Fraction Rules

Fractions represent parts of a whole. A fraction consists of a numerator (top number) and a denominator (bottom number).

  • Adding/Subtracting: Requires a common denominator. The "Butterfly Method" is a common shortcut (multiply diagonals).
  • Multiplying: The easiest operation—just multiply straight across.
  • Dividing: "Keep, Change, Flip." Keep the first fraction, change division to multiplication, flip the second fraction.
