Fraction Operations Explained

Fractions represent parts of a whole. The TI-15 Fraction Calculator handles four main operations:

Addition of Fractions

To add two fractions, find a common denominator and add the numerators:

a/b + c/d = (ad + bc)/bd

Subtraction of Fractions

To subtract two fractions, find a common denominator and subtract the numerators:

a/b - c/d = (ad - bc)/bd

Multiplication of Fractions

To multiply two fractions, multiply the numerators and denominators:

a/b × c/d = ac/bd

Division of Fractions

To divide two fractions, multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction:

a/b ÷ c/d = a/b × d/c = ad/bc

These operations are fundamental in mathematics and are used in various real-world applications.

Worked Examples

Let's look at some practical examples of how to use the TI-15 Fraction Calculator.

Example 1: Adding Fractions

Calculate 1/4 + 1/6:

Find a common denominator: 12
Convert fractions: 3/12 + 2/12 = 5/12
Result: 5/12

Example 2: Multiplying Fractions

Calculate 3/5 × 2/7:

Multiply numerators: 3 × 2 = 6
Multiply denominators: 5 × 7 = 35
Result: 6/35

These examples demonstrate how the TI-15 Fraction Calculator can simplify complex fraction operations.
