Denseness of Fractions

What is fraction density?

The important idea that between any two fractions there are an infinite number of other fractions. (Ex. between 2/10 and 9/10, there 3/10, 4/10, 5/10 and an unlimited number of other fractions)

How to find a fraction between two fractions:

1. Make sure the denominators of the two fractions are the same, if they're not convert them to their LCD. 2. Find numbers that are in between the numerators of the fractions. (Ex. 3, 4, and 5 are between 2 and 9. Therefore; 3/10, 4/10, and 5/10 are between 2/10 and 9/10) Using the diagram below, practice finding a common denominator between two fractions
