Sixth Grade Math Fractions

Introduction

A fraction is a number that can represent part of a whole. The earliest fractions were reciprocals of integers: ancient symbols representing one part of two, one part of three, one part of four, and so on. A much later development were the common or "vulgar" fractions which are still used today (½, ?, ¾, etc.) and which consist of a numerator and a denominator, the numerator representing a number of equal parts and the denominator telling how many of those parts make up a whole.

Sixth grade math problem 1

Add the two fractions `2/3` and `5/3`

Solution:

The given two fractions `2/3` and `5/3`

=`2/3` +`5/3`

Add above the fraction `2/3` and `5/3`

= `(2+5)/3`

We get

=`7/3`

This can be simplified has

=2.33

Answer of the two fraction = `7/3` or 2.33

Sixth grade math problem 2

Add the two fractions `12/3` and `15/3`

Solution:

The given two fractions `12/3` and `15/3`

=`12/3` +`15/3`

Add above the fraction `2/3` and `5/3`

= `(12+15)/3`

We get

=`27/3`

This can be simplified has

=9
