    1) 1/2 and 3/2 both equal 0.5 because they represent the same fraction with the numerator and denominator reduced. Fractions like 3/2 can be cancelled to simplify to an equivalent fraction like 1/2. 2) When adding or subtracting fractions, the denominators must be the same. If they are not, you can multiply the numerator and denominator of one or both fractions by a number to make the denominators the same. 3) Division by zero is undefined and not allowed. Dividing by zero does not yield infinity.

    Fractions

    means 1 divided by 2. If you try this on a calculator, you will get an answer of 0.5 . 3/
    means 3 divided by . !sing a calculator, you will find that this too gives an answer of 0.5 .
    "hat is because 1/2 # 3/ # 0.5 . $ractions such as 3/ can be cancelled. %ou can divide the
    to& and bottom of the fraction by 3 to get 1/2 .
    'ith fractions, you are allowed to multi&ly or divide the to& and bottom of the fraction by
    some number, as long as you multi&ly (or divide) everything on the to& and everything on the
    bottom by that number.
    *o 5/12 # 10/2+ (multi&lying to& and bottom by 2).
    Division by Zero
    ,t this &oint, it is worth mentioning that you are not allowed to divide by -ero. .ivision by
    -ero is undefined. *ome &eo&le thin/ you can divide by -ero and get infinity0 you can1t.
    .ivision by -ero is sim&ly not allowed.
    Adding and Subtracting Fractions
    "o add two fractions, the bottom (denominator) of the two fractions must be the same. 1/2 2
    3/2 # +/2 3 1/10 2 3/10 2 5/10 # 4/10 . If the denominators are not the same, multi&ly the to&
    and bottom of one (or more) of the fractions by a number to ma/e the denominators the same.
    Example
    5 2 2 # 5 2 + # 4 # 3
    3 2
