Solving Equations with Fractions

I know fractions are difficult, but with these easy step-by step instructions you'll be solving equations with fractions in no time.

Do you start to get nervous when you see fractions? Do you have to stop and review all the rules for adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing fractions?

If so, you are just like almost every other math student out there! But... I am going to make your life so much easier when it comes to solving equations with fractions!

Our first step when solving these equations is to get rid of the fractions because they are not easy to work with!

Let see what happens with a typical two-step equation with the distributive property.

In this problem, we would typically distribute the 3/4 throughout the parenthesis and then solve. Let's see what happens:

Yuck! That just made this problem worse! Now we have two fractions to contend with and that means subtracting fractions and multiplying fractions.

So... let's stop here and say,

We DO NOT want to do this! DO NOT distribute fractions.

We are going to learn how to get rid of the fractions and make this much more simple!

So... what do we do? We are going to get rid of just the denominator in the fraction, so we will be left with the numerator, or just an integer!

I know, easier said than done! It's really not hard, but before I get into it, I want to go over one algebra definition.

We need to discuss the word term.

In Algebra, each term within an equation is separated by a plus (+) sign, minus (-) sign or an equals sign (=). Variable or quantities that are multiplied or divided are considered the same term.

That last example is the most important to remember. If a quantity is in parentheses, it it considered one term!

Let's look at a few examples of how to solve these crazy looking problems!

Example 1 - Equations with Fractions

Take a look at this example on video if you are feeling overwhelmed.

Hopefully you were able to follow that example. I know it's tough, but if you can get rid of the fraction, it will make these problems so much easier. Keep going, you'll get the hang of it!

In the next example, you will see two fractions.  Since they have the same denominator, we will multiply by the denominator and get rid of both fractions.

Example 2 - Equations with Fractions with the Same Denominator

Did you notice how multiplying by 2 (the denominator of both fractions) allowed us to get rid of the fractions?  This is the best way to deal with equations that contain fractions.

In the next example, you will see what happens when you have 2 fractions that have different denominators. 

We still want to get rid of the fractions all in one step. Therefore, we need to multiply all terms by the least common multiple.  Remember how to find the LCM?  If not, check out the LCM lesson here .

Example 3 - Equations with Two Fractions with Different Denominators

Yes, the equations are getting harder, but if you take it step-by-step, you will arrive at the correct solution. Keep at it - I know you'll get it!

Inverse operations

Solve equations with fractions

Here you will learn about how to solve equations with fractions, including solving equations with one or more operations. You will also learn about solving equations with fractions where the unknown is the denominator of a fraction.

Students will first learn how to solve equations with fractions in 7th grade as part of their work with expressions and equations and expand that knowledge in 8th grade.

What are equations with fractions?

Equations with fractions involve solving equations where the unknown variable is part of the numerator and/or denominator of a fraction.

The numerator (top number) in a fraction is divided by the denominator (bottom number).

To solve equations with fractions, you will use the “balancing method” to apply the inverse operation to both sides of the equation in order to work out the value of the unknown variable.

The inverse operation of addition is subtraction.

The inverse operation of subtraction is addition.

The inverse operation of multiplication is division.

The inverse operation of division is multiplication.

For example,

\begin{aligned} \cfrac{2x+3}{5} \, &= 7\\ \colorbox{#cec8ef}{$\times \, 5$} \; & \;\; \colorbox{#cec8ef}{$\times \, 5$} \\\\ 2x+3&=35 \\ \colorbox{#cec8ef}{$-\,3$} \; & \;\; \colorbox{#cec8ef}{$- \, 3$} \\\\ 2x & = 32 \\ \colorbox{#cec8ef}{$\div \, 2$} & \; \; \; \colorbox{#cec8ef}{$\div \, 2$}\\\\ x & = 16 \end{aligned}

Common Core State Standards

How does this relate to 7th grade and 8th grade math?

• Grade 7: Expressions and Equations (7.EE.A.1) Apply properties of operations as strategies to add, subtract, factor, and expand linear expressions with rational coefficients.
• Grade 8: Expressions and Equations (8.EE.C.7) Solve linear equations in one variable.
• Grade 8: Expressions and Equations (8.EE.C.7b) Solve linear equations with rational number coefficients, including equations whose solutions require expanding expressions using the distributive property and collecting like terms.

