What is comparing and ordering fractions?
Ordering fractions is putting them in order, usually least to greatest, smallest to largest. In order to determine whether a fraction is larger or smaller than another one, it is necessary to compare them. This is done by determining a common denominator and comparing the numerators.
What are the steps to comparing fractions?
cross multiply and the fraction with the largest total is a greater fraction
Why does the butterfly method work when comparing fractions?
it works when comparing fractions by multiplying the fractions to see whitch one is greater not greater and equal
What does comparing fractans mean?
The correct spelling is fractions instead of fractans. Comparing fractions means to tell which fraction is smaller and which is bigger.
Explain how comparing fractions with like denominators differs from comparing fractions with unlike denominators?
Because when you compare fractions with the same denominators, you do not have to find the least common denominator (LCM or LCD).
What is the name for fractions that are commonly used for comparing measuring and estimating?
benchmark fractions
Comparing fractions without using an lcd?
It is easy: just convert to decimal fractions.
When do you use cross multiplication?
When comparing or simplifying fractions.
What does comparing fractions mean?
it means that you look at 2 or more fractions and see their simalaritys and differences
What is the definition of comparing fractions?
when 2 fractions have the same denomenator, the one the larger numerator is greater.
How do you do comparing fractions?
Fractions can be compared by seeing if the numerator and the denominator have the same numbers multiplied on the top and bottom.
What do you do when comparing fractions and the denominator and the numerator are different?
Convert them into equivalent fractions with the same denominator and then compare the numerators.
When do you use LCM?
When you are trying to add or subtract unlike fractions.
What is comparing and ordering rational numbers?
Rational numbers are roots, decimals, fractions, and whole numbers. Bascially anything that can become a decimal. Irrational numbers are like pi. I'm pretty sure to be irrational, they have to repeat. Anyway, ordering them and comparing them means looking at them and seeing which is smallest and largest. Then you order them (smallest to largest or whatever it says).
When comparing fractions with the same you only have to compare the?
Numerator, Denominator or Denominator, Numerator.
What is common in fractions and decimals and percentages?
They are ways of calculating and comparing parts of wholes.
How do you determine the most appropriate graph to use?
it what you are comparing
How do you arrange fractions in asending order?
Various methods: * Convert the fractions into equivalent fractions with the same denominator; then order by smallest numerator to largest; * Convert the fractions to [approximate] decimals by dividing the numerators by the denominators; then order by the smallest decimal to largest; * Divide the denominators by the numerators; then order by the largest result to the smallest. In all cases list the original fractions.
Describe how comparing integers is different from comparing whole numbers?
-230 < -335, is it right?
What is one way of comparing fractions besides common numorator or common denominator?
Convert them to decimals.
How do you determine the greatest slope?
By determining the individual slopes, and comparing.
Difference LCD and LCM?
The function of the numbers in question. The process is the same. When comparing two whole numbers, we call it the LCM. When comparing two fractions, we call it the LCD.
how Do you determine the least to greatest when using fractions and decimals?
You determine the least to greatest in decimals by using their leftmost unit. The decimal 0.2 is less than 0.3. To determine fractions, you need to first convert them to decimals.
Where do you place the whole number when comparing a part to a whole?
when comparing a part to a whole in fractions you would put the whole as the denominator: 1/4 would be one part of 4.
How can you determine the relative age of lunar features?
By comparing their intersecting features.
