The three types of fractions are :

• Proper fraction.
• Improper fraction.
• Mixed fraction.

To Solve Fraction Questions in Math, we need to:

1. Note that the numerator is on the top and the denominator is on the bottom
2. Turn a whole number into a fraction by putting it over 1
3. Reduce fractions if you need to simplify them
4. Learn to turn mixed numbers into improper fractions.
5. Figure out how to convert improper fractions into mixed numbers

5.50 + 2.60 = 8.10 ==> This is what that she bought

10.00 - 8.10 = 1.90 ==> This is her change.

It is 1.90 because $5\frac{1}{2}$ is $5.5$ so add it to $2.60$ and then subtract it from $10$.

If you have .1 it is equal to 1 tenth, which is equal to $\frac{1}{10}$. So if you have .9 or .90 it would be equal to $\frac{9}{10}$ or  $\frac{9}{100}$

$1.90 is in a fraction of  $1 \frac{9}{10}$

It is 1.90 because $5\frac{1}{2}$ is $5.5$ so add it to $2.60$ and then subtract it from 10

If you have $0.1$ it is equal to 1 tenth, which is equal to $\frac{1}{10}$ So if you have .9 or .90 it would be equal to $\frac{9}{10}$ or $\frac{9}{100}$

$1.90 is in a fraction of $1\frac{9}{10}$