How to solve equations with fractions

In order to solve equations with fractions:

Identify the operations that are being applied to the unknown variable.

Apply the inverse operations, one at a time, to both sides of the equation.

Write the final answer, checking that it is correct.

Solve equations with fractions examples

Example 1: equations with one operation.

Solve for x \text{: } \cfrac{x}{5}=4 .

The unknown is x.

Looking at the left hand side of the equation, the x is divided by 5.

\cfrac{x}{5}

2 Apply the inverse operations, one at a time, to both sides of the equation.

The inverse of “dividing by 5 ” is “multiplying by 5 ”.

You will multiply both sides of the equation by 5.

3 Write the final answer, checking that it is correct.

The final answer is x=20.

You can check the answer by substituting the answer back into the original equation.

\cfrac{20}{5}=20\div5=4

Example 2: equations with one operation

Solve for x \text{: } \cfrac{x}{3}=8 .

Looking at the left hand side of the equation, the x is divided by 3.

\cfrac{x}{3}

The inverse of “dividing by 3 ” is “multiplying by 3 ”.

You will multiply both sides of the equation by 3.

The final answer is x=24.

\cfrac{24}{3}=24\div3=8

Example 3: equations with two operations

Solve for x \text{: } \cfrac{x \, + \, 1}{2}=7 .

Looking at the left hand side of the equation, 1 is added to x and then divided by 2 (the denominator of the fraction).

\cfrac{x \, + \, 1}{2}

First, clear the fraction by multiplying both sides of the equation by 2.

Then, subtract 1 from both sides.

The final answer is x=13.

\cfrac{13 \, +1 \, }{2}=\cfrac{14}{2}=14\div2=7

Example 4: equations with two operations

Solve for x \text{: } \cfrac{x}{4}-2=3 .

Looking at the left hand side of the equation, x is divided by 4 and then 2 is subtracted.

\cfrac{x}{4}-2

First, add 2 to both sides of the equation.

Then, multiply both sides of the equation by 4.

\cfrac{20}{4}-2=20\div4-2=5-2=3

Example 5: equations with three operations

Solve for x \text{: } \cfrac{3x}{5}+1=7 .

Looking at the left hand side of the equation, x is multiplied by 3, then divided by 5 , and then 1 is added.

\cfrac{3x}{5}+1

First, subtract 1 from both sides of the equation.

Then, multiply both sides of the equation by 5.

Finally, divide both sides by 3.

The final answer is x=10.

\cfrac{3 \, \times \, 10}{5}+1=\cfrac{30}{5}+1=6+1=7

Example 6: equations with three operations

Solve for x \text{: } \cfrac{2x-1}{7}=3 .

Looking at the left hand side of the equation, x is multiplied by 2, then 1 is subtracted, and the last operation is divided by 7 (the denominator).

\cfrac{2x-1}{7}

First, multiply both sides of the equation by 7.

Next, add 1 to both sides.

The final answer is x=11.

\cfrac{2 \, \times \, 11-1}{7}=\cfrac{22-1}{7}=\cfrac{21}{7}=3

Example 7: equations with the unknown as the denominator

Solve for x \text{: } \cfrac{24}{x}=6 .

Looking at the left hand side of the equation, x is the denominator. 24 is divided by x.

\cfrac{24}{x}

You need to multiply both sides of the equation by x.

Then, you can divide both sides by 6.

The final answer is x=4.

\cfrac{24}{4}=24\div4=6

Example 8: equations with the unknown as the denominator

Solve for x \text{: } \cfrac{18}{x}-6=3 .

Looking at the left hand side of the equation, x is the denominator. 18 is divided by x , and then 6 is subtracted.

\cfrac{18}{x}-6

First, add 6 to both sides of the equation.

Then, multiply both sides of the equation by x.

Finally, divide both sides by 9.

The final answer is x=2.

\cfrac{18}{2}-6=9-6=3

Teaching tips for solving equations with fractions

• When students first start working through practice problems and word problems, provide step-by-step instructions to assist them with solving linear equations.
• Introduce solving equations with fractions with one-step problems, then two-step problems, before introducing multi-step problems.
• Students will need lots of practice with solving linear equations. These standards provide the foundation for work with future linear equations in Algebra I and II.
• Provide opportunities for students to explain their thinking through writing. Ensure that they are using key vocabulary, such as, absolute value, coefficient, equation, common factors, inequalities, simplify, etc.

