The formula in plain language

To add fractions, convert them to a common denominator, add the numerators, and reduce. A mixed number is a whole plus a fraction. Multiply the whole by the denominator and add the numerator before you do arithmetic. A ratio a:b = c:d solves for the missing term by cross-multiplying. Long division splits a number into a whole quotient and a remainder.

A worked example

1/2 plus 1/3 is 5/6. The mixed number 2 1/4 is 9/4. If 2:3 equals 8:d, then d is 12. 100 divided by 6 is 16 with a remainder of 4, or 16.666....

Adding, reducing, and converting a fraction are the same number in another form. This improper fraction to mixed number result should match mixed numbers and inch fractions.

• Reduce the answer if you are comparing it with a tape that is marked in sixteenths.
