Introduction







Theterm ?fraction? is from the Latin word ?fractus? meaning ?broken?.

 

Afraction is a broken number that represents a part or parts of somethingconsidered as a whole.

 

1/6,2/8, 3/5, 11/15, 34/79, 121/197?are some examples of fractions.

 

Ina fraction, the top number called the ?numerator? represents the part and thebottom number called the ?denominator? represents the whole.

 

Inthe fractions mentioned above, 1, 2, 3, 11, 34, 121 are the ?numerators? and 6,8, 5, 15, 79, 197 are the ?denominators?.

 

Types of fractions

 

Thefollowing are the three different types of fractions.

 

  1. Proper fractions
  2. Improper fractions
  3. Mixed numbers
 

Properfraction

 

Ina ?proper fraction? the numerator (topnumber) is less than its denominator (bottom number). Examples: 2/5, 7/9,101/120 etc.

 

Improperfraction

 

Inan ?improper fraction? the numerator(top number) is greater than or equal to the denominator (bottom number).Examples: 4/3, 7/4, 11/10, 5/5, 213/188 etc.

 

Mixednumber

 

A?mixed number? is a whole number and aproper fraction combined. Examples: 1 1/3, 4 1/5, 7 3/4, 100 6/7 etc.

 

Fractions in RealLife Situations

 

Everyday, without even noticing it, weuse fractions. We use fractions when sharing food e.g. pizza, pies,fruits etc. The following are some examples of fractions in real lifesituations.

 

Example 1

 

Supposeyou have just 1 apple at home and you want to share it with your brother. Whatdo you do? You cut the apple into halves to share it between the 2 of you. Eachone gets half or 1/2 of an apple.

 

Example 2

 

Nowsay you have 7 friends come over. You ordered a large pizza and you wanted to share it with7 of your friends.How much will each one get?

 

Thereare 8 people'so you cut the pizza into 8 equal slices and each one gets one slice.Each one gets one-eighth or 1/8 of the pizza. 

 

Example 3

 

Knowing fractionsmakes a chef's life easier. In most recipes, a chef measures ingredients that are in fractionalparts, like 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 2/3tablespoon of vanilla extract, 4 1/3 cups of flour etc.

 

If a chef doesn't measure correctly or figure out just how much of aningredient need to be added to the recipe, then the food he/she makes won?ttaste very good.

 

Hereare a couple of recipes with lots of nice fractions:

Sugar Cookie Recipe

Dark Chocolate Brownie Recipe

?        8ounces bittersweet chocolate

?        4ounces butter

?        4large eggs

?        1/4teaspoon salt

?        11/4 cup granulated sugar

?        11/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

?        3/4cup all-purpose flour

?        1cup chopped walnuts

Example 4

 

Ashiny ribbon bowmakes a gift-wrapped present look special. Sara wanted to tie 4 Christmas giftswith silver ribbon. She bought 3 yards of silver ribbon to make 4 silver bowsof equal length.

 

Sarahas to first figure out the amount of ribbon it takes to make 1 bow. Once thelength is known, she can use a ruler to measure and then cut them into equalpieces.

 

3yards of ribbon for 4 bows

11/2 yards of ribbon for 2 bows

 

3/4of a yard of ribbon for 1 bow

 

So,Sara will need three-fourths or 3/4 of a yard of ribbon to make 1 bow.

In A Real Life
We have explored the notion of not having time for exercise and how to think differently about your fitness, to make it a higher priority and find time to fit it into your timetable. We have also talked a lot about options, being flexible and making sure that when you look at your schedule and see you have got a really busy week coming up, you can still clearly see where you can fit in your activity and healthy eating plans, even if it is not your complete or ideal fitness routine. Ensuring that you take active steps towards your goals at all times will keep you on track physically and will also reassure you mentally that you are never slipping backwards. A week without exercise or even a few days of food choices that do not work so well for you can play havoc with your mind and make getting started again more difficult than it needs to be. If you have some options of exercises that you can fit into any schedule, you will always feel one step ahead of the game, and as you put together your yoga exercise programmes, you will come up with your own ideas of where you can fit extra activity into your schedule. There are also plenty of ways to sneak exercise into your weekly routine and to experiment with different tricks to keep you on track. The same is true of your food routine. There may be weeks where it is just not possible to keep to your plan for optimum nutrition but that does not mean you throw caution to the wind. Use your new-found knowledge, experience and skills to work through tricky times and keep yourself headed in the right direction. Here are some more tips to keep you ahead of the game. You can add your own personal tips to the list as you create them as part of your routine. Then use this section as quick reminders of what you should be doing, and when. Tips For Every Day Pay attention to how you sit and stand. Just a few days of poor posture and slouching could make you look like you have piled on the pounds, so stand up straight to make your limbs look lithe and toned. Plan all exercise sessions well in advance and do not let anything get in the way of them. Decide what you are going to do and when you are going to do it, and then forget about it until the time arrives to get on with it. Involve someone else in your exercise plans. Tell people exactly what you are going to do and how you are going to achieve your goals. The more people you tell, the more likely you are to stick to your promises as you will not want to let yourself down by failing to live up to your talk.Think carefully about what you are trying to achieve and spend time visualizing how great you will feel when you have achieved it. Plan activities and workouts that will lead you to your results so you know exactly what days and what times you will be exercising. If you plan these times carefully and keep your end goals in mind, you will not talk yourself out of them.Find a reliable friend with common goals to exercise with you. By agreeing times and dates to work out you are more likely to see quick results than if you exercise alone.Collect photos of yourself - your favourite pictures of yourself as you want to be, and your least favourite pictures of yourself at your worst. Keep them handy with the most favourite on top of the least favourite. Every time you feel tempted to indulge in a food vice, or are struggling to find the motivation to exercise, look at your favourite photos and know that each positive thing you do is a step on the way to getting back to the way you were in the picture.Visualize success in the gym and all that goes with it. Think about working out as a key element in creating a new you ­ a stronger, fitter, healthier, happier you, oozing with self ­ confidence and sex appeal. The sky's the limit when it comes to imagining the ways in which improving your fitness could improve your life, so think of as many as possible and use them as your motivation to get each workout started.
