Two fractions are similar if they have the same denominator.So if p/r and q/r are two such fractions, then p/r + q/r = (p+q)/r.
Multiply the whole number by the denominator. Add the product to the numerator of the proper fraction. The sum is the numerator of the improper fraction. The denominator will stay the same.
Yes, that is a perfectly valid mathematical operation.
Just simply add/subtract the numerators then copy the denominator.
It is best to convert the mixed fraction to an improper fraction. They are then added together in the same way as proper fractions are added together.
Proper fractions are less than 1. Improper fractions are greater than 1. For a proper fraction to become an improper fraction, you would have to add a quantity that would make it greater than 1.
Similar fractions are fractions with the same denominator. In order to add or subtract fractions they need to be similar.
The same way as proper ones. Find a common denominator, add the converted numerators, simplify if possible.
Multiply the bottom by the whole number...and then add THAT number by the top number,hope this is what you're looking for!
You have to convert them to equivalent similar fractions (fractions with the same denominator) first.
No.
They are the same. If you write the whole number p in the form of the fraction, p/1, you would see absolutely no difference.
Improper fraction is greater than a proper fraction.
