Add your answer:
Fractions with different denominators are called?
unlike fractions
What are like and unlike fractions?
Like fractions are the fractions which have the same denominator and unlike fractions are the fractions which do not have the same denominator.
What is unlike fractions?
Do you mean "What are unlike fractions? There must be at least 2. They are fractions with different denominators such as 3/4 and 1/2. Like fractions would be fractions like 3/4 and 1/4.
What are Fractions that have different denominators?
unlike fractions
What is a unlike fraction?
You must have 2 fractions or more to have unlike fractions. They are fractions with different denominators such as 7/8 and 1/2. Like fractions would have the same denominator like 7/8 and 4/8.
What do like and unlike fractions mean?
Like fractions have the same denominators (bottom part of fraction), unlike fractions do not.
What is the word for fractions with different denominators?
Unlike. Unlike. Unlike. Unlike.
What the difference between like and unlike fraction?
fractions having same denominators are like fractions & others are unlike 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.
Why do you convert unlike fractions?
Unlike fractions have denominators that are unequal, and therefore cannot be added or subtracted. If two fractions need to be added or subtracted they must first be converted to like fractions.
What are fractions with unlike denominators mean?
The denominator is the bottom number in a fraction. Fractions like 1/3 and 1/4 have different numbers on the bottom. Those are unlike denominators.
Do you add and subtract like and unlike fractions in the same way?
no, to add and subtract like and unlike fractions the denominator has to be the same,
How do you add unlike fractions?
Change them to like fractions and proceed.
What is the difference between unlike fractions and like fractions?
that they dont looks like them
What are the differents types of fractions?
like fractions,unlike fractions proper fractions ,improperfractions equivalent 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.
What are unlike mixed numbers?
the fractions have different denominators
What is the definition of adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators?
What is the definition of Adding and Subtracting Like Fractions
What are unlike fractions?
Unlike fractions are fractions having unlikedenominators, e.g., 1/4 and 1/6.
Adding unlike fractions?
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.
Why do you have to turn unlike fractions into like fractions to add or subtract?
because its just one of the rules of math :)
What is the definition of unlike fractions?
That simply means that the fractions have different denominators. Such fractions cannot be directly added, subtracted, or compared; you have to convert them to a common denominator first.
What is the definition to unlike denominators?
unlike denominators: the bottom number of a fraction. to have unlike denominators you must have two fractions with a different number on the bottom of each fraction.
What do you call fractions with not the same denominator?
"Unlike" fractions.
Are the steps for like and unlike denominators the same or different?
It depends what you are doing with the fractions. If you are multiplying or dividing fraction, the denominators do not need to be the same and the calculation can be carried out immediately. If you are adding or subtracting fractions, the denominators must be the same; if you have different denominators, the fractions must first be changed into equivalent fractions with the same denominator. When the denominators are the same (or have been made the same as equivalent fractions from being different) the calculation can be carried out.
