Examples: -√7, -1/3, 0, 1 3/4.
What are the arithmetic operations? - ANSWER include addition, subtraction,
multiplication, and dividing.
What are fractions? - ANSWER consist of a numerator (top number) and a
denominator (bottom number).
What are the proper fractions? - ANSWER: The numerator is smaller than the
denominator. Examples: 1/2 and 7/8.
What are incorrect fractions? - ANSWER: The numerator equals or exceeds the
denominator. Examples: 6/3 and 2/2.

What exactly is the concept of analogous factions? - ANSWER when two
fractions represent the same quantity and simplify equally. Examples: 1/2 and
2/4.
How can I simplify a fraction? - ANSWER by calculating which integer divides
evenly into the numerator and denominator. For example, the fraction 4/8
divides equally into 4 and 8, resulting in 4/8 ÷ 4/4 = 1/2.
How do you turn an incorrect fraction into a mixed fraction? - ANSWER:
Divide the numerator by the denominator to obtain a quotient of one, then write
the remainder over the original denominator. For example, 15/7 = 2 remainder
1, which is 2 1/7.
When adding and subtracting fractions, the denominator must match for both
numbers. What do you do when you have different denominators? - ANSWER:
Find the least common denominator by dividing both denominators evenly.
How does one multiply and divide fractions? - ANSWER: Simply multiply the
two numerators to obtain the numerator of the answer, and multiply the two
denominators to get the denominator of the solution.
