Hebert-Everyday Math Unit 3 (Part #2) Review

Each person gets $$1 \frac{3}{6}$$ apples.

The result is $$\frac{13}{15}$$ .

Each friend ate $$1 \frac{1}{5}$$ sandwiches.

David should eat $$\frac{4}{15}$$ of a box of cereal each day.

The mixed number is 1 $$\frac{25}{7}$$ .

A fraction represents a part of a whole, expressed as $$\frac{a}{b}$$ where 'a' is the numerator and 'b' is the denominator.

A mixed number is a whole number combined with a fraction, such as 1 $$\frac{1}{2}$$ .

To divide fractions, multiply by the reciprocal of the divisor: $$\frac{a}{b} \div \frac{c}{d} = \frac{a}{b} \times \frac{d}{c}$$ .

The reciprocal of a fraction $$\frac{a}{b}$$ is $$\frac{b}{a}$$ .

To simplify a fraction means to reduce it to its lowest terms, where the numerator and denominator have no common factors.
