What are regular fractions?

Regular fractions are the fractions with a numerator that is less than the denominator and irregular fractions are fractions with a denominator less than the numerator.


What does it mean to compare fractions?

From what I remember, usually comparing 2 fractions means to determine which one is greater. For example compare 2/3 and 3/4. Either convert both to decimal if you're allowed to have a calculator, then you can certainly do that by just dividing. Or you can find a common denominator for the two fractions, and compare the equivalent fractions. In this case the lowest common denominator is 12, and 2/3 is 8/12 and 3/4 is 9/12. Since 9 is bigger than 8, then 9/12 is greater than 8/12, and 3/4 is greater than 2/3.


What are the kinds of fractions?

Proper: Numerator less than denominator. Ex.: 5/8Improper: Numerator equal to or greater than denominator. Ex.: 9/4Mixed: a simplified improper fraction, with a whole number and a proper fraction. Ex.: 6 and 2/3---- There are 5 kinds of fraction. Proper fraction, improper fraction, mixed number, unit fraction, and equivalent fractions. An example of a proper fraction is 3/4. An example of an improper fractions is 13/12. An example of a mixed number is 1 and 1/4. An example of a unit fraction is 1/3. An example of equivalent fractions is 4/8 = 1/2.There are improper fractions which have a numerator with a higher value than the denominator (10/5, 15/7, etc).There are also proper fractions in which the denominator is a higher number than the numerator (4/7, 6/10,etc).There are mixed fractions which are improper fractions written with a number written to the left of the fraction (4 1/3), 10 1/2, etc).
