Day 2 - Basic Operations With Fractions

1. The document discusses basic operations with fractions, including adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing fractions. It provides examples of how to perform each operation by getting a common denominator, multiplying or dividing numerators and denominators, and simplifying as needed. 2. Several practice problems are provided applying the fraction operations. For adding and subtracting fractions, the procedure is to get a common denominator and then add or subtract the numerators. For multiplying fractions, the numerators are multiplied and the denominators are multiplied. For dividing fractions, the division problem is rewritten as a multiplication problem by flipping the second fraction. 3. Working through the practice problems demonstrates how to apply the fraction operations covered in the first
