Explain fractions and their types with examples.
Fractions:
Proper fractions are those fractions where the numerators are smaller than the denominators.
Example: $\frac{5}{6}$, $\frac{3}{11}$, $\frac{2}{9}$, and so on are proper fractions
Improper fractions are those fractions where the numerators are greater than the denominators.
Example: $\frac{6}{5}$, $\frac{10}{3}$, $\frac{15}{9}$, and so on are improper fractions
Mixed fractions are those fractions where there is a whole number part and a proper fraction part.
Example: 1 $\frac{1}{2}$, 3 $\frac{1}{3}$ and so on are mixed fractions
Improper fractions can be converted into Mixed fractions and
Example: $\frac{9}{4}$ = 2 $\frac{1}{4}$; $\frac{11}{5}$ = 2 $\frac{1}{5}$ and so on
Mixed fractions can be converted into improper fractions
Example: 4 $\frac{1}{3}$ = (4x3+1)/3 = $\frac{13}{3}$
Like fractions are those fractions with the same denominators and
Eg: $\frac{1}{2}$, $\frac{3}{2}$ are like fractions
Unlike fractions are those fractions with different denominators
Eg; $\frac{1}{2}$, $\frac{1}{3}$, $\frac{3}{4}$are unlike fractions
Unlike fractions can be converted into Like fractions and vice versa
