You can use operations to model real-world fractions by applying addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to scenarios involving parts of a whole. For example, if you have a Pizza divided into 8 slices and you eat 3, you can represent this with the fraction 3/8 and model the remaining slices using subtraction. In cooking, if a recipe calls for 2/3 cup of sugar and you want to double it, you can use multiplication to find the total amount needed (2/3 × 2 = 4/3 or 1 1/3 cups). These operations help you visualize and solve practical problems involving fractions.
Operations can model real-world fractions by representing parts of a whole in various contexts. For example, addition can combine fractions to determine the total when sharing quantities, while subtraction can find the remaining part after a portion is taken away. Multiplication can calculate fractions of a quantity, such as finding a quarter of a pizza, and division can help distribute a total into equal fractional parts. These operations make it easier to understand and solve problems involving fractions in everyday situations.

Fractions are real numbers.
They are all real numbers. All fractions can be expressed as percentages but not all percentages can be represented as fractions.

To add fractions.
You use fractions for LOTS of things in the real world like money, gambling, shopping, clothing, etc.
Whenever we are dealing with rational fractions.
The question presumes that math classes are not part of the real world, which is debatable. The GCF can be used to simplify fractions. Carpenters and chefs use fractions in practical, non-academic settings.
Use the GCF to reduce fractions. Use the LCM to add and subtract unlike fractions. Carpenters work with fractions a lot.
A model that imitates something in the real world is called a simulator. A simulation imitates the operation of a real world or system over time.
When adding or subtracting fractions with different denominators and when reducing fractions to their lowest terms.
a model can not replicate all real world conditions --- study island :)
Real estate agents use basic math operations, typically high school level, to properly do their job. Basic math functions (multiplication, division, fractions, decimals and percentages) constitute most of the mathematical operations that a realtor needs.
