Equivalent fractions.
You never 'do' the fractions. There are a number of procedures you may be askedto do with them, and the technique and operations you choose will depend in eachcase on exactly what you've been asked to 'do' with them.
Irrational and transcendental numbers cannot be written (exactly) as fractions.
There are an infinite number of different fractions between two fractions. If you want the one that's exactly in the middle, half-way between them, there's only one of those. It's called the "average" of the two fractions. Find it like this: -- Add the two fractions together. -- Divide the sum by 2 .
LCD is the Lowest Common Denominator which is the lowest number into which the denominators of all the fractions will each divide exactly. Each of the fractions can then be converted to an equivalent fraction with the new denominator which then allows the fractions to be added and/or subtracted.
It means that two fractions represent exactly the same number - it is just written in a different way. For example, 2/4 is the same as 1/2, meaning it is really the same number.
There are infinitely many fractions between any two numbers - no matter how close they are to each other. There is no number which is "exactly the fraction".
You draw each of the fractions on the number line, and see which one is more to the right, i.e., greater. Please note that plotting the exact position of fractions this way is a bit imprecise - it is more exact to convert the fractions to a common denominator.
A number line represents equivalent fractions by showing that different fractions can occupy the same point on the line. For example, the fractions 1/2, 2/4, and 4/8 can all be marked at the same position, indicating they are equivalent. By dividing the line into equal segments, it visually demonstrates how these fractions represent the same portion of the whole. This visual representation helps to clarify the concept of equivalence among fractions.
fractions are parts of a whole number
fractions are parts of a number
There are an infinite number of fractions of six.
