Fractions
A fraction is one number over the other like this:
Numerators and Denominators
| Number | Numerator and Denominator |
| 8 | is the numerator |
| 11 | is the denominator |
| 5 | is the numerator |
| 11 | is the denominator |
Common Denominators
| Fraction Number | Result | |
| ½ + 1/2 | 2/2 | Equal |
| ¼ + ¼ + 1/4 | 3/4 | Smaller |
| ½ + 1/4 | 6/8 | Smaller |
Only if you change ½ to the equivalent expression 2/4 thus: 2/4 + ¼ = ¾

Social Studies
The Rise of Modern Economics
Laissez-Faire
The greatest changes in the ways people thought about labor and the creation of wealth came in the Enlightenment of the 1700s and from the Scottish philosopher Adam Smith, considered to be the father of modern economics. Smith believed that if people were free to pursue their own economic self-interest, then all of society would benefit. The government should leave the economy alone. The doctrine became known as laissez-faire, a French term roughly translated as “to let the people do what they want”. In his book, The Wealth of Nations, Smith argued that the state had only three basic roles. Those roles were to protect society from invasion, defend citizens from injustice, and maintain public works – such as roads and canals-that individuals could not afford but were necessary for trade.
Industrial Revolution
While smith was developing his ideas about modern economics, a major event was transforming the way economies functioned. Beginning in the 1780s in Great Britain, the Industrial Revolution was beginning to take place. It began with major advances in agriculture that dramatically increase food supplies, allowing more people to eat at lower cost with less labor. As the population grew, more people moved to towns and cities looking for work, while the government and wealthy individuals began investing in machines and factories. Britain was especially well positioned to do so.
