  20. Revision Proper fractions: A proper fraction is a fraction whose numerator value is less than that of the denominator. Improper fractions: An improper fraction (sometimes called a top-heavy fraction) has its numerator more than its denominator. Mixed Fraction/ Mixed Number: A mixed number is made up of a whole number and a proper fraction. Like Fractions: When two fractions have the same denominator, then they are said to be like fractions. Unlike fractions: When two fractions have different denominators, then they are said to be unlike fractions.
  21. Revision Changing a mixed number to an improper fraction and vice versa Step-I: Multiply the whole number by denominator. Step-2: Add the numerator to the result of step 1. Step-3: Write the result of step 2 as the numerator on top of the same denominator, i.e., original divisor (denominator) will be the new denominator. To convert the improper fraction to mixed fraction, follow the steps given below: Step-I: Divide the numerator by denominator. Step-2: Now, write down the quotient as the whole number part. Step-3: Write the remainder as the numerator on top of the same denominator, i.e., original divisor (denominator) will be the new denominator.
  22. Revision To simplify a fraction, we divide the numerator (the top of the fraction) and the denominator (the bottom of the fraction) by the same amount, until we can't simplify anymore. This form of fraction is called its simplest form. Another way of saying 'simplest form' is 'lowest terms'.
  23. Revision A recurring decimal is any number with a repeated digit or section of repeated digits after a decimal point. We show this with a dot above both the start and the end of the repeated section. Converting recurring decimals as fractions: Write out the first few decimal places to show the recurring pattern and then: 1. 2. 3. 4. Write the recurring decimal x = Multiply both sides by 10 repeatedly until two lines have the same recurring decimal part (in order). Subtract those two lines DIVIDE both sides to get x = (and cancel if necessary to get fraction in lowest terms)
