Project in Business Math

This document provides information about fractions including definitions, types of fractions, and the four basic operations involving fractions - addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. It defines fractions as a numerical quantity that is not a whole number. The key types of fractions are defined as proper fractions, improper fractions, and mixed fractions. Step-by-step processes for adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing fractions are outlined along with examples for each operation.

What Are Fractions??

 Fractions are a numerical quantity that is not a whole


number.

5
5whole number 12
Fraction

Numerator
5
Denominator
12

 The word fraction actually comes from the Latin


"frangere" meaning to break.

 As Early as 1800 BC, The Egyptians were writing


fractions

 It is said that fractions also helped the Egyptians build the


Pyramids of Giza
 A numerical representation indicating the quotient of two
numbers
Types of Fractions

1.) Proper Fractions


The numerator is greater than the denominator
Examples:
2 4 5 6 7
, , , , …etc.
3 5 9 10 14

2.) Improper Fractions


The denominator is greater than the numerator
Examples:
3 5 9 10 14
, , , , …etc.
2 4 5 6 7

3.) Mixed Fractions


A combination of a proper fraction and a whole number
Examples:
2 4 5
4 3, 2 5, 3 9…etc.
Addition of Fractions

Step 1: Make the denominators the same by finding their least


common denominator
Step 2: Add the numerator and put the answer over the same
denominator
Step 3: Simplify the fraction if needed
Addt’l Steps
 When there are mixed numbers associated with the
problem simplify them first into improper fractions then
continue with the next steps
 Simplify the equation ahead when possible
Examples:
2 4 10+12 22 7
1.) + = = =1
3 5 15 15 15
2 1 3
2.) + =
4 4 4
3 3 3 15 12+75 87 7
3.) + 3 = + = = =4
5 4 5 4 20 20 20
Subtraction of Fractions

Step 1: Make the denominators the same by finding their least


common denominator
Step 2: Subtract the numerator and put the answer over the
same denominator
Step 3: Simplify the fraction if needed
Addt’l Steps
 When there are mixed numbers associated with the
problem simplify them first into improper fractions then
continue with the next steps
 Simplify the equation ahead when possible
Examples:
4 2 20−6 14
1.) - = =
3 5 15 15
2 1 1
2.) − =
4 4 4
3 3 15 3 25−12 13
3.) 3 − = − = =
4 5 4 5 20 20
Multiplication of Fractions

Step 1: Simplify the fractions if they are not in their lowest


terms
Step 2: Multiply the numerator of the fraction to get the new
numerator
Step 3: Multiply the denominator of the fractions to get the
new denominator
Addt’l Steps
 When there are mixed numbers associated with the
problem simplify them first into improper fractions then
continue with the next steps
 Simplify the equation ahead when possible (see. Ex 3)
Examples:
8 7 56 11
1.) × = =3
5 3 15 15
4 2 14 32 448 8
2.) 2 × 3 = × = = 44
5 10 5 10 10 10
14 3 7
3.) × =
18 2 6
Division of Fractions

Step 1: Find the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction

Step 2: Multiply the number by the reciprocal of the fraction

Step 3: Simplify the resulting fraction if possible


Addt’l Steps
 When there are mixed numbers associated with the
problem simplify them first into improper fractions then
continue with the next steps
 Simplify the equation ahead when possible (see. Ex 3)
Examples:
1
1.) 3 ÷ = 3 × 4 = 12
4
3 4 3 5 15 7
2.) ÷ = × = =1
2 5 2 4 8 8
4 12 4 27 9
3.) ÷ = × = =3
3 27 3 12 3
