What is a quick way to judge the relative size of a fraction?
Convert to its decimal equivalent (by dividing denominator into numerator).
What tells the portion of the whole that is referenced by the fraction?
The numerator does, but you still have to know the denominatorin order to know the size of the portion.
What is the fraction that is greater 1 over 2 but less then a whole?
Any fraction where the numerator is less than the denominator but more than half its size is a correct answer. There are an infinite number of them.
How do you rewrite a fraction that represents pieces that are the same size?
They are equivalent fractions. Multiply both the numerator (top) and the denominator (bottom) of the fraction by any non-zero integer or divide both by any common factor. You will have an equivalent fraction.
How many equivalent fraction can be written for any given fraction?
An infinite number! To create an equivalent fraction the numerator and denominator can be multiplied by any number; one such group of numbers that can be used to create a group of equivalent factions is the counting numbers: {1, 2, 3, 4, ...} - multiply the numerator and denominator of the original fraction by 2, then 3, then 4, etc. This group is infinite in size, therefore there are an infinite number of equivalent fractions that can be written for any given fraction.
How does increasing the numerator affect its size?
It increases it.
What happens to the size of a positive fraction when the the numerator is increased by 1?
The size increase.
What happends to the size of the fraction when you rename the fraction?
Renaming a fraction, if done properly, will not affect its size.
What happens to the size of the fraction as you decrease the numerator?
it get smaller, 4/4,3/4,2/4,1/4,
What happens to the size of the fraction when the numerator stays the same but the denominator increases?
The fraction decreases. 1/3 is smaller than 1/2.
What is a quick way to judge the relative size of a fraction?
Convert to its decimal equivalent (by dividing denominator into numerator).
If a fraction has zero in the numerator and 5 in the denominator what is the value of the fraction?
Any fraction that has a zero in the numerator has a value of zero. It does not matter what the denominator is. Think of it this way, if I say I ate zero slices of pizza it does not matter what the size of the slices are, I still did not eat any pizza.
What tells the portion of the whole that is referenced by the fraction?
The numerator does, but you still have to know the denominatorin order to know the size of the portion.
Kinds of fraction?
The numerator, which is the number above the line. The denominator, which is the number below the line. The denominator defines the size of the fractional parts of a whole, and the numerator tells how many there are. A fraction is often used to express the division of the numerator by the denominator.
What is the fraction that is greater 1 over 2 but less then a whole?
Any fraction where the numerator is less than the denominator but more than half its size is a correct answer. There are an infinite number of them.
How many fractions equal 2?
Any fraction whose numerator is twice the size of its denominator is equivalent to 2.There are an infinite number of them.
How does increasing the sample size affect the sample error of the mean?
It should reduce the sample error.
