Add, subtract, multiply, and divide fractions with step-by-step solutions and visual representations
Fractions represent parts of a whole. The top number (numerator) shows how many parts you have, while the bottom number (denominator) shows how many parts make up the whole.
Always reduce fractions to their simplest form by dividing both numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor.
For addition and subtraction, convert fractions to have the same denominator using the least common multiple.
Convert your final answer to a decimal to verify it makes sense in the context of the problem.
Pie charts and bar models can help you understand fraction operations and verify your answers.
