Pattern Block Fractions

Introduction :

Fraction is one of a part in math numerical values. A fraction number is an integer value. Fraction number is a one branch of the whole number value in decimals.  A Fraction number is consisting of a two parts. That is numerator value and denominator value. In online few websites are providing fraction pattern tutoring. In this article we shall discuss the pattern block fractions. I like to share this Types of Fractions with you all through my article.

Types of Pattern Block Fractions:

Proper Fractions:

In proper fractions having numerator value is less than the denominator value is called as proper fractions.

Example: `5/9` and `6/13`

Improper Fractions:

In improper fractions having numerator value is larger than or equal to their denominators value is called as improper fractions.

Example:  `6/5` and `9/7`

Mixed Fractions:

In mixed fraction Numbers having a two part, which is a whole number part and a fractional part is called as mixed numbers.

Example: `3(2/5)` and `4(1/3)`

Decimal Fractions:

In decimal fraction number having denominator value as 10, 100 or 1000 or any other higher power of 10 is called as decimal fractions.

Example: `7/10` and `65/100`

Simple Fractions:

In simple fraction number having both the numerator and denominator as whole numbers are called simple fractions.
Example: `4/5` , `12/95` .

Sample Problem for Pattern Block Fractions:

Pattern block fraction problem 1:

Evaluate the value of given fraction numbers `(7)/(9)` + `(5)/(9)`

Solution:

In the proper fraction number a denominator values are same. So we are directly add or subtract the numerator values.

Step 1: In the given problem denominator values are same.

Step 2: Add the numerator values of given numbers, we get.

`(7)/(9)` + `(5)/(9)` = `(7 + 5)/(9)`

=`(12)/(9)`

Step 3: Now we are simplify the fraction values.

= `(4)/(3)`

Pattern block fraction problem 2:

Evaluate the value of given fraction numbers`(9)/(11)` + `(8)/(11)`

Solution:

In the proper fraction number a denominator values are same. So we are directly add or subtract the numerator value.

Step 1: In the given problem denominator values are same.

Step 2: Add the numerator values of the given numbers, we get.

`(9)/(11)` + `(8)/(11)` = `(9+8)/(11)`

=  `(17)/(11)`
