Multiplying Fractions
Welcome! In this lesson, we will learn how to multiply fractions.
Summary
Multiplying Fractions
a/b × c/d = (a × c) / (b × d)
Example
2/3 × 3/4
1 1/2 × 2/5
Welcome! In this lesson, we will learn how to multiply fractions.
Multiplying Fractions
a/b × c/d = (a × c) / (b × d)
Example
2/3 × 3/4
1 1/2 × 2/5
Welcome! In this lesson, we will learn about improper fractions and mixed numbers.
Improper Fractions
An improper fraction has a numerator larger than the denominator.
Example: 7/4
Improper → Mixed Number
7 ÷ 4 = 1 remainder 3
7/4 = 1 3/4
Mixed Numbers
A mixed number has a whole number and a fraction.
Example: 2 1/3
Mixed → Improper Fraction
2 × 3 + 1 = 7
2 1/3 = 7/3
Welcome! In this lesson, we will learn how to add and subtract fractions.
Adding and Subtracting Fractions
Same Denominator
If the denominators are the same, add or subtract the numerators.
Example:
1/5 + 2/5
5/7 − 2/7
Different Denominators
If the denominators are different, make them the same.
Use LCM to find a common denominator.
Example:
1/2 + 1/3
3/4 − 1/6
Simplifying Fractions
Use GCD to simplify fractions.
Example:
6/8 = 3/4
Welcome! In this lesson, we will learn about GCD and LCM.
GCD and LCM
Idea:
GCD (Greatest Common Divisor) is the largest number that divides two or more numbers.
LCM (Least Common Multiple) is the smallest number that both numbers divide into.
GCD Example:
GCD of 18 and 24
Largest common factor = 6 → GCD(18, 24) = 6
LCM Example:
LCM of 4 and 5
Smallest common multiple = 20 → LCM(4, 5) = 20
Welcome! In this lesson, we will learn about fractions.
Fractions
Idea:
Fractions represent parts of a whole.
We can convert fractions to decimals using division.
We can simplify fractions by dividing numerator and denominator by the same number.
Example 1:
1/2 = 1 ÷ 2
Example 2:
3/4 = 3 ÷ 4
Example 3:
4/8 = 1/2
Welcome to Decimals2! In this lesson, we will see how dividing numbers can create decimals.
Decimals from Division
Idea:
Dividing numbers can create decimals.
We understand decimals as parts of 1 using multiplication and division.
Example 1:
0.2 = 2 × 0.1 = 1 ÷ 5
Example 2:
0.5 = 5 × 0.1 = 1 ÷ 2
Example 3:
1.6 = 16 × 0.1 = 8 ÷ 5
Example 4:
0.02 = 2 × 0.01 = 1 ÷ 50
Welcome! In this lesson, we will learn about decimals.
Decimal Place Value
Idea:
Each place after the decimal point represents a fraction of 1.
1 tenth = 0.1, 1 hundredth = 0.01, 1 thousandth = 0.001
Example:
3.257 = 3 + 0.2 + 0.05 + 0.007
Welcome! In this lesson, we will learn about place value.
Place Value
Idea:
When 10 of the same value are collected, the place goes up.
After 9 comes 10.
10 ones = 1 ten
Example:
10 one-dollar bills = 10 dollars
10 ten-dollar bills = 100 dollars
10 hundred-dollar bills = 1,000 dollars
Example 1:
125
125 = 100 + 20 + 5
Example 2:
1,234
1,234 = 1,000 + 200 + 30 + 4
Welcome! In this lesson, we will learn bout order of operations.
Rules:
1.Multiplication (×) and Division (÷) are done before Addition (+) and Subtraction (−).
2.If there are both × and ÷ in the same expression, calculate from left to right.
Welcome! In this lesson, we will learn about acid-base reactions.
Acid-Base Reactions:
Chemical reactions between an acid and a base
Acid: Donates H⁺ ions
Base: Donates OH⁻ ions
Products:
Salt + Water
Examples:
HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H₂O
H₂SO₄ + 2NaOH → Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O
