The document provides a fraction cheat sheet with instructions for performing various operations with fractions:
1) Converting an improper fraction to a mixed number by dividing the numerator by the denominator and using the remainder as the new numerator.
2) Converting a mixed number to an improper fraction by multiplying the denominator by the whole number and adding the numerator.
3) Adding fractions by finding a common denominator and adding the numerators.
4) Subtracting fractions by finding a common denominator and subtracting the numerators, borrowing from the whole number if needed.

The Fraction Cheat Sheet MacLean Math 8
1. Converting an improper fraction into a mixed number. Remember!
- Divide the numerator by the denominator. The remainder becomes the new numerator. 𝑁𝑢𝑚𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑜𝑟 17 2 Ex. = 3 𝐷𝑒𝑛𝑜𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑡𝑜𝑟 5 5
2. Converting a mixed number into an improper fraction.
- Use the checkmark method, multiply the denominator by the whole number and add the numerator.
5 17 Ex. 2 6 = 6
3. Adding fractions. - Find a common denominator for the two fractions. Make equivalent fractions and add the numerators. Change the answer to the lowest mixed number if the question requires.
4 2 12 10 22 7 Ex. + = + = =1 5 3 15 15 15 15
4. Subtracting Fractions. - Find a common denominator for the two fractions. Make equivalent fractions and subtract the numerators. Change the answer to the lowest mixed number if the question requires. - If using mixed numbers, borrow from the whole number if you cannot subtract the numerators.
6. Dividing Fractions. - Change the division statement by multiplying by the reciprocal. Reduce the numbers diagonally and then multiply the numerators and denominators separately.
