Fractions<br />
For example: Write 3 different fractional names for 1.<br />
• 1 = 1<br />
1<br />
• 1 = 2<br />
2<br />
• 1 = 3<br />
3<br />
• 1 can be<br />
1 can be 6/6, because the bottom number (or the denominator) 6 tells us that the<br />
whole is divided into 6 parts. The top number (or the numerator) 6 tells us how<br />
many parts are there. If you divide a whole into 6 parts and all 6 parts are there,<br />
then you still have one whole or 1. 6/6 = 1<br />
Renaming Equivalent Fractions<br />
To rename an equivalent fraction is to change the form (the numbers) without<br />
changing the value. You can raise fractions to higher terms.<br />
For example: Write the fraction 2/5 in higher terms. Remember you can multiply<br />
by any form of one.<br />
2/5 and 6/15 and 8/20 are all<br />
equivalent fractions.<br />
