A fraction is a number over another number. The reason that i think working with fractions is so hard is becuase there is two numbers. And when you multiply just like a regular number times a fraction it gets kind of confusing. And thats truth and thats all im saying

A fraction is 4 numbers and you can add,subtract,divide, or multiply.
Fractions are not hard for me to work out, once you get the hang of it its pretty easy to figure out.

a fraction is kinda like a percentage or “part” of something and i think that they’re kinda hard because sometimes they don’t always divide and then they’re decimals…..

fractions are part of a whole number and can be simplified. i think that fractions are hard because you sometimes have to find the common denomenater and they are hard to add
