Fraction work sheet

What is fraction?
Fractions represent the parts of a whole or collection of objects. A fraction has

two parts. The number on the top of the line is called the numerator. It tells how

many equal parts of the whole or collection are taken. The number below the

line is called the denominator. It shows the total number of equal parts the

whole is divided into or the total number of the same objects in a collection.

Types of Fractions

The primary parts of a fraction are the numerator and the denominator. Based

on these, different types of fractions can be defined. Let us look at some

common types of fractions.


Operations of fraction

1- Addition:

 Same Denominator: If the fractions have the same denominator, siply a

dd the numerators and keep the denominator the same. For exmple:

2/4 + 4/4 = 6/4

 Different Denominators: If the fractions have different denominators,

find a common denominator (usually the least common multiple of the d

enominators), convert the fractions to equivalent fractions, and then ad

d the numerators. For example:

¼ + 1/6 =

The least common multiple of 4 and 6 is 12.

¼ = 3/12 and 1/6 = 2/12

3/12 + 2/12 = 5/12

2- Subtraction of Fractions

 Same Denominator: Similar to addition, if the fractions have the same

denominator, subtract the numerators and keep the denominator the

same. For example:

 4/8 – 1/8 = 3/8


 Different Denominators: Find a common denominator, convert the
fractions, and then subtract the numerators. For example:
3/5 – 1/10

 The least common multiple of 5 and 10 is 10.

Convert to 6/10 and 1/10

6/10 – 1/10 = 5/10

 Multiplication of Fraction: To multiply fractions, multiply the

numerators together and the denominators together. For example:

4/3 × 2/5 = 8/15

 Division of Fractions: To divide fractions, multiply by the reciprocal of

the second fraction. For example:

4/3 ÷ 2/5 4×2 and 5×3

8/15

Drawing a fraction:

Fraction can be represented in shapes, for example


Equivalent fractions

are different fractions that represent the same value or part of a whole,

achieved by multiplying or dividing the numerator and denominator by the

same number.

Fraction of Amount:

A fraction of an amount refers to a part of a whole, expressed as a ratio,

to find a fraction of an amount, divide by the denominator and multiply

by the numerator. Example

4/5 of 30% =

30/5= 6 6×4 = 24
Exercise

Question one: write the missing number to make an equivalent

fraction:
Question Two: solve the following problems:
Colour the shape to draw the fraction
Find the product
