1) A mixed number has a whole number part and a fractional part, while an improper fraction has a numerator larger than the denominator. 2) To change between mixed numbers and improper fractions, you can multiply or divide the whole number by the denominator and add or subtract the numerator. 3) When adding, subtracting, multiplying or dividing fractions, you often need a common denominator or need to use reciprocals.

1. Mixed Number A mixed number has a part that is a whole number and a part that is a fraction. = 1 3 4 #1 An improper fraction is when the numerator is greater than the denominator. Improper Fraction 1/4 1/4 1/4 1/4 1/4 1/4 1/4 1/4 8 4 = numerator denominator

19. Multiplying Decimals Steps for Multiplying Decimals Step 1: Write the problem vertically. Step 2: Ignore the decimal point(s) and multiply. Step 3: Determine where the decimal point goes in the product. Place the decimal point in the answer by counting how many places the decimal point has moved. #19

20. Divide 3  1) Draw a picture to show 3 wholes. 2) How many ’s fit into 3 wholes? There are 12 one-fourths that fit into 3. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 #20

21. Reciprocals = Example: - - X 2 2 5 5 - = 1 10 10 To find the reciprocal just flip the fraction over. #21 Two numbers are reciprocals if their product is one. Change your mixed number to an improper fraction to find the reciprocal. 5 2 3 x + = 17 3 3 17

22. Dividing Fractions Example: 5 - 6 - 2 - . . 3 = - 5 6 X - 3 2 = 1 2 - 5 4 = 1 - 1 4 . To divide fractions, multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. #22
