How many different ways can you show fractions?

Answer 1

You can show fractions as simplified, unsimplified, improper, or mixed numbers:

Simplified- can be done different ways

1) 14/6= 7/3 <----- leaving it as a fraction is most common

2) 14/6= 2.3333333 <----- sometimes questions ask for a decimal answer

Unsimplified- you never leave a final answer unsimplified

1) 4/2 (simplified it equals 2)

2) 14/6= (simplified it equals 7/3)

Mixed numbers- this the opposite of improper form

1) 2 3/5 (2 wholes plus 3/5) is 10+13= 23/5r

Improper fractions- they're the opposite of mixed numbers and to do math problems must be in this form

1) 23/5 is 2 3/5 (2 wholes plus 3/5 extra)

Yep... fractions! :D
