Frequently asked math questions, including decimals and fractions

Read the following section to help deepen your understanding of basic math concepts.

What are proper fractions?

Proper fractions are fractions where the numerator (the top number) is less than the denominator (the bottom number). Example 2/3

What are simple or reduced fractions?

Simple or reduced fractions are fractions whose top number (numerator) and bottom number (denominator) cannot be any smaller, while still being a whole number. That is to say, the number can no longer be divided by any number other than one while still being a whole number. 1/3 is a good example of a fully reduced fraction.

Why is there a need to convert decimals to fractions anyway?

The U.S. is one of a few countries worldwide that still uses the Imperial system of measurement, which is a fractional measurement system, where items are measured in feet, inches, pounds, ounces, yards, and so on. The majority of the rest of the world uses the metric system, which is a decimal measurement system, where items are measured in cm, meters, grams, kilos, and so on.
