If you double the denominator of any fraction, the number of unit fractions stays the same but each unit fraction is half as big. So the value of the fraction is half what it was when you double the denominator.
2×(5/8)=(2×5)/8=10/8

What happens to the value of a fraction when you double its denominator?
You have to double the numerator, but the value of the fraction remians the same but if you dont double the numerator then you dont have the same fraction
What will happen when you divide by a fraction?
If the dividend (the number being divided into) is zero, then there is no change in value as the result is also zero; Otherwise:if the fraction is a proper fraction (the numerator is less than the denominator) then the (absolute) value of the dividend will increase; otherwiseif the fraction is an identity (the numerator equals the denominator) then the value of the dividend will not change; otherwisethe fraction is an improper fraction (the numerator is greater than the denominator) and the (absolute) value of the dividend will decrease.
What is the different between the numerator and the denominator of a fraction?
the numerator is the top number and the denominator is the lower number. If they get switched it can change the entire value of the fraction.
What happens to the fraction if the numerator is increased?
If the numerator of the fraction is increased and the denominator doesn't change, then the value of the fraction increases.
How can you reduce with out changing the denominator?
You cannot, unless you also change the value of the fraction.
If a fraction in the denominator it is undefined IT HAS WHAT?
If the denominator has a zero value.
How do you find the denominator of a fraction if you know the numerator and the value?
Denominator = Numerator/Value
What is the relationship to the number 1 if the numerator and the denominator of the fraction have the same value?
If the numerator and denominator are equal, then the value of the fraction is ' 1 '.
What is a fraction with a denominator that has a different value?
It is a different fraction!
What happens to a unit fraction when it is divided by a whole number?
As long as the whole number is not zero, it becomes a unit fraction with a larger denominator, ie one with a smaller value.
If a fraction in the denominator it is undefined IT HAS WHAT its denominate?
a value of zero in the denominator makes the fraction undefined
What if the denominator is more than twice the numerator is the fraction 0?
Yes, it can be. If the numerator is 0. Then suppose the denominator is 3, which is bigger than 0 (double the numerator). So the value of the fraction is 0/3 = 0.
