RBSE Class 6 Maths Chapter 7 Notes Fractions

→ Fraction is a number that represent part of a whole unit all. Whole can be only one object or can also be group of objects.

→ In any case, to express counted parts of a unit into fraction, it is necessary that all parts must be equal.

→ In fraction \(\frac{5}{12}\), 5 is numerator and 12 is denominator.

→ Fraction can be represented on number line. There is a fixed point on number line for each fraction.

→ In a proper fraction, numerator is smaller than denominator and in improper fraction numerator is always greater than denominator.

→ Improper fraction can also be written as whole units and one part. In this case, it is called mixed fraction.

→ Conversion of improper fraction into mixed fraction:

• divide numerator by denominator.
• quotient is whole part of mixed fraction.
• put the remainder as numerator of fractional part.

→ Conversion of mixed fractions into improper fractions :

• multiply the denominator of fraction by a whole number.
• add the result to the numerator of proper fraction.
• Write the fraction having numerator equal to the number obtained in above step.

→ Two fractions are called like fractions if both of these represent same quantity. There are many like fractions of each proper or improper fraction.

→ To find out a like or equivalent fraction, we can multiply or divide numerator and denominator both with non-zero number.

→ Simple form of a fraction is that, when its numerator and denominator both does not have any common factor except 1.

→ Fractions having different denominators are called unlike fraction.

→ If denominator are same then we add numerators only and the denominator is same in the result.

→ If denominators are same then we subtract the numerators only with same denominator.
