Fraction on a Number Line (3.NF.A.2)
Classify Fraction
Proper Fractions have Numerator < Denominator
Imroper Fractions have Numerator > Denominator
Whole Fractions have Numerator = Denominator
Since 8 > 2
8/2 is a(n) Improper fraction
Convert fraction to decimal
8/2 to decimal = 4
Convert to a mixed fraction
Whole Portion = Int(Numerator/Denominator)
Whole Portion = Int(8/2)
Whole Portion = Int(4)
Whole Portion = 4
Mixed Numerator Portion = Numerator - (Whole * Denominator)
Mixed Numerator Portion = 8 - (4 * 2)
Mixed Numerator Portion = 8 - 8
Mixed Numerator Portion = 0
Mixed Number = Whole & Mixed Numerator/Denominator
Mixed Number = 4 & 0/2
Long Division with Remainder
8/2 long division = 4 remainder 0

Fraction Check
Since 8/2 is a fraction, we use our long division decimal calculator to get 4
Natural Number Test
Counting numbers > 0: 1,2,3,4,5,...
Since 4 is positive and a counting number, 4 is a natural number
Whole Number Test
Whole Numbers are positive numbers
They include 0
They have no decimal or fractional parts
Since 4 >= 0 and it is an integer, 4 is a whole number
Integer Test
Integers have no fractions or decimals
-5,-4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4,5,...
4 is an integer
Rational Number Test
Rationals = a/b
where a and b are integers<
and b ≠ 0.
Since 4 is an integer or decimal from above, 4 is also a rational
Irational Number Test
They do not form a ratio between two integers
They are not an imaginary number.
Imaginary Number Test
Test for square root of a negative
Since 4 is not the square root of a negative number, it is not imaginary
Equivalent Fractions: Check if we can simplify our fraction
Since we have a GCF ≠ 1, we divide numerator and denominator by the GCF = 2
