Fractions

• Multiplying fractions is easy; you just multiply the top numbers together and the bottom numbers together, and you have your answer.
• Adding fractions can be done in a similar way, by adding the top numbers together and keeping the same bottom number in the answer.
• If fractions have the same bottom numbers, they can be added by just adding the top numbers together and keeping the same bottom number in the answer.
• When the numerator and denominater have the same number it makes an whole
• Likewise, if you add 5 over 16 and 2 over 16, you get 7 over 16.
• A 'denominator' is just a fancy math word for the bottom number of a fraction.
• Subtracting fractions with the same bottom numbers is easy, and the process is the same as adding them.
• The term 'common' in 'common denominator' means that they're the same.
• Fractions with the same bottom numbers are referred to as 'like' fractions.
• If you add one-half and one-half, you get a whole.
• In math language, this process of changing 'unlike' fractions into 'like' fractions is called "finding a common denominator".
• The only way to add 'unlike' fractions without doing the division first, is to change them so that they do have the same bottom numbers.
• The term for problems like this is “Adding or Subtracting ‘Like’ Fractions”.
• multiplying fractions are really easy you just multiply the numerator by the numerator and denominater by the denominator
• Multiplying integers which are whole numbers by fracation is different from having 2 fractions
• To multiply a integer by fraction you multiply the numirator and the integer and you keep the denominator the same
• 1 x 3/4=0.75 and 3/4
• 4 x 6/7 = 24/7
