Adding and subtracting fractions
Example 1
Dan left school at \latex{ 1} PM. It took him \latex{ 20\;minutes } to get home, then he rested for a quarter of an \latex{ hour } and spent one and a half \latex{ hours } doing his homework. After that, he played football with his friends for  \latex{1 \frac{3}{4}} \latex{ hours }. His parents arrived home half an \latex{ hour } after he returned from the football field. At what time did Dan's parents come home?
Solution
Convert the data to fractions, then add them. \latex{ 20 } \latex{ minutes } = \latex{\frac{1}{3}} \latex{ hour };
quarter of an \latex{ hour }= \latex{\frac{1}{4}} \latex{ hour }; one and a half \latex{ hours } = \latex{\frac{3}{2}} \latex{ hours }; \latex{1\frac{3}{4}} \latex{ hours }= \latex{\frac{7}{4}} \latex{ hours };
half an \latex{ hour } = \latex{\frac{1}{2}} \latex{ hour }.
\latex{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{3}{2}+\frac{7}{4}+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{4}{12}+\frac{3}{12}+\frac{18}{12}+\frac{21}{12}+\frac{6}{12}=\frac{52}{12}}
To add fractions, find a common denominator.
Written as a mixed number, then simplified: \latex{\frac{52}{12}=4\frac{4}{12}=4\frac{1}{3}}
\latex{13+4\frac{1}{3}=17\frac{1}{3}};   \latex{17\frac{1}{3}=17} \latex{ hours } \latex{20} \latex{ minutes. }
Check:
\latex{ 20 \;minutes} + \latex{\frac{1}{4}} \latex{ hour } + \latex{\frac{3}{2}} \latex{ hours} + \latex{1\frac{3}{4}} \latex{ hours} + \latex{\frac{1}{2}} \latex{ hour } =
=\latex{ 20 \;min } + \latex{ 15 \;min } + \latex{ 90 \;min } + \latex{ 105 \;min } + \latex{ 30 \;min } = \latex{ 260 \;min } = \latex{ 4 \;hours \;20 \;minutes }.
Dan’s parents arrived home at \latex{17} \latex{ hours } \latex{20} \latex{ minutes } (\latex{5}:\latex{20} PM).
Example 2
To make a Hawaiian cocktail, you need \latex{\frac{3}{20}} \latex{ l } of orange juice, \latex{\frac{3}{50}} \latex{ l } of lemon juice, \latex{\frac{4}{50}} \latex{l} of pineapple juice and \latex{\frac{6}{50}} \latex{l} of ginger juice. 
Moreover, you need to add sparkling water to make the volume of your cocktail \latex{ 1 \;litre }.
How many \latex{ litres } of sparkling water do you need to add to your Hawaiian cocktail to have \latex{ 1 \;litre } of beverage?
Look it up.
Where is Hawaii? What country does it belong to?
Solution
You can calculate the amount of sparkling water needed by subtracting the sum of the other ingredients from \latex{ 1\; litre }.
 
\latex{1-\left(\frac{3}{20}+\frac{3}{50}+\frac{4}{50}+\frac{6}{50} \right)=1-\left(\frac{3}{20}+\frac{13}{50} \right)=1-\left(\frac{15}{100}+\frac{26}{100} \right)=}
\latex{=1-\frac{41}{100}=\frac{100}{100}-\frac{41}{100}=\frac{59}{100}}
The amount of sparkling water needed is \latex{\frac{59}{100}} \latex{l}.
When adding and subtracting fractions, the lowest common multiple of the denominators should be used as the common denominator.
Example:
\latex{\frac{7}{16}+\frac{1}{12}=\frac{7\times 3+1\times 4}{48} =\frac{25}{48}}
Expanding:

\latex{\frac{8}{16}-\frac{3}{12}=\frac{8\times 3-3\times 4}{48}=\frac{12}{48}=\frac{1}{4}}
Simplifying:

\latex{\frac{8}{16}-\frac{3}{12}=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{2}{4}-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{4}}

