Operations
Rational Numbers

• The term, Rational Numbers, refers to any


number that can be written as a fraction.
• This includes fractions that are reduced,
fractions that can be reduced, mixed numbers,
improper fractions, and even integers and
whole numbers.
• An integer, like 4, can be written as a fraction by
putting the number 1 under it.
Simplifying Fractions
• Simplifying fractions by dividing the
numerator (top number) and denominator
(bottom number) by the same value.
• Repeat this until there are no more
numbers that divide into both the
numerator & denominator.

• Example:

• Example:

• Example:

(Rewrite mixed numbers as improper


fractions before you simplify.)

• Example:

(If after you divide, the fraction can still be


simplified, keep going.)
Adding Rational Numbers
• First they must have a common denominator.
• Next, look at the signs. If they have the
same signs you add the absolute values and
keep the sign.
• If they have different signs subtract the
absolute values keep the sign of the larger
absolute value.

Getting a Common
Denominator
• Use this formula to get two fractions to
have a common denominator:

Common Denominator = 3•5=15.

Simplify if possible.
