Fraction Basics
What is a fraction? A fraction represents a part of a whole number. It consists of a numerator (top number) and denominator (bottom number).
Proper vs Improper: Proper fractions have numerators smaller than denominators (like 3/4), while improper fractions have numerators larger than or equal to denominators (like 5/3).
Mixed Numbers: Combine whole numbers with fractions (like 1 2/3), representing the same value as improper fractions in a more readable format.