Easy mistakes to make

• The solution to an equation can be any type of number The unknowns do not have to be integers (whole numbers and their negative opposites). The solutions can be fractions or decimals. They can also be positive or negative numbers.
• The unknown of an equation can be on either side of the equation The unknown, represented by a letter, is often on the left hand side of the equations; however, it doesn’t have to be. It could also be on the right hand side of an equation.

• Lowest common denominator (LCD) It is common to get confused between solving equations involving fractions and adding and subtracting fractions. When adding and subtracting, you need to work out the lowest/least common denominator (sometimes called the least common multiple or LCM). When you solve equations involving fractions, multiply both sides of the equation by the denominator of the fraction.

The final answer is x = 6.

\cfrac{42}{6}=42 \div 6=7

Solve equations with fractions FAQs

Yes, you still follow the order of operations when solving equations with fractions. You will start with any operations in the numerator and follow PEMDAS (parenthesis, exponents, multiply/divide, add/subtract), followed by any operations in the denominator. Then you will solve the rest of the equation as usual.

Fractions Worksheets

Welcome to the fractions worksheets page at Math-Drills.com where the cup is half full! This is one of our more popular pages most likely because learning fractions is incredibly important in a person's life and it is a math topic that many approach with trepidation due to its bad rap over the years. Fractions really aren't that difficult to master especially with the support of our wide selection of worksheets.

This page includes Fractions worksheets for understanding fractions including modeling, comparing, ordering, simplifying and converting fractions and operations with fractions. We start you off with the obvious: modeling fractions. It is a great idea if students can actually understand what a fraction is, so please do spend some time with the modeling aspect. Relating modeling to real life helps a great deal too as it is much easier to relate to half a cookie than to half a square. Ask most students what you get if you add half a cookie and another half a cookie, and they'll probably let you know that it makes one delicious snack.

The other fractions worksheets on this page are devoted to helping students understand the concept of fractions. From comparing and ordering to simplifying and converting... by the time students master the material on this page, operations of fractions will be a walk in the park.

Most Popular Fractions Worksheets this Week

Fraction Circles

Fraction circle manipulatives are mainly used for comparing fractions, but they can be used for a variety of other purposes such as representing and identifying fractions, adding and subtracting fractions, and as probability spinners. There are a variety of options depending on your purpose. Fraction circles come in small and large versions, labeled and unlabeled versions and in three different color schemes: black and white, color, and light gray. The color scheme matches the fraction strips and use colors that are meant to show good contrast among themselves. Do note that there is a significant prevalence of color-blindness in the population, so don't rely on all students being able to differentiate the colors.

Suggested activity for comparing fractions: Photocopy the black and white version onto an overhead projection slide and another copy onto a piece of paper. Alternatively, you can use two pieces of paper and hold them up to the light for this activity. Use a pencil to represent the first fraction on the paper copy. Use a non-permanent overhead pen to represent the second fraction. Lay the slide over the paper and compare the two circles. You should easily be able to tell which is greater or lesser or if the two fractions are equal. Re-use both sheets by erasing the pencil and washing off the marker.

Adding fractions with fraction circles will involve two copies on paper. Cut out the fraction circles and segments of one copy and leave the other copy intact. To add 1/3 + 1/2, for example, place a 1/3 segment and a 1/2 segment into a circle and hold it over various fractions on the intact copy to see what 1/2 + 1/3 is equivalent to. 5/6 or 10/12 should work.

Fraction Strips

Fractions strips are often used for comparing fractions. Students are able to see quite easily the relationships and equivalence between fractions with different denominators. It can be quite useful for students to have two copies: one copy cut into strips and the other copy kept intact. They can then use the cut-out strips on the intact page to individually compare fractions. For example, they can use the halves strip to see what other fractions are equivalent to one-half. This can also be accomplished with a straight edge such as a ruler without cutting out any strips. Pairs or groups of strips can also be compared side-by-side if they are cut out. Addition and subtraction (etc.) are also possibilities; for example, adding a one-quarter and one-third can be accomplished by shifting the thirds strip so that it starts at the end of one-quarter then finding a strip that matches the end of the one-third mark (7/12 should do it).

