Fractions
分數
A fraction is a part of a whole. In this lesson you will learn what fractions are, what the numerator and denominator mean, and how to compare fractions.
分數是整體的一部分。在這一課,你會學習甚麼是分數、分子和分母代表甚麼,以及怎樣比較分數。
1 · What is a fraction?
甚麼是分數?
A fraction is a part of a whole. If you cut a pizza into 4 equal slices and take 1, you have 1 out of 4, written as 1/4. If you cut it into 2 and take 1, you have 1/2.
分數是整體的一部分。把薄餅切成 4 等份,取 1 份,就是 4 份中的 1 份,寫作四分之一。如果切成 2 份取 1 份,就是二分之一。
2 · Numerator and denominator
分子和分母
In the fraction 3/4, the denominator (4) tells you how many equal parts the whole is divided into. The numerator (3) tells you how many parts you have.
在分數 3/4 中,分母(4)告訴你整體分成多少等份,分子(3)告訴你有多少份。
3 · Equivalent fractions
等值分數
Equivalent fractions are different fractions that show the same amount. 1/2 is the same as 2/4 and 4/8. Multiply or divide the top and bottom by the same number.
等值分數是表示相同數量的不同分數。1/2 等於 2/4,也等於 4/8。把分子和分母同時乘或除以同一個數。
- 1/2 = 2/4 = 4/8二分之一等於四分之二等於八分之四。
4 · Comparing fractions
比較分數
To compare fractions, make the denominators the same. 1/2 is bigger than 1/4, because 1/2 = 2/4 and 2/4 is more than 1/4.
要比較分數,先把分母變成一樣。1/2 比 1/4 大,因為 1/2 = 2/4,而 2/4 比 1/4 多。
Same denominator? Then the bigger numerator is the bigger fraction.
分母相同時,分子較大的分數就較大。
