🔢 Part 1: Adding and Subtracting Fractions

How to Add Fractions:

1. Find a common denominator (bottom number)

2. Convert fractions to equivalent fractions with the same denominator

3. Add the numerators (top numbers)

4. Keep the denominator the same

5. Simplify if possible

Example: 1/4 + 1/6 = 3/12 + 2/12 = 5/12

✖️ Part 2: Multiplying and Dividing Fractions

How to Multiply Fractions:

1. Multiply the numerators together

2. Multiply the denominators together

3. Simplify the result

How to Divide Fractions:

1. Keep the first fraction the same

2. Change division to multiplication

3. Flip the second fraction (reciprocal)

4. Multiply as normal

Example: 2/3 ÷ 4/5 = 2/3 × 5/4 = 10/12 = 5/6

🔄 Part 3: Converting Between Forms

Converting Improper Fractions to Mixed Numbers:

1. Divide the numerator by the denominator

2. The whole number is your answer

3. The remainder becomes the new numerator

4. Keep the same denominator

Example: 17/5 = 3 2/5 (because 17 ÷ 5 = 3 remainder 2)

a) 23/7 = ____________

b) 19/4 = ____________

c) 31/6 = ____________

a) 4 2/3 = ____________

b) 2 5/8 = ____________