LCM of \latex{ 16 } and \latex{ 12 } \latex{=2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 3=48 }
When adding or subtracting fractions with different denominators, find the common denominator by expanding or simplifying them, then perform the operation.
Multiplying fractions by integers
Example 3
A sixth grader spends \latex{\frac{5}{24}} of a \latex{ day } at school every \latex{ day }. How many \latex{ days } does a sixth grader spend at school during one \latex{ week }?
Solution
Add the time spent at school each \latex{ day }:
 
\latex{\frac{5}{24} +\frac{5}{24}+ \frac{5}{24}+\frac{5}{24}+\frac{5}{24}=\frac{25}{24}=1\frac{1}{24}}
 
An addition with the same addends can be expressed as a product:
 
\latex{\frac{5}{24} +\frac{5}{24}+ \frac{5}{24}+\frac{5}{24}+\frac{5}{24}=5\times \frac{5}{24}=\frac{5\times 5}{24}=\frac{25}{24}=1\frac{1}{24}}
 
A sixth grader spends \latex{25} \latex{ hours }, that is, \latex{1\frac{1}{24}} \latex{ days } at school each \latex{ week }.
Since the factors are interchangeable, you can write it as:
\latex{5\times \frac{5}{24}= \frac{5}{24}\times 5}
When multiplying a fraction by an integer, multiply the numerator by the integer and leave the denominator unchanged.
Example:
\latex{8\times \frac{5}{24}=\frac{8\times 5}{24}=\frac{40}{24}=\frac{5}{3}}
If the denominator of the fraction is divisible by the integer, then it can be multiplied by dividing the denominator by the integer and leaving the numerator unchanged.
Example:
\latex{8\times \frac{5}{24}=\frac{5}{24\div 8}=\frac{5}{3} }
In other words:
If the denominator and the multiplier have a common factor, then the terms can be simplified before performing the multiplication.
Example:
\latex{\overset{1}{\cancel{8}}\times \frac{5}{\underset{3}{\cancel{24}} }=\frac{5}{3}}
Before performing the multiplication, it is always worth contemplating every possibility to simplify the terms.
Example:
\latex{24\times \frac{\overset{7}{\cancel{14}} }{\underset{16}{\cancel{32}} }=\overset{3}{\cancel{24}}\times \frac{7}{\underset{2}{\cancel{16}} }=\frac{21}{2}=10\frac{1}{2}}
Dividing fractions by integers
Example 4
\latex{\frac{3}{8}} \latex{ kg } of butter is added to the dough. Identical buns are formed using the dough. How many kilograms of butter are in each bun if
  1. \latex{ 5 };
  2. \latex{ 3 } buns are made?
Solution
  1. The dough containing \latex{\frac{3}{8}} \latex{ kg } of butter is divided into \latex{ 5} buns; therefore, one bun will contain one-fifth of the total amount, that is, \latex{\frac{3}{8} \div 5(kg)} of butter.
\latex{\frac{3}{8} \div 5=\frac{3}{8\times 5}=\frac{3}{40}}
One bun contains \latex{\frac{3}{40}\;kg} of butter.
  1. The dough containing  \latex{\frac{3}{8}\;kg} of butter is divided into \latex{ 3 } buns:
\latex{\frac{3}{8} \div 3=\frac{3\div 3}{8}=\frac{1}{8}}
A bun will contain \latex{\frac{1}{8}\;kg} of butter.
You can always divide a fraction by an integer by multiplying its denominator by the integer and leaving its numerator unchanged.
Example:
\latex{\frac{10}{7} \div 2=\frac{10}{2\times 7}=\frac{10}{14}=\frac{5}{7}}
If the numerator of a fraction is divisible by the integer, you can divide the numerator by it and leave the denominator unchanged.
Example:
\latex{\frac{10}{7} \div 2=\frac{10\div 2}{7}=\frac{5}{7} }
When a mixed number is divided by an integer, convert the mixed number to an improper fraction and perform the division.
Example:
\latex{1\frac{3}{7}\div 2=\frac{10}{7}\div 2=\frac{5}{7} }
