Operations with Fractions: Lesson 4.

How to add/subtract fractions with like denominators:


1.​ Make sure the denominators are the same
2.​ Apply the operation (addition/subtraction) to the numerators
3.​ Reduce if necessary

How to add/subtract fractions with unlike denominators:


1.​ Find the LCD (lowest common denominator)
2.​ Find the number that the numerators must be multiplied by to create equivalent
fractions
3.​ Add/subtract the numerators
4.​ Reduce if necessary

Converting from mixed number to improper fraction:


1.​ Multiply the whole number by the denominator of the fraction
2.​ Add the numerator to the result from step 1
3.​ Write the sum as the numerator of the fraction, with the original denominator
staying the same

Converting from improper fraction to mixed number:


1.​ Divide the numerator by the denominator
2.​ The quotient (e.g. 6 divided by 3 is 2, 2 is the quotient) becomes your whole number
3.​ The remainder becomes the numerator of the fraction portion
4.​ The denominator remains the same

Multiplying fractions:
1.​ Multiply the numerators (top numbers) (don’t forget to cancel out common factors!)
2.​ Multiply the denominators (bottom numbers).
3.​ Simplify the fraction if possible.

Dividing fractions:
1.​ Flip the fraction you are dividing by
2.​ Multiply the fractions as usual
3.​ Simplify if possible

Combining division and multiplication in fractions:


1.​ Turn all division operations into multiplication operations (by flipping the fraction)
2.​ Multiply as usual, cancelling out common factors where necessary
3.​ Simplify if possible

BEDMAS:
1.​ Brackets
2.​ Exponents
3.​ Division/multiplication (left to right)
4.​ Addition/subtraction (left to right)

Multiply the following fractions. If the answer is an improper fraction, convert


it to a mixed number:
3 8
1.​ ( 5 ) × ( 7 ) =
4 12
2.​ ( 9 ) × ( 8
)=
5 2
3.​ ( 6 ) × ( 3
)=
1 5
4.​ ( 2 ) × ( 6
)=
1 25
5.​ ( 5 ) × ( 2
)=

Divide the following fractions. If the answer is an improper fraction, convert it


to a mixed number:
3 3
1.​ ( 5 ) ÷ ( 7 )
5 8
2.​ ( 6 ) ÷ ( 9 )
6 6
3.​ ( 7 ) ÷ ( 14 )
10 5
4.​ ( 7
)÷(6)
6
5.​ (4) ÷ ( 7 )

Convert the following mixed fractions to improper fractions:


3
1.​ 3 5
1
2.​ 4 2
7
3.​ 2 8
5
4.​ 5 6
5
5.​ 6 9

Convert the following improper fractions to mixed fractions:


13
1.​ 5
33
2.​ 8
17
3.​ 4
19
4.​ 5
66
5.​ 5

Use BEDMAS (Brackets, Exponents, Division, Multiplication, Addition,


Subtraction) to solve the following. If the answer is an improper fraction,
convert it to a mixed number:
2 5 3 5
1.​ 3
+ 7
× 5
- 6
=
3 4 2
2.​ (2 + 4 ) × 3 - 5 =
3 7 1 7
3.​ 5
× ( 2
+ 2
) - 10
=
5 1 2 2
4.​ (6 + 3)× 3 - 3 =
2 4 7
5.​ 3 × ( 5 + 10 ) - 2

A recipe calls for 3/4 of a cup of sugar. If you want to make 3 times the amount
of the recipe, how much sugar will you need?

You have 5/6 of a pizza left, and you want to split it up so that each of your
1
friends can have 4
of the pizza. What portion of the pizza does each friend
get?

You are baking a cake and need 2 ⅓ cups of flour for each layer. If you want to
make 4 layers, how much flour will you need in total? (Hint: convert the mixed
number to an improper fraction first!)