Teachers might consider copying the fraction strips onto overhead projection acetates for whole class or group activities. Acetate versions are also useful as a hands-on manipulative for students in conjunction with an uncut page.

The "Smart" Fraction Strips include strips in a more useful order, eliminate the 7ths and 11ths strips as they don't have any equivalents and include 15ths and 16ths. The colors are consistent with the classic versions, so the two sets can be combined.

Modeling fractions

Fractions can represent parts of a group or parts of a whole. In these worksheets, fractions are modeled as parts of a group. Besides using the worksheets in this section, you can also try some more interesting ways of modeling fractions. Healthy snacks can make great models for fractions. Can you cut a cucumber into thirds? A tomato into quarters? Can you make two-thirds of the grapes red and one-third green?

Comparing and Ordering Fractions

Comparing fractions involves deciding which of two fractions is greater in value or if the two fractions are equal in value. There are generally four methods that can be used for comparing fractions. First is to use common denominators . If both fractions have the same denominator, comparing the fractions simply involves comparing the numerators. Equivalent fractions can be used to convert one or both fractions, so they have common denominators. A second method is to convert both fractions to a decimal and compare the decimal numbers. Visualization is the third method. Using something like fraction strips , two fractions can be compared with a visual tool. The fourth method is to use a cross-multiplication strategy where the numerator of the first fraction is multiplied by the denominator of the second fraction; then the numerator of the second fraction is multiplied by the denominator of the first fraction. The resulting products can be compared to decide which fraction is greater (or if they are equal).

• Comparing Proper Fractions Comparing Proper Fractions to Sixths ✎ Comparing Proper Fractions to Ninths (No Sevenths) ✎ Comparing Proper Fractions to Ninths ✎ Comparing Proper Fractions to Twelfths (No Sevenths; No Elevenths) ✎ Comparing Proper Fractions to Twelfths ✎

The worksheets in this section also include improper fractions. This might make the task of comparing even easier for some questions that involve both a proper and an improper fraction. If students recognize one fraction is greater than one and the other fraction is less than one, the greater fraction will be obvious.

This section additionally includes mixed fractions. When comparing mixed and improper fractions, it is useful to convert one of the fractions to the other's form either in writing or mentally. Converting to a mixed fraction is probably the better route since the first step is to compare the whole number portions, and if one is greater than the other, the proper fraction portion can be ignored. If the whole number portions are equal, the proper fractions must be compared to see which number is greater.

Many of the same strategies that work for comparing fractions also work for ordering fractions. Using manipulatives such as fraction strips, using number lines, or finding decimal equivalents will all have your student(s) putting fractions in the correct order in no time. We've probably said this before, but make sure that you emphasize that when comparing or ordering fractions, students understand that the whole needs to be the same. Comparing half the population of Canada with a third of the population of the United States won't cut it. Try using some visuals to reinforce this important concept. Even though we've included number lines below, feel free to use your own strategies.

Simplifying & Converting Fractions Worksheets

Rounding fractions helps students to understand fractions a little better and can be applied to estimating answers to fractions questions. For example, if one had to estimate 1 4/7 × 6, they could probably say the answer was about 9 since 1 4/7 is about 1 1/2 and 1 1/2 × 6 is 9.

Learning how to simplify fractions makes a student's life much easier later on when learning operations with fractions. It also helps them to learn that different-looking fractions can be equivalent. One way of demonstrating this is to divide out two equivalent fractions. For example 3/2 and 6/4 both result in a quotient of 1.5 when divided. By practicing simplifying fractions, students will hopefully recognize unsimplified fractions when they start adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing with fractions.

Multiplying Fractions

Multiplying fractions is usually less confusing operationally than any other operation and can be less confusing conceptually if approached in the right way. The algorithm for multiplying is simply multiply the numerators then multiply the denominators. The magic word in understanding the multiplication of fractions is, "of." For example what is two-thirds OF six? What is a third OF a half? When you use the word, "of," it gets much easier to visualize fractions multiplication. Example: cut a loaf of bread in half, then cut the half into thirds. One third OF a half loaf of bread is the same as 1/3 x 1/2 and tastes delicious with butter.

