To put fractions into opposite fractions, all you have to do is flip it so that the numerator becomes the denominator and the denominator becomes the numerator. This is called a reciprocal. Example: The opposite of 3/5 is 5/3
A proper fraction is a fraction where the numerator is less than the denominator. In this case, all proper fractions with a denominator of 3 would have a numerator less than 3. Therefore, the proper fractions with a denominator of 3 would be 1/3 and 2/3. These fractions represent parts of a whole divided into three equal parts.
SIMPLEST FORM fractions are fractions that have a denominator that is not divisible by the numerator 3/9 (pretend it is a fraction) can be simplified because both 3 and 9 are divisible by three, creating 1/3, which is in simplest form.
They need a common denominator when you add them. For example, if you want to add 1/2 and 1/3, you need to change the fractions to equivalents that share the same denominator, so you can combine them. 1/2 + 1/3 = 3/6 + 2/6 = 5/6
Because the denominator does not express a value, only the size of the parts being added or subtracted. You can think of integers as fractions with a denominator of 1. At any rate, 1/3 plus 1/3 = 2/3, as you can see with any sliced pizza. When you multiply fractions, the denominator is telling you to change the size of those parts, so that 1/2 of 1/3 is 1/6.
