Add your answer:
Which fraction is greater if the two fractions have the same denomintors and different numerators?
The fraction that have the greatest numerator.
Why are two fractions converted into like fractions?
Because you can't add or subtract fractions that have different denominators. Making them like fractions, by multiplying so the denominators are the same, you can add and/or subtract them.
Which fraction is greater if the two fractions have the same numerators annd different denomintors?
The fraction with the greater denominator is less. For example, 1/2 is greater than 1/3 while 1/3 has the greater denominator.
Why would you want to rename fractions with the LCD?
Possible reasons: To add or subtract fractions, To compare fractions with different denominators.
How do you add two fractions with a different denominator?
You add two fractions with a different denominator by multiplying the denominators by a number that will make them equal. Be sure to multiply the numerator by that number too.
Why does the equivalent fraction make adding and subtracting fractions easier?
You cannot add or subtract fractions with different denominators. If the denominators are different then you need to work with equivalent fractions.
How is adding like fractions and adding unlike fractions the same?
If the denominators are not the same, then you have to use equivalent fractions which do have a common denominator . To do this, you need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of the two denominators. To add fractions with unlike denominators, rename the fractions with a common denominator. Then add and simplify.
When you add fractions do you have to find a common denominator?
Only if the denominators are different.
How do you add and subtract fractions with the same denominator?
it stay the same when you subtract fractions and when you add fractions.
How do you add and subtract by fractions?
If the fractions have the same denominator, add and subtract the numerators as if the denominators weren't there and put the result over that denominator. Reduce if possible. If the fractions have different denominators, find the LCM of the denominators and convert the fractions to equivalent fractions with like denominators. Then add and subtract the numerators as if the denominators weren't there and put the result over that denominator. Reduce if possible.
How do you turn a fraction into a different fraction?
You can add or subract other fractions to it, or reduce it.
How do you add two fractions with different denominators?
sex is very nice :3
How do you add fractions with different numerators and denominators?
with different denominators, just get their lcd and that will serve as they're denominator.
What is always needed to add fractions?
Fractions! Otherwise you don't have anything to add.
How do you add two fractions that have like denominators?
In fractions, you can NEVER add or subtract
Why is it important to learn about equivalent fractions?
Answer: When adding or subtracting fractions with different denominators it is important to change the denominators into the lowest common denominator by using equivalent fractions. Answer: Equivalent fractions are used to: * Simplify fractions. It is sort of inelegant to write the final solution of a problem as 123/246, when you can just as well write it as 1/2. * Add fractions. If two fractions have different denominators, you need to convert them to equivalent fractions that have the same denominator. Only then can you add. * Subtract fractions (same as addition). * Compare fractions, to check which one is larger (same as addition).
Meaning of adding of dissimilar fractions?
Dissimilar fractions have different denominators and their lowest common denominator must be found in order to add them up.
Why is it important to add together fractions?
because you can find out different amounts put together
Why can't you add or subtract fractions that have different denominators?
YOU JUST CANT....go on you try it
How do you add fractions with different denomanaters?
You convert to a common denominator first. Then you add or subtract the numerator and write it in simplest form
How do I add improper fractions?
Change them into mixed numbers and add the integers and fractions together ensuring that the fractions have a common denominator.
When you add fractions do you add the denominator to?
No.
When you add fractions do you flip improper fractions around?
no
What you need to add or subtract fractions?
You need a common denominator in order to add or subtract fractions.
How do you add three fractions without the same denominators?
When you want to add fractions that have different denominators, you have to convert them into fractions that do have the same denominators. So for example, how much is a half plus a third? Both of these can be converted into sixths, so one half equals three sixths, and one third equals two sixths. Three sixths plus two sixths equals five sixths. That's the answer. If you have three fractions with different denominators, the procedure is the same. Convert all three into fractions with the same denominators, then add them.
