►NUMERATORNUMERATOR – Top digit of a fraction – Top digit of a fraction►DENOMINATORDENOMINATOR – Bottom digit of a fraction – Bottom digit of a fraction► EQUIVALENT FRACTIONSEQUIVALENT FRACTIONS - are fractions - are fractions
that have the same value that have the same value ►MIXED FRACTIONMIXED FRACTION - is a whole number plus - is a whole number plus
a fractiona fraction► IMPROPER FRACTIONSIMPROPER FRACTIONS - have the - have the

EQUIVALENT FRACTIONSEQUIVALENT FRACTIONS
►We can determine if fractions are We can determine if fractions are equivalent by multiplying the equivalent by multiplying the numerator and denominator by the numerator and denominator by the same number same number

► TO CALCULATE THE NUMERATOR when TO CALCULATE THE NUMERATOR when converting mixed to improper fractions:converting mixed to improper fractions:
► 1) Multiply the whole number of the mixed 1) Multiply the whole number of the mixed fraction by the denominatorfraction by the denominator
► 2) Add on the numerator of the fraction 2) Add on the numerator of the fraction partpart