Dividing Fractions

Conceptually, dividing fractions is probably the most difficult of all the operations, but we're going to help you out. The algorithm for dividing fractions is just like multiplying fractions, but you find the inverse of the second fraction or you cross-multiply. This gets you the right answer which is extremely important especially if you're building a bridge. We told you how to conceptualize fraction multiplication, but how does it work with division? Easy! You just need to learn the magic phrase: "How many ____'s are there in ______? For example, in the question 6 ÷ 1/2, you would ask, "How many halves are there in 6?" It becomes a little more difficult when both numbers are fractions, but it isn't a giant leap to figure it out. 1/2 ÷ 1/4 is a fairly easy example, especially if you think in terms of U.S. or Canadian coins. How many quarters are there in a half dollar?

Adding Fractions

Adding fractions requires the annoying common denominator. Make it easy on your students by first teaching the concepts of equivalent fractions and least common multiples. Once students are familiar with those two concepts, the idea of finding fractions with common denominators for adding becomes that much easier. Spending time on modeling fractions will also help students to understand fractions addition. Relating fractions to familiar examples will certainly help. For example, if you add a 1/2 banana and a 1/2 banana, you get a whole banana. What happens if you add a 1/2 banana and 3/4 of another banana?

A common strategy to use when adding mixed fractions is to convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions, complete the addition, then switch back. Another strategy which requires a little less brainpower is to look at the whole numbers and fractions separately. Add the whole numbers first. Add the fractions second. If the resulting fraction is improper, then it needs to be converted to a mixed number. The whole number portion can be added to the original whole number portion.

Subtracting Fractions

There isn't a lot of difference between adding and subtracting fractions. Both require a common denominator which requires some prerequisite knowledge. The only difference is the second and subsequent numerators are subtracted from the first one. There is a danger that you might end up with a negative number when subtracting fractions, so students might need to learn what it means in that case. When it comes to any concept in fractions, it is always a good idea to relate it to a familiar or easy-to-understand situation. For example, 7/8 - 3/4 = 1/8 could be given meaning in the context of a race. The first runner was 7/8 around the track when the second runner was 3/4 around the track. How far ahead was the first runner? (1/8 of the track).

How To Solve Equations With Fractions

What is an equation.

An equation is a statement used in mathematics to show that two items are equal. In fractions, an equation is used to find the value of a fraction when one or more of its parts are unknown.

If you’re stuck on a math problem that involves fractions, don’t worry! In this article, we’ll show you how to solve equations with fractions step by step.

Step 1: Find the least common denominator

Firstly we need to find the least common denominator (LCD) of the fractions found in the equation, which is the smallest number that can be a common denominator for both of the fractions. For this equation the LCD is 12 as this is the lowest common multiple of 4 and 6.

Step 2: Multiply the least common denominator

Multiply the LCD to both sides of the equation.

Step 3: Simplify the equation

Simplify both sides of the equation and make sure we’re only working with whole numbers.

Step 4: Simplify until there's one term on both sides

Move all terms with the variable on one side and further simplify both sides of the Equations so we have one term on both sides.

Step 5: Divide the coefficient on both sides

Once the variable is isolated on one side, divide the coefficient on both sides to solve for the unknown variable.

Examples of how to solve equations with fractions

Q1) Find the value of x in:

First, let’s find the least common denominator (LCD) of the fractions:

6=2×3 15=3×5 LCD:2×3×5=30

Multiply 30 on both sides of the equation. Make sure to simplify after distributing 30.

Move 6x on on the left-hand side of the equation to isolate the term with the variable.

20x-6x=60 14x=60

Divide 14 on both sides of the equation to solve for x.

Q2) An unknown fraction is added to 1 and we divide the sum by 3. The result is equal to 3/4. What is the value of the unknown fraction?

We can let n be the unknown number. We can set up the equation to solve the problem.

First, look for the least common denominator (LCD). Since 3 and 4 don’t share any common factors, we find their product.

Multiplying 12 to both sides of the equation, we have:

Move 4 on the right-hand side of the equation.

4n=9-4 4n=5

Divide both sides by 4 to isolate n.

Hence, the unknown fraction is equal to 5/4.
