Whole Set Fraction

This article is about whole set fraction. Whole set fraction is nothing but it is about the set of fractions. A fraction is a number that can be represented by an ordered pair of whole numbers `a/b` where `b!= 0`. Here a is represented as numerator and b as denominator. The tutors in tutor vista are always ready to help the students in any topics like whole set fraction. The online tutors help students in online. Tutor vista is the best tutoring website where many students follow this. Below we can see about the whole set of fraction.

whole set fractions

In set notation, the set of fractions is

F ={ `a/b` where a and b are whole numbers,  b` !=` 0 }

Two fractions that represent the same relative amount are termed to be equivalent fractions.

Proper Fraction:

When the numerator is less than the denominator then those fractions are called as Proper fraction.

Example: `2/3 `

Improper fraction:

When the numerator is greater than the denominator then this fraction is called as Improper fraction

Example: `7/5`

All the integers are simply a improper fraction

Example

3 is nothing but `3 / 1` which is an improper fraction

Mixed fraction:

Mixed fraction is a whole number with proper fraction

Example:  2 `1/3`

whole set fractions

Example 1:

Add `5/3`  + ` 8/3`

Here both the denominator is same

Add numerator alone.

`(5+8)/3`

`13/3`

Adding improper fraction with different denominator

Example 2:

Add `5/2`  + `4/3`

Here find LCM and solve to make the denominator equal

LCM of 2 and 3 is 6

`(5xx3)/ (2xx3) = 15/6`

`(4xx2)/ (3xx2) = 8/6`

So `(15+8)/6 = 23/6`

whole set fractions

Example 3: Add `3/11` +`6/11`

Solution

Here the denominators are same. So just add the numerator alone

` (3+6)/11`

`9/11` is the answer.

Example 4: Subtract `8/9` – `4/9`

Solution

Here the denominators are same. So just subtract the numerator alone.

`(8 - 4)/9`

`4/9`

Example 5: Multiply` 3/5` x `3/ 4 `

Solution

`3 / 5 ` x `3 / 4`

`(3xx3)/(5xx4) `

= `9 / 20 `
