 A fraction is a number that shows equal parts of a whole.
 To check whether two fractions are equivalent, we cross multiply them. If we get the
same product, then the fractions are equivalent.
 Fractions that represent the same parts of a whole are called equivalent fractions.

 Fractions with the same denominator are called like fractions.
 Fractions with different denominators are called unlike fractions.
 If the denominators are the same, the fraction with the greater numerator is greater.
 Addition and subtraction of like fractions involve operations on the numerators
only.
