Imagine that you have to solve the following addition problem that combines decimals and fractions: It’s not so easy to add a fraction to a decimal, right? It’s much easier to add fractions to fractions, or decimals to decimals. So, we can do this in two ways: Change the decimal to a fraction. Change the […]

In order to subtract or add fractions, we must have the same denominator. We can see this in different cases: Subtract or add fractions with the same denominator: If both fractions to be added or subtracted have the same denominator, we leave the same denominator and add or subtract the numerator. We are going to look […]

In this post, we are going to learn how to divide fractions. In order to do this, we are going to take a look at two different methods: Method 1 for dividing fractions: Cross-multiplication This method consists of multiplying the numerator of the first fraction by the denominator of the second fraction and then writing […]

In this post, we are going to learn how we can calculate the lowest terms fractions by reducing them. Before we start, let’s see what lowest terms fractions are: lowest terms fractions are fractions that cannot be simplified further. How do we find the lowest terms of a fraction? There are two methods: Method 1: Divide […]
