Only Fractions with a Common Denominator can be directly compared.
A unit fraction IS a fraction, but of a specific type where the numerator is 1. Thus 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, etc are all unit fractions.
Creating fractions in Word depends on if it is a simple fraction, three-fourths for example, or a complex fraction, like the Quadratic Formula. Most simple fractions will automatically be changed to fraction form by Microsoft. Try typing 1/2 in a document and press the space bar afterward and watch it turn to ½. Complex fractions aren't so lucky. You will need to create a table that has 1 column and 2 rows. The first row will act as your numerator and the second row will be your denominator. When you create the table, it will automatically have borders, you will want to remove all the borders and only leave the line between the numerator and the denominator.
improper fraction
Mixed fraction
A mixed number has an integer and onefraction.
They are improper or 'top heavy' fractions
You can type the numerator, a slash, and the denominator, for example, 1/2.You can type the numerator, a slash, and the denominator, for example, 1/2.You can type the numerator, a slash, and the denominator, for example, 1/2.You can type the numerator, a slash, and the denominator, for example, 1/2.
It depends on what type of fraction it is. If the fractions are improper fractions, the product will be greater than the two fractions multiplied together. (Ex: 3/2 x 5/4 = 15/6 or 5/2. 5/2 is greater than 3/2.) If the fractions both have 1 as a numerator, the product is smaller. (Ex: 1/3 x 1/6 = 1/18. 1/18 is less than 1/3.) Any other fractions, it would depend on what fractions you're multiplying. Remember, you are multiplying the numerator by the other numerator and the denominator by the other denominator. (Answer Product of numerators/Product of denominators)
Title: Introduction to Fractions Objective: Students will be able to identify, represent, and compare fractions. Introduction (5 mins) - Review what fractions are and why they are used. Identifying Fractions (10 mins) - Show various fractions and have students identify the numerator and denominator. Representing Fractions (15 mins) - Students use visual aids (like fraction bars) to represent given fractions. Comparing Fractions (10 mins) - Students compare fractions using visual aids and identify which fraction is greater or less than the other. Practice (10 mins) - Students work on exercises in their workbook to apply what they have learned. Conclusion (5 mins) - Review key concepts learned today and summarize the lesson.
A unit fraction IS a fraction, but of a specific type where the numerator is 1. Thus 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, etc are all unit fractions.
Complex fraction Complex fraction - A complex fraction is a fraction where the numerator and/or denominator are a fraction. Decimal - A decimal is a number based on the number 10. It can be thought of as a special type of fraction where the denominator is a power of 10. Decimal point - A period or dot that is part of a decimal number.

It is division.
You can't really type fractions, but you can use the divide function to create the fraction line, and imitate it in a way.
Fractions are generally thought of as quantities less than one. If a fraction is equal to or greater than one, it is either a mixed fraction, such as 3 1/2 (three and one half), or an improper fraction, such as 3/2 (three halves) or 5/3 (five thirds). The student should learn how to convert quickly from mixed fractions to improper fractions and vice versa.
