A Note About Instructions
Certain words are used in math textbooks and by teachers to provide students with instructions on what to do with a given problem. For example, you may see instructions such as find or simplify. It is important to understand what these words mean so you can successfully work through the problems in this course. Here is a short list of some problem instructions along with their descriptions as they will be used in this module.Instruction | Interpretation |
---|---|
Find | Perform the indicated mathematical operations which may include addition, subtraction, multiplication, division (later, use of the word find will be expanded to solving equations, as in find the value of variable). |
Simplify | 1) Perform the indicated mathematical operations including addition, subtraction, multiplication, division 2) Write a mathematical statement in smallest terms so there are no other mathematical operations that can be performed—often found in problems related to fractions and the order of operations |
Evaluate | 1) Perform the indicated mathematical operations including addition, subtraction, multiplication, division 2) Substitute a given value for a variable in an expression and then perform the indicated mathematical operations |
Reduce | Write a mathematical statement in smallest or lowest terms so there are no other mathematical operations that can be performed—often found in problems related to fractions or division |
Add Fractions
When you need to add or subtract fractions, you will need to first make sure that the fractions have the same denominator. The denominator tells you how many pieces the whole has been broken into, and the numerator tells you how many of those pieces you are using. The “parts of a whole” concept can be modeled with pizzas and pizza slices. For example, imagine a pizza is cut into [latex]4[/latex] pieces, and someone takes [latex]1[/latex] piece. Now, [latex]\Large\frac{1}{4}[/latex] of the pizza is gone and [latex]\Large\frac{3}{4}[/latex] remains. Note that both of these fractions have a denominator of [latex]4[/latex], which refers to the number of slices the whole pizza has been cut into. What if you have another pizza that had been cut into [latex]8[/latex] equal parts and [latex]3[/latex] of those parts were gone, leaving [latex]\Large\frac{5}{8}[/latex]? How can you describe the total amount of pizza that is left with one number rather than two different fractions? You need a common denominator, technically called the least common multiple. Remember that if a number is a multiple of another, you can divide them and have no remainder. One way to find the least common multiple of two or more numbers is to first multiply each by [latex]1, 2, 3, 4[/latex], etc. For example, find the least common multiple of [latex]2[/latex] and [latex]5[/latex].First, list all the multiples of [latex]2[/latex]: | Then list all the multiples of 5: |
[latex]2\cdot 1 = 2[/latex] | [latex]5\cdot 1 = 5[/latex] |
[latex]2\cdot 2 = 4[/latex] | [latex]5\cdot 2 = 10[/latex] |
[latex]2\cdot 3 = 6[/latex] | [latex]5\cdot 3 = 15[/latex] |
[latex]2\cdot 4 = 8[/latex] | [latex]5\cdot 4 = 20[/latex] |
[latex]2\cdot 5 = 10[/latex] | [latex]5\cdot 5 = 25[/latex] |
Example
One pizza, cut into four slices, has one missing. Another pizza of the same size has been cut into eight pieces, of which three have been removed. Describe the total amount of pizza left in the two pizzas using common terms.Answer: Rewrite the fractions [latex]\dfrac{3}{4}[/latex] and [latex]\dfrac{5}{8}[/latex] as fractions with a least common denominator. Find the least common multiple of the denominators. This is the least common denominator. Multiples of [latex]4: 4, \textbf{8},12,16, \textbf{24}[/latex] Multiples of [latex]8: \textbf{8},16, \textbf{24}[/latex] The least common denominator is [latex]8[/latex]—the smallest multiple they have in common. Rewrite [latex]\dfrac{3}{4}[/latex] with a denominator of [latex]8[/latex]. You have to multiply both the top and bottom by [latex]2[/latex] so you don't change the relationship between them.
[latex]\dfrac{3}{4}\cdot\dfrac{2}{2}=\dfrac{6}{8}[/latex]
We don't need to rewrite [latex]\dfrac{5}{8}[/latex] since it already has the common denominator.Answer
Both [latex]\dfrac{6}{8}[/latex] and [latex]\dfrac{5}{8}[/latex] have the same denominator, and you can describe how much pizza is left with common terms. Add the numerators and put them over the common denominator. We have [latex]\dfrac{6}{8}[/latex] of the first pizza and [latex]\dfrac{5}{8}[/latex] of the second pizza left. That's [latex]\dfrac{11}{8}[/latex] of an identically sized pizza, or [latex]1[/latex] and [latex]\dfrac{3}{8}[/latex], pizza still on the table.Adding Fractions with Unlike Denominators
- Find a common denominator.
