Marjo and I have decided to create a game on a wiki. I hope that this game that we created will give you a better understanding about the different kinds of fractions **(proper fractions, improper fractions, mixed fractions and equivalent fractions).**


 * Here is all the background information needed for this Un-Project:**


 * What is a Fraction?** a ratio with tw nts the part of a whole. The Denominator is the bottom and represents the whole piece. The line between these two parts means "divided by".


 * Proper Fractions:** Numerator is less than denominator

 * Improper Fractions:** Numerator is more than denominator




 * Equivalent Fractions:** Two or more different fractions that represent the same value or amount. To figure out the equivalent of a fraction, you have to multiply or divide both the numerator and denominator by the same number.

o parts, a numerator and denominator The Numerator is the top and represe These two fractions: 1/2 and 3/6 are equivalent to each other. They **both** represent a **50% or half of a whole**.


 * Mixed Fraction:** A fraction with a whole number and a proper fraction.

__**Converting a Mixed Fraction into an Improper Fraction:**__

Steps:
 * 1) Multiply the denominator by the whole #**
 * 2) Take answer from part 1 and add the numerator to get the new numerator**
 * 3) Keep the original denominator**

Example: media type="custom" key="42624"


 * __Converting an Improper Fraction into a Mixed Fraction:__**

Steps**:**
 * 1) Determine the # of times the denominator goes into the numerator**
 * 2) Take your answer from step 1 and subtract that answer from the numerator of the Improper**
 * fraction**
 * 3) Keep the original denominator**

Example: media type="custom" key="41271"
