Example: Fraction form of shaded part = 2
or 2 + 2
Mixed fraction :The improper fraction can be written in the mixed form as it
is the mixture of whole and a fraction
1 1
Example:Fraction form of shaded part = 1+ 4 = 1 4
Like fraction : The fractions with the same denominators are like fractions
Unlike fraction: The factions with the different denominator are
Called Unlike fractions.
Equivalent fraction : Two or more fractions are said to be equivalent if they are equal
to the same fraction when simplified.
Decimal Fractions: The fractions in which the denominator is equal to 10 or multiples of