- Rewrite each fraction as an equivalent fraction using the common denominator.
- Now that the fractions have a common denominator, you can add the numerators.
- Simplify by canceling out all common factors in the numerator and denominator.
Simplify a Fraction
It is a common convention in mathematics to present fractions in lowest terms. We call this practice simplifying or reducing the fraction, and it can be accomplished by canceling (dividing) the common factors in a fraction's numerator and denominator. We can do this because a fraction represents division, and for any number [latex]a[/latex], [latex]\dfrac{a}{a}=1[/latex]. For example, to simplify [latex]\dfrac{6}{9}[/latex] you can rewrite [latex]6[/latex]and [latex]9[/latex] using the smallest factors possible as follows:[latex]\dfrac{6}{9}=\dfrac{2\cdot3}{3\cdot3}[/latex]
Since there is a [latex]3[/latex] in both the numerator and denominator, and fractions can be considered division, we can divide the [latex]3[/latex] in the top by the [latex]3[/latex] in the bottom to reduce to [latex]1[/latex].[latex]\dfrac{6}{9}=\dfrac{2\cdot\cancel{3}}{3\cdot\cancel{3}}=\dfrac{2\cdot1}{3}=\dfrac{2}{3}[/latex]
In the next example you are shown how to add two fractions with different denominators, then simplify the answer.Example

Multiples of [latex]7: 7, 14, \textbf{21}[/latex] Multiples of [latex]21:\textbf{21}[/latex] Rewrite each fraction with a denominator of [latex]21[/latex].
[latex]\begin{array}{c}\Large\frac{3}{7}\cdot\Large\frac{3}{3}=\Large\frac{9}{21}\\\\\Large\frac{2}{21}\end{array}[/latex]

Subtracting fractions follows the same technique as adding them. First, determine whether or not the denominators are alike. If not, rewrite each fraction as an equivalent fraction, all having the same denominator. Below are some examples of subtracting fractions whose denominators are not alike.Example
Subtract [latex]\Large\frac{1}{5}-\Large\frac{1}{6}[/latex]. Simplify the answer.Answer: The fractions have unlike denominators, so you need to find a common denominator. Recall that a common denominator can be found by multiplying the two denominators together.

Answer
[latex-display]\Large\frac{5}{6}-\Large\frac{1}{4}=\Large\frac{7}{12}[/latex-display]Multiply Fractions
Just as you add, subtract, multiply, and divide when working with whole numbers, you also use these operations when working with fractions. There are many times when it is necessary to multiply fractions. A model may help you understand multiplication of fractions. When you multiply a fraction by a fraction, you are finding a “fraction of a fraction.” Suppose you have [latex]\Large\frac{3}{4}[/latex] of a candy bar and you want to find [latex]\Large\frac{1}{2}[/latex] of the [latex]\Large\frac{3}{4}[/latex]: By dividing each fourth in half, you can divide the candy bar into eighths. Then, choose half of those to get [latex]\Large\frac{3}{8}[/latex]. In both of the above cases, to find the answer, you can multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.Multiplying Two Fractions
[latex-display]\Large\frac{a}{b}\cdot\Large\frac{c}{d}=\Large\frac{a\cdot c}{b\cdot d}=\Large\frac{\text{product of the numerators}}{\text{product of the denominators}}[/latex-display]Multiplying More Than Two Fractions
[latex-display]\Large\frac{a}{b}\cdot\Large\frac{c}{d}\cdot\Large\frac{e}{f}=\Large\frac{a\cdot c\cdot e}{b\cdot d\cdot f}[/latex-display]Example
Multiply [latex]\Large\frac{2}{3}\cdot\Large\frac{4}{5}[/latex]Answer: Multiply the numerators and multiply the denominators.
[latex]\Large\frac{2\cdot 4}{3\cdot 5}[/latex]
Simplify, if possible. This fraction is already in lowest terms.[latex]\Large\frac{8}{15}[/latex]
Answer
[latex-display]\Large\frac{8}{15}[/latex-display]- Given [latex]\Large\frac{8}{15}[/latex], the factors of [latex]8[/latex] are: [latex]1, 2, 4, 8[/latex] and the factors of [latex]15[/latex] are: [latex]1, 3, 5, 15[/latex]. [latex]\Large\frac{8}{15}[/latex] is simplified because there are no common factors of [latex]8[/latex] and [latex]15[/latex].
