In I/GCSE Mathematics, fractions plays an important part in the syllabus. Let's figure it out now!

Fractions

  • Fractions can be illustrated by dividing a shape into equal parts, and shading a certain number of these parts.
  • The bottom number is the number of equal parts that diagram has been cut into, and the top number is the number of equal parts that has been shaded.

Equivalent fractions

  • When writing equivalent fractions, do the same multiplication or division to the top and bottom numbers.
  • For example, if you multiply the top by 2, you must also multiply the bottom by 2.
  • More detailed examples are given below!!

Improper fractions

That's all for the basic fractions.
