Help with fractions
July 19th, 2006 . by Vanaja
It appears that many students, even some students of grade 9 and grade 10 are struggling with fractions. So I have prepared this lesson.Not in a thorough but simplified manner.
A term which is of the form a/b is called a fraction. The top Numbers a’ is called the numerator and the bottom number ‘b’ is called the denominator.
Proper fraction: If the numerator is less than the denominator, it is called a proper fraction
Example:1/2,4/7
Improper Fraction: If the numerator is greater than the denominator, it is called an improper fraction.
Example:5/2,9/7
Mixed Fraction: - A term consisting of an integer (5) followed by a proper fraction (2/3), written as 5 2/3 is called a mixed fraction.
see you tomorrow