- Given [latex]\Large\frac{10}{15}[/latex], the factors of [latex]10[/latex] are: [latex]1, 2, 5, 10[/latex] and the factors of [latex]15[/latex] are: [latex]1, 3, 5, 15[/latex]. [latex]\Large\frac{10}{15}[/latex] is not simplified because [latex]5[/latex] is a common factor of [latex]10[/latex] and [latex]15[/latex].

Multiply [latex]\Large\frac{2}{3}\cdot\Large\frac{1}{4}\cdot\Large\frac{3}{5}[/latex]. Simplify the answer. What makes this example different than the previous ones? Use the box below to write down a few thoughts about how you would multiply three fractions together. [practice-area rows="2"][/practice-area]Answer: Multiply the numerators and multiply the denominators.
[latex]\Large\frac{2\cdot 1\cdot 3}{3\cdot 4\cdot 5}[/latex]
Simplify first by canceling (dividing) the common factors of [latex]3[/latex] and [latex]2[/latex]. [latex]3[/latex] divided by [latex]3[/latex] is [latex]1[/latex], and [latex]2[/latex] divided by [latex]2[/latex] is [latex]1[/latex].[latex]\begin{array}{c}\Large\frac{2\cdot 1\cdot3}{3\cdot (2\cdot 2)\cdot 5}\\\Large\frac{\cancel{2}\cdot 1\cdot\cancel{3}}{\cancel{3}\cdot (\cancel{2}\cdot 2)\cdot 5}\\\Large\frac{1}{10}\end{array}[/latex]
Answer
[latex-display]\Large\frac{2}{3}\cdot\Large\frac{1}{4}\cdot\Large\frac{3}{5}[/latex] = [latex]\Large\frac{1}{10}[/latex-display]Divide Fractions
There are times when you need to use division to solve a problem. For example, if painting one coat of paint on the walls of a room requires [latex]3[/latex] quarts of paint and you have a bucket that contains [latex]6[/latex] quarts of paint, how many coats of paint can you paint on the walls? You divide [latex]6[/latex] by [latex]3[/latex] for an answer of [latex]2[/latex] coats. There will also be times when you need to divide by a fraction. Suppose painting a closet with one coat only required [latex]\Large\frac{1}{2}[/latex] quart of paint. How many coats could be painted with the 6 quarts of paint? To find the answer, you need to divide [latex]2[/latex] by the fraction, [latex]\Large\frac{1}{2}[/latex]. Before we begin dividing fractions, let's cover some important terminology.- reciprocal: two fractions are reciprocals if their product is [latex]1[/latex] (Don't worry; we will show you examples of what this means.)
- quotient: the result of division
Original number | Reciprocal | Product |
---|---|---|
[latex]\Large\frac{3}{4}[/latex] | [latex]\Large\frac{4}{3}[/latex] | [latex]\Large\frac{3}{4}\cdot\Large\frac{4}{3}=\Large\frac{3\cdot 4}{4\cdot 3}=\Large\frac{12}{12}=1[/latex] |
[latex]\Large\frac{1}{2}[/latex] | [latex]\Large\frac{2}{1}[/latex] | [latex]\Large\frac{1}{2}\cdot\Large\frac{2}{1}=\Large\frac{1\cdot2}{2\cdot1}=\Large\frac{2}{2}=1[/latex] |
[latex] 3=\Large\frac{3}{1}[/latex] | [latex]\Large\frac{1}{3}[/latex] | [latex]\Large\frac{3}{1}\cdot\Large\frac{1}{3}=\Large\frac{3\cdot 1}{1\cdot 3}=\Large\frac{3}{3}=1[/latex] |
[latex]2\Large\frac{1}{3}=\Large\frac{7}{3}[/latex] | [latex]\Large\frac{3}{7}[/latex] | [latex]\Large\frac{7}{3}\cdot\Large\frac{3}{7}=\Large\frac{7\cdot3}{3\cdot7}=\Large\frac{21}{21}=\normalsize 1[/latex] |
Division by Zero
You know what it means to divide by [latex]2[/latex] or divide by [latex]10[/latex], but what does it mean to divide a quantity by [latex]0[/latex]? Is this even possible? Can you divide [latex]0[/latex] by a number? Consider the fraction[latex]\Large\frac{0}{8}[/latex]
We can read it as, “zero divided by eight.” Since multiplication is the inverse of division, we could rewrite this as a multiplication problem.[latex]\text{?}\cdot{8}=0[/latex].
