Generally speaking, when someone wants to know about conversions of fractions, it is to be assumed that this person wants to know about converting fractions to decimals. Our common number system is a base 10 system, so for the purposes of this answer we will assume base 10. And this is the interesting part: there is no difference between fractions and decimals (or, for the computer science oriented amongst us, floating point numbers). For example, if someone says the have 1/4th of an acre of land, that means they have 25% of one acre of land (in other words, .25 of one acre).

How do you add improper fractions?
If the denominators are different, find a common denominator, convert the fractions to equivalent fractions with the same denominator, proceed with adding the numerators, put that total over the denominator, simplify if possible. If the denominators are the same, skip the conversion, proceed with adding the numerators, put that total over the denominator, simplify if possible.
What are terminating and non-terminating fractions?
Terminating fractions create a digital equivalent of fixed length (e.g. 1/4 = exactly 0.25). Non-terminating (repeating) fractions create a repeating decimal after a certain number of places, and do not have an exact digital equivalent (e.g. 1/3 = 1.333_). (This occurs as a result of conversion to base-10 numbers.)
What is the factor label method?
The factor-label method is the sequential application of conversion factors expressed as fractions and arranged so that any dimensional unit appearing in both the numerator and denominator of any of the fractions can be cancelled out until only the desired set of dimensional units is obtained.
How do you know whether you have chained fractions correctly when you are changing a measurement to different units?
Select a conversion factor so that canceling removes the undesired unit and leaves the desired unit.
Where can one find an online fraction calculator?
