Intended Learning
Outcomes
After studying this unit, you are expected to:

Perform the mathematical operations on


fractions; and

Solve problems involving fractions with


application to your field of specialization.
01 ADDITION OF
FRACTIONS
Lesson 1. ADDITION OF
FRACTIONS
To add fractions having the same denominator,
add their numerators and place the sum over
the common denominator.

Thus, + + means 3 eights + 5 eights + 7


eights = 15 eights = = 1

FRACTIONS WITH DIFFERENT
DENOMINATORS

To add fractions with different


denominators, such as + + , first
change the given fractions to
equivalent fractions having a common
denominator. Then add the fractions by
adding the numerators and placing the
sum over the common denominator.

Lesson 2. SUBTRACTION OF
FRACTIONS
To subtract two fractions, you must have a common denominator. The procedure is much
like adding fractions, except that the numerators are subtracted and the difference is
placed over the common denominator.
SUBTRACTION OF MIXED
NUMBERS
To subtract two mixed numbers, you must use common denominators. Subtract the
fractional parts first and the whole number parts second. It may be necessary to borrow a 1
from the greater whole number and add it to the fractional part so the fractions can be
subtracted. Usually, the minuend is the larger number in a subtraction problem and the
subtrahend is the smaller number. The answer is called the difference.
Lesson 3. MULTIPLICATION OF
FRACTIONS
To multiply two or more fractions, multiply the numerators and use that answer as the new
numerator; then multiply the denominators and use that answer as the new denominator.
It is not necessary to find common denominators when multiplying fractions. The product
should be expressed in lowest terms.

The product of two or more fractions is


RUL the product of the numerators over the
product of the denominators.

Lesson 4. DIVISION OF
FRACTIONS
To divide one fraction by another, multiply the dividend (the
number to be divided) by the reciprocal of the divisor. The
reciprocal of a fraction is formed by using the numerator of
the original fraction as the denominator and by using the
denominator of the original fraction as the numerator
(inverting the fraction). For instance, the reciprocal of is .