We can infer that the unknown must be [latex]0[/latex] since that is the only number that will give a result of [latex]0[/latex] when it is multiplied by [latex]8[/latex].
Now let’s consider the reciprocal of [latex]\Large\frac{0}{8}[/latex] which would be [latex]\Large\frac{8}{0}[/latex]. If we rewrite this as a multiplication problem, we will have[latex]\text{?}\cdot{0}=8[/latex].
This doesn't make any sense. There are no numbers that you can multiply by zero to get a result of 8. The reciprocal of [latex]\Large\frac{8}{0}[/latex] is undefined, and in fact, all division by zero is undefined.Divide a Fraction by a Whole Number
When you divide by a whole number, you are multiplying by the reciprocal. In the painting example where you need [latex]3[/latex] quarts of paint for a coat and have [latex]6[/latex] quarts of paint, you can find the total number of coats that can be painted by dividing [latex]6[/latex] by [latex]3[/latex], [latex]6\div3=2[/latex]. You can also multiply [latex]6[/latex] by the reciprocal of [latex]3[/latex], which is [latex]\Large\frac{1}{3}[/latex], so the multiplication problem becomes[latex]\Large\frac{6}{1}\cdot\Large\frac{1}{3}=\Large\frac{6}{3}=\normalsize2[/latex]
Dividing is Multiplying by the Reciprocal
For all division, you can turn the operation into multiplication by using the reciprocal. Dividing is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal.[latex]\Large\frac{1}{5}\normalsize\text{ of }\Large\frac{3}{4}=\Large\frac{1}{5}\cdot\Large\frac{3}{4}=\Large\frac{3}{20}[/latex]
Each person gets [latex]\Large\frac{3}{20}[/latex] of a whole candy bar.
If you have a recipe that needs to be divided in half, you can divide each ingredient by [latex]2[/latex], or you can multiply each ingredient by [latex]\Large\frac{1}{2}[/latex] to find the new amount. For example, dividing by [latex]6[/latex] is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal of [latex]6[/latex], which is [latex]\Large\frac{1}{6}[/latex]. Look at the diagram of two pizzas below. How can you divide what is left (the red shaded region) among [latex]6[/latex] people fairly? Each person gets one piece, so each person gets [latex]\Large\frac{1}{4}[/latex] of a pizza. Dividing a fraction by a whole number is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal, so you can always use multiplication of fractions to solve division problems.Example
Find [latex]\Large\frac{2}{3}\div \normalsize 4[/latex]Answer: Write your answer in lowest terms. Dividing by [latex]4[/latex] or [latex]\Large\frac{4}{1}[/latex] is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal of [latex]4[/latex], which is [latex]\Large\frac{1}{4}[/latex].
[latex]\Large\frac{2}{3}\normalsize\div 4=\Large\frac{2}{3}\cdot\Large\frac{1}{4}[/latex]
Multiply numerators and multiply denominators.[latex]\Large\frac{2\cdot 1}{3\cdot 4}=\Large\frac{2}{12}[/latex]
Simplify to lowest terms by dividing numerator and denominator by the common factor [latex]4[/latex].[latex]\Large\frac{1}{6}[/latex]
Answer
[latex-display]\Large\frac{2}{3}\normalsize\div4=\Large\frac{1}{6}[/latex-display]Example
Divide. [latex] 9\div\Large\frac{1}{2}[/latex]Answer: Write your answer in lowest terms. Dividing by [latex]\Large\frac{1}{2}[/latex] is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal of [latex]\Large\frac{1}{2}[/latex], which is [latex]\Large\frac{2}{1}[/latex].
[latex]9\div\Large\frac{1}{2}=\Large\frac{9}{1}\cdot\Large\frac{2}{1}[/latex]
Multiply numerators and multiply denominators.[latex]\Large\frac{9\cdot 2}{1\cdot 1}=\Large\frac{18}{1}=\normalsize 18[/latex]
This answer is already simplified to lowest terms.Answer
[latex-display]9\div\Large\frac{1}{2}=\normalsize 18[/latex-display]Divide a Fraction by a Fraction
Sometimes you need to solve a problem that requires dividing by a fraction. Suppose you have a pizza that is already cut into [latex]4[/latex] slices. How many [latex]\Large\frac{1}{2}[/latex] slices are there?Dividing with Fractions
