Fractions. What about them?

Some might say that they are difficult.

Others might say they are a breeze.

But that's the problem. No one ever speaks out and asks for help. I want to do something about that.

In case you didnt know, fractions are just parts of a whole number.

Here are some examples: 1/2, 5/10, 3/16, etc.

 

People also struggle with adding or doing any equations with fractions. 

Some equations look like this: 1/2+5/18

One of the main things people forget to do is find a common denominator. 

The common denominator in this situation would be 18. 

That means that the new equation would be 9/18+5/18.

My teacher assigned me this project. I didn't realize the importance of it until I researched more. I found out that more people than I thought have problems with math. So I decided to write about it.
