This module deals with basic operations concerning fractions.
Operations involving fractions are useful in our daily life. When you buy meat
or other products from the market, the quantity is often expressed in fractions
(e.g., ½ kilo of beef, 3 ¼ meters of cloth). Whenever you divide something
into parts (e.g., a piece of land, a birthday cake, or an inheritance), fractions
are involved.

? express parts of a whole into fractions and vice versa;
