Frequently asked math questions, including decimals and fractions

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

What are improper fractions?

Improper fractions are fractions where the numerator (the top number) is greater than or equal to the denominator (the bottom number). Example 3/2

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.

What is an exponent?

An exponent refers to the number of times a number (the base) is multiplied by itself. For example, 2³ means 2 × 2 × 2 = 8.

What is a median?

The median is the mid value in a set of numbers when the numbers are arranged in order. If there are two middle numbers, the median is the average of those both those numbers.

What is a percentage as a fraction?

A percentage can be written as a fraction by placing it over 100 and simplifying. For example, 20% = 20/100 = 1/5.

What is a fraction bar?

A fraction bar is the horizontal line that separates the numerator and denominator in a fraction. It also represents division. For example, in 2/4, the fraction bar means 2 divided by 4.
