Whole Numbers, Fractions, and Decimal Problems
Whole Numbers
Whole numbers are integers that are greater than or equal to zero (0, 1, 2, 3, ...).
They do not include decimal or fractional parts.
Operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division can be performed on whole numbers.
Example:
Add: 6 + 3 = 9
Fractions
Fractions represent parts of a whole and consist of a numerator (top number) and a denominator (bottom number).
Fractions can be added, subtracted, multiplied, and divided.
Simplifying fractions involves reducing them to their simplest form by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor.
Example:
Add: 1/2 + 1/4 = 2/4 + 1/4 = 3/4
Decimals
- Decimals are numbers that include a decimal point and can represent parts of a whole or a decimal fraction.
