  • Simplifying fraction multiplications
  • Dividing fractions
  • Simplifying complex fractions (fractions within a fraction)
  • How to convert fractions into decimal numbers
  • How to convert decimal numbers into fractions
Every topic is explained in detail, complete with many step-by-step worked examples and diagrams. Additionally. major topics are immediately followed by a set of practice questions (there are well over 300 questions in total in the book), the answers to which can be found at the end of each chapter.

In summary, whether you want to learn fractions yourself, or teach your kids fractions, or are a student preparing for exams such as GCSEs or high school maths tests, or are an adult learner wishing to improve your numeracy and knowledge of this important math topic - this book is ideal for you.
About the Author: Sunil Tanna is an author, software developer, and tutor (math and science). He writes... My first real memory of reading a book was when I was five, in infants school. The teacher was conducting a very detailed and rather slow lesson on how to tell the time. I already knew how to tell the time, or at least I thought I did, and I was bored. The whole class was sitting on a mat, and I happened to be sitting near the back, next to a bookshelf. I took a book off the shelf about a group of school children who investigated, and eventually solved, a smuggling mystery. Completely absorbed, I sat quietly reading to myself. I don't think it was a huge book, it couldn't have been, but I amazed myself by managing to read the entire book cover to cover. Just as I turned the last page, I suddenly realised that the lesson was coming to an end. I remember worrying that I might have missed some vital new detail of telling the time that perhaps the teacher had slipped in during the second half of the lesson. Somehow however I survived. I've had a love of books ever since, although nowadays I generally try to choose more opportune moments to read them. As a writer, I hope to write about both my personal experiences, and the things that interest me most. Since I have quite an eclectic range of interests, you can expect a diverse range of books from me in future.
