Bethel's Fraction Scribepost

Textbook page 228-229


How to answer the questions:
- If the fraction is a whole put it in fraction form.
ex: 2 = 2/1
- If there is a mixed number you can convert it to an improper fraction. 
ex:   9/3/4
     = 9 x 3 + 4
     = 39/4
- Then put the equation in fraction form.
- After that the denominator has to equal one by doing reciprocal.
- Reciprocal are two numbers  that when multiplied equal one.
ex: 1/4 x 4/1 = 4/4 or 1
- What ever you do to the denominator do that for the numerator.
- Draw a diagram or write down a question to help you understand more.
-Simplify the answer if not.
