Tues 9/29 - Opposites and Absolute Value

Mixed Number - A whole number and a fraction combined to represent one number -- Example: 

Improper Fraction- A fraction whose numerator is greater than or equal to its denominator -- Example: $\frac{3}{2}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \frac{5}{3}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \frac{10}{7}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \frac{98}{2}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \frac{4}{4}$  

To change from a mixed number to an improper fraction Multiply the denominator by the whole number. Then add the numerator to the product.  That becomes your new numerator. Denominator stays the same

 $4\ \frac{2}{3}\ ->\ \left(4\ x\ 3\right)\ +\ 2\ =\ \frac{14}{3}$  

To change from an improper fraction to a mixed number, Divide the numerator by the denominator.  Whole number is how many times it fits in, the remainder becomes your new numerator and the denominator stays the same. 

 $\ \frac{14}{3}->\ 14\ \div3\ =\ 4\ with\ 2\ left\ over.\ \ ->\ 4\ \frac{2}{3}$
