Frequently asked questions about fractions in Grade 6
How do you calculate fractions in Grade 6?
To calculate fractions in Grade 6, you first need the same denominator. Then you add or subtract the numerators. To multiply, multiply the numerators together, then the denominators. The result should also be simplified if possible.
What is the fundamental rule of fractions?
The fundamental rule of fractions is that if you multiply or divide both numerator and denominator by the same number, the value of the fraction does not change. This allows simplifying or expanding a fraction.
How to explain fractions simply?
A fraction is a way to represent a part of a whole. The numerator (on top) shows how many parts you take, and the denominator (on the bottom) shows into how many parts it is divided. For example, 1/2 means “one half.”
What are the 3 types of fractions?
There are three types of fractions:
- the simple fraction, like 3/4;
- the equivalent fraction, which has the same value as another (e.g., 2/4 = 1/2);
- the decimal fraction, with denominator 10, 100, 1000, etc.
