Q

Fractions within the Denominator trick

A

Fractions that contain a fraction in the denominator can be simplified by putting the numerator over one and multiplying the numerator by the “flip” of the denominator

example:

2/(1/3)

= (2/1) / (1/3)

= (2/1) x (3/1)

= 6

Q

How do you convert a fraction into a mixed numeral?

A

1) Divide the numerator by the denominator. The number of times that the denominator can go into the numerator determines the whole number portion of the mixed numeral
2) Place the remainder over the denominator. The resulting fraction is the fractional portion of the mixed numeral.

Q

How do you add fractions with different denominators?

A

To add fractions with different denominators

1) first you must ffind the lowest common denominator (LCD)
2) then you must convert each fraction to be added into a new fraction by multiplying the numerator and the denominator of each fraction by the value that raises each denominator to the LCD.

This process is known as converting fractions to equivalent fractions

Q

Definition: Reciprocals

A

Reciprocals are any two numbers whose product equals 1.

>> While commonly thought of as “flips” that there are also reciprocals that assume different forms – in particular, look to reciprocals involving roots <<

It is also important to remember that a fraction may have more than one reciprocal

>> To determine whether two numbers are reciprocals, always multiply them together <<

The Complex Numerator Shortcut

A

In complex fractions, if the numerator of a fraction contains addition or subtraction, that fraction can be split to simplify the arithmetic.

example:

(282 + 28) / 28 = (282/28) + (28/28)

= 28/1 + 1

= 29

This CANNOT be done with a complex denominator!

Definition: Complex Fraction

A

A complex fraction is any fraction that contains addition or subtraction in either the numerator or the denominator.

To simplify complex fractions, you must carry out the addition or subtraction in the numerator and/or denominator before simplifying the resulting fraction

>> Terms can only be cancelled within simple fractions <<

(you cannot factor out from the top and bottom if that factor only applies to one figure within the complex element of the fraction)

= (1/17)(13/4) x (1/13)(17/4)

= (13x1)/(17x4) x (17x1)(13x4)

(eliminate 17’s and 13’s)

= (1/4) x (1/4)

= 1/16

91

93
Q

How do you convert a mixed numeral into a fraction?

2) Place the sum over the denominator

94
Q

Definition: Levels of Fractions

A

Complex Fractions that contain fractions in either the numerator or the denominator can be thought of as having multiple “levels.”

Each “level” typically consists of two terms that need to be added or subtracted.

>> To simplify such fractions, work one “level” at a time, starting with the bottom “level” and progressing upwards <<

Example:

1/(2 + 1/3)

= 1/(2 1/3)

= (1/1) / (7/3)

= (1/1) x (3/7)

= 3/7

95

Q

5 - 2/3 = ?

A

LCD = 3

= 13/3

110
Q

111
Q

Definition: the number on the bottom of a fraction

A

The denominator

(eg. the fraction 2/3 has a denominator of 3)

112
Q

1 1/5 + 3 1/3 = ?

A

= 68/15

1 1/5 + 3 1/3

= (5/5)+(1/5) + (9/3)+(1/3)

= 6/5 + 10/3

(common denominator = 5x3 = 15)

(3/3)(6/5) + (5/5)(10/3)

= (18/15) + (50/15)

= (18+50)/15

= 68/15

113
Q

A

= 7/6

(4/30) / (12/105)

= (2/2)(2/15) / (3/3)(4/35)

= (2/15) / (4/35)

= (2/15) x (35/4)

= (2x35) / (15x4)

(divide by 2/2)

= (1x35) / (15x2)

= 35/30

= 5x7)/ (5x6)

= 7/6

114
Q

= 3/b

118
Q

Definition: Simple Fraction

A

A simple fraction contains no addition or subtraction in either the numerator or the denominator

>> Terms can only be cancelled within simple fractions<<

(you cannot factor out from the top and bottom if that factor only applies to one figure within the complex element of the fraction)

119
Q

Simplify the Fraction:

7/21

A

= 1/3

( 7/21 = (1x7) / (3x7) = 1/3 )

(the 7s cancel)

120
Q

Definition: Mixed Numeral

A

A Mixed Numeral is the combination of a whole number and a fraction

121
Q

(3x2/2XY) x (21Y/6X) = ?

A

= 21/4

(3x2/2XY) x (21Y/6X) = (3)(x)(x)/(2)(x)(y) x (3)(7)(y)/(2)(3)(x)

A

= x/(xy+1)

y + (1/x)

= (y/1) + (1/x)

= (x/x)(y/1) + (1/x)

= (xy/x) + (1/x)

= (xy+1)/x

Reciprocal = x/(xy+1)
