Week 4 Term 2

Wow! Time has flied by sooo fast. It is week 3, no week 4, I'm just confusing myself. This week we learnt how to write fractions in simplest form by dividing both numbers. I also learnt how to use improper fractions and mixed number together both ways. If it is an improper fraction you need to work out how many of that number is in the other number. For example, 11/3, how many threes are in 11? 3, 6, 9, so the whole number is 3. You have two numbers left over so you would turn that into 2/3, the answer three and two thirds. If you're doing it the other way you need to turn a proper fraction with a whole number into an improper fraction. You multiply the whole number with the denominator and that onto the numerator. Use the same denominator but the added sun as the numerator. For example, five times three equals 15, plus two equals 17 so the answer is 17/3. I've just finished my memoir and handed it in. The due date is tomorrow but I'm not going to be here because I have a dance competition. Wish me luck!!!
