Fractions 5 Class Notes

Fractions represent parts of a whole. They are written as a numerator over a denominator, where the numerator indicates the number of parts and the denominator indicates the total number of parts the whole was divided into. There are three types of fractions: proper (numerator less than denominator), improper (numerator greater than or equal to denominator), and mixed (combination of whole number and fraction). Fractions can be added or subtracted by finding a common denominator. Real-life examples demonstrate using fractions to solve problems involving portions of items.

Fractions

Fraction: A fraction represents a part of whole

Fractions are used to represent quantities less than 1

For example : consider an apple as whole

If you want to give apple to two students

Then would cut the apple into two pieces

Then each student would get 1 part out of 2 parts.


A fraction can be represented in the form of numerator and denominator

Numerator: Represents How many parts do you have

Denominator: Represents How many parts the whole is divided into

Types of fractions

Proper fraction: Fractions having numerator less than denominator is called proper
fractions

2 4 6
Improper fraction: when the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator
then it is called improper fraction.
It represents the mixture of whole and a proper fraction.

5 1
Example: Fraction form of shaded part = 2
or 2 + 2

Mixed fraction :The improper fraction can be written in the mixed form as it
is the mixture of whole and a fraction

1 1
Example:Fraction form of shaded part = 1+ 4 = 1 4

Like fraction : The fractions with the same denominators are like fractions
Unlike fraction: The factions with the different denominator are
Called Unlike fractions.

Equivalent fraction : Two or more fractions are said to be equivalent if they are equal
to the same fraction when simplified.
Decimal Fractions: The fractions in which the denominator is equal to 10 or multiples of
10 (such as 100, 1000, 1000, 10000, etc.), are known as decimal fractions.
