake.

Type of Fractions

Based on the properties of numerator and denominator, fractions are sub-divided into different types. They are:

Proper fractions

Improper fractions

Mixed fractions

Like fractions

Unlike fractions

Equivalent fractions

Unit fractions

Proper Fractions

The proper fractions are those where the numerator is less than the denominator. For example, 8/9 will be a proper fraction since “numerator < denominator”.  

Improper Fractions

The improper fraction is a fraction where the numerator happens to be greater than the denominator. For example, 9/8 will be an improper fraction since “denominator < numerator”.

Mixed Fractions

A mixed fraction is a combination of the integer part and a proper fraction. These are also called a mixed number or mixed numeral.

Like Fractions

Like fractions are those fractions, as the name suggests, that are alike or same.

For example, take ½ and 2/4; they are alike since if you simplify it mathematically, you will get the same fraction.  

Unlike Fractions

Unlike fractions, are those that are dissimilar.

For example, ½ and 1/3 are unlike fractions.

Equivalent Fractions

Two fractions are equivalent to each other if after simplification either of two fractions is equal to the other one.  

For example, ⅔ and 4/6 are equivalent fractions.

Since, 4/6 = (2×2)/(2×3) = 2/3

Unit Fractions

A fraction is known as a unit fraction, when the numerator is equal to 1.  

One half of whole = ½

One-third of whole = 1/3

One-fourth of whole = ¼
