Improper Fraction to Mixed Number

Find Improper Fraction to Mixed Number of `(30)/(20)`
Solution: `30/20=(30 -: 10)/(20 -: 10)=3/2=1 (1)/(2)`
Step by step solution : Find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of `30` and `20`, and reduce the fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by GCF = 10
`=(30 -: 10)/(20 -: 10)=3/2`
First Divide the numerator (`3`) by the denominator (`2`)
`3 -: color{red}{2} = color{green}{1}` with remainder of `color{blue}{1}`
The mixed number can be created by using the quotient `color{green}{1}` as the whole number, the remainder `color{blue}{1}` as the numerator and the `color{red}{2}` as the denominator.
So `30/20 = color{green}{1} (color{blue}{1})/(color{red}{2})`

Find Fraction to decimal of `(30)/(20)`
Solution: `30/20 = (10 × 3)/(10 × 2) = (3)/(2) = 1.5`
Or using division of 2 numbers
| | 1 | .5 | 20 | 3 | 0 | .0 | − | 2 | 0 | | = 20 × 1 | | 1 | 0 | 0 | | − | 1 | 0 | 0 | = 20 × 5 | | | | 0 | |
| | 20 table | 20 | × | 1 | = | 20 | 20 | × | 2 | = | 40 | 20 | × | 3 | = | 60 | 20 | × | 4 | = | 80 | 20 | × | 5 | = | 100 | 20 | × | 6 | = | 120 | 20 | × | 7 | = | 140 | 20 | × | 8 | = | 160 | 20 | × | 9 | = | 180 | 20 | × | 10 | = | 200 |

Mixed Number to Improper Fraction
|
1. Find Mixed Number to Improper Fraction of `3 (4)/(5)`
Solution: `3 (4)/(5) = ((3 xx 5) + 4)/5 = (15 + 4)/5 = 19/5`
Step by step solution : Step 1 : Multiply the denominator by the whole number `3 xx 5 = 15`
Step 2 : Now Add the answer to the numerator `15 + 4 = 19`
Step 3 : Now Write answer over the denominator `=19/5`

Compare Two Fraction
|
3. Compare two fractions `(3)/(4)` and `(5)/(6)`
Solution: Step-1 : Find the LCD of denominators Here, LCD of 4 and 6 = 12
Step-2 : Convert each fraction into its equivalent with the LCD in the denominator For `3/4`, multiply numerator and denominator by 3 to have LCD = 12 in the denominator.
`3/4 = 3/4 xx 3/3 = 9/12`
For `5/6`, multiply numerator and denominator by 2 to have LCD = 12 in the denominator.
`5/6 = 5/6 xx 2/2 = 10/12`
Step-3 : Compare fractions: If denominators are the same, we can compare the numerators. Here 9 < 10, `:. 9/12 < 10/12`
So, we conclude `3/4 < 5/6`

Ascending and descending order of fractions
|
1. Arrange the fractions `1/2,3/4,5/6` in Ascending order
Solution: Step-1 : Find the LCD of denominators Here, LCD of 2, 4, 6 = 12
Step-2 : Convert each fraction into its equivalent with the LCD in the denominator For `1/2`, multiply numerator and denominator by 6 to have LCD = 12 in the denominator.
`1/2 = 1/2 xx 6/6 = 6/12`
For `3/4`, multiply numerator and denominator by 3 to have LCD = 12 in the denominator.
`3/4 = 3/4 xx 3/3 = 9/12`
For `5/6`, multiply numerator and denominator by 2 to have LCD = 12 in the denominator.
`5/6 = 5/6 xx 2/2 = 10/12`
Step-3 : Arrange fractions: If denominators are the same, then we can arrange the numerators. Here 6 < 9 < 10 `:. 6/12 < 9/12 < 10/12 `
So, we conclude `1/2< 3/4< 5/6`
