How to Work with Fractions
A fraction represents a part of a whole. It consists of a numerator (top number) and a denominator (bottom number).
Adding & Subtracting Fractions
To add or subtract fractions, you need a common denominator. Multiply each fraction so they share the same denominator, then add or subtract the numerators.
Multiplying Fractions
Multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. Then simplify if possible.
Dividing Fractions
Multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction (flip the second fraction, then multiply).
Example
1/2 + 3/4 = 2/4 + 3/4 = 5/4 = 1 1/4
