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 sheet 1?
RIGHT
Comparing fractions without using an lcd?
It is easy: just convert to decimal fractions.
How can you tell from the fraction array of fractions are equivalent?
You can determine if fractions are equivalent by simplifying them to their lowest terms or by comparing their cross products. If two fractions simplify to the same value or if the cross products (the product of the numerator of one fraction and the denominator of the other) are equal, then the fractions are equivalent. For example, for fractions a/b and c/d, they are equivalent if a * d = b * c.
What does comparing fractions mean?
it means that you look at 2 or more fractions and see their simalaritys and differences
When do you use cross multiplication?
When comparing or simplifying fractions.
What is the biggest fraction?
Infinity-1/infinity * * * * * Infinity is not a number and division by infinity is not defined. Apart from which, if it were permitted, 1/infinity would be the smallest fraction! Just as there is no largest number, there is no biggest fraction.
