What is the rule for subtracting fractions?
First, change it so that the two fractions have the same denominator (by changing the fractions into equivalent fractions). Once the two fractions have the same denominator, it is simply a case of subtracting the numerators, leaving the denominator the same. Finally, reduce the fraction to its lowest terms (if possible).
Is the product of two denominators always a common denominator?
Only if you have just two fractions.
When is the product of two fractions less than its factors?
If the fractions are both proper fractions ... equivalent to less than 1 ... thenthat's always true ... the product is always less than either factor.
Why it is important to know how to find the greatest common division of two numbers?
It helps to reduce fractions.
What is one whole minus two tens in fractions?
8/10, which can reduce to 4/5
How can you tell whether two fractions that look differentrepresent the same number?
Reduce them to their lowest terms
How do you determine whether ratios are proportional?
you divide the numerator by the denominator, if you get the same to the other fractions, it is proportional. Another solution is if you reduce the two fractions to simplest form and they are the same, they are also proportional.
What are the two fractions?
There is no such thing as THE two fractions. There are infinitely many fractions.
What is 5 over 12 in unlike and like fractions?
Like and unlike fractions only make sense when you have two [or more] fractions. One fraction, such as 5/12, is always like itself.
How do you multiply two proper fractions?
You multiply the numerator not the denomanater because the demomenator will always be the same.
How do you add or subtract dissimilar fractions?
You first convert them to similar fractions, i.e., to fractions that have the same denominator.* Step one: find a common denominator.* Step two: convert both fractions to equivalent fractions that have that denominator.
How many fractions are between three-fourths and one-half?
Whatever two fractions you name, no matter how close together they are, I can always name another fraction between them. In fact, there are an infinite number of fractions between any two fractions, no matter how close together they are. That goes for three-fourths and one-half.
