A proper fraction has a top smaller than the bottom: 3/5. An improper fraction has a top bigger than or equal to the bottom: 7/4. A mixed fraction has a whole and a fraction together: 1¾.
| Type | Example |
|---|---|
| Proper | 3/5, 1/2, 4/7 |
| Improper | 7/4, 5/3, 9/2 |
| Mixed | 1¾, 2½, 3⅔ |
| Whole | 5 = 5/1 |
You cannot add 1/2 + 1/3 directly! First make the denominators the same. 1/2 = 3/6 and 1/3 = 2/6. Now add: 3/6 + 2/6 = 5/6.
3/6
To multiply fractions, multiply the tops and multiply the bottoms. 2/3 × 4/5 = (2×4)/(3×5) = 8/15. Simple as that!
