Fractions consist of a numerator and denominator, and can be converted to decimals by dividing the numerator by the denominator. To perform operations like addition or subtraction, ensure the denominators are the same, while multiplication involves multiplying numerators and denominators directly. Dividing fractions requires taking the reciprocal of the second fraction and then multiplying, which is crucial for mastering algebra.

📘 Page 2: Fractions and Decimals

Fractions represent parts of a whole and consist of a numerator (top number) and
denominator (bottom number). To convert a fraction to a decimal, divide the
numerator by the denominator. For instance, 3/4 becomes 0.75 when divided. To
convert a decimal to a fraction, write the decimal as a ratio over a power of ten
and simplify (e.g., 0.25 = 25/100 = 1/4).

When adding or subtracting fractions, make sure the denominators are the same. If
they’re not, find a common denominator first. For example, to add 1/3 and 1/6,
convert 1/3 to 2/6, then add: 2/6 + 1/6 = 3/6 = 1/2. Multiplying fractions is
simpler: multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. For
example, 2/3 × 4/5 = 8/15.

Dividing fractions involves flipping the second fraction (taking its reciprocal)
and multiplying. So, 2/3 ÷ 4/5 becomes 2/3 × 5/4 = 10/12 = 5/6 after
simplification. Mastering these operations with fractions is essential for success
in algebra and beyond.
