The term used to describe the parts of a full object is fractions. For instance, if the cake is divided into four parts, each part is equal to one-fourth of the cake. Here, the numerator is 1, the denominator is 4 and the fraction is 1/4. See the below figure to understand this concept of fractions.
The three basic fraction types that can be distinguished based on the numerator and the denominator are:
Proper fractions.
Improper fractions.
Mixed fractions.
A fraction group's classification helps in fraction comparison. They belong into the following categories:
Like fractions
Unlike fractions
Equivalent fractions
A proper fraction is one whose numerator is less than its denominator.
Example- \frac{4}{5}, \frac{7}{8}, \frac{2}{5}.
A fraction whose numerator is more than or equal to its denominator is referred to as an improper fraction.
Example- \frac{5}{4}, \frac{8}{7}, \frac{5}{2}
An improper fraction can be expressed as a mixed fraction by dividing the numerator by the denominator and yielding the quotient and remainder. As its name implies, it combines a whole and a "part."
Examples- 1\frac{5}{4}, 3\frac{8}{7}, 6\frac{5}{2}.
Like fractions are those two or more fractions that include the same denominator but a different numerator.
Example- \frac{5}{4}, \frac{8}{4}
When two or more fractions contain different denominators, the fractions are referred to as, unlike fractions.
Example- \frac{5}{7}, \frac{8}{9}
Fractions that retain the same value when simplified are said to be equivalent.
Example- \frac{25}{20} can be simplified as \frac{5}{4}
. These two fractions are equivalent.
Unit fractions or unique fractions are fractions with the number 1 as the numerator.
Example- \frac{1}{20}, \frac{1}{15}, \frac{1}{6}
Q1: Identity which type of fractions are given.
Ans:
\frac{5}{10} = Proper fraction
\frac{15}{10} = Improper fraction
\frac{1}{10} = Unit fraction
Q2: State whether the following is true or false
Ans:
1\frac{2}{5} is a improper fraction- False
\frac{2}{5} is equivalent to \frac{10}{25}
- True
\frac{10}{25}, \frac{10}{5}, \frac{7}{35} are like fractions- False, these are unlike fractions.
