What is a fraction that compares two quantities measured in different units?
A rate is a fraction that compares two quantities measured in different units. If the denominator of the fraction is 1 unit, the rate is called a unit rate.
Is a fraction a unit fraction?
No, every fraction is not a unit fraction because unit fraction must have 1 as numerator but every unit fraction is a fraction such as 2/3 is a fraction but not considered a unit fraction and 1/3 which is a unit fraction is also called fraction
Shall numerator and denominator in a fraction should be on the same unit of measurement or they can be on different unit of measurement?
In a fraction they must be in the same units. In a ratio they need not be.
How are all unit fractions different?
They have the same numerator (1) but different denominators. Since the numerator is 1 in each fraction, it cannot be simplified therefore each unit fraction is in its simplest form. Then, because the denominators of any two of them are different the fractions must be different.
What is one technique used to convert a measurement in one unit into a different unit with out changing the value of the measurement?
Multiply the original quantity by a conversion factor, a fraction containing the desired unit in the numerator and the original unit in the denominator so that the fraction is equal to one.
What is a fraction that compares two quantities measured in different units?

What is true about every unit fraction?
Every unit fraction is in its simplest form. Every unit fraction is a proper fraction.

How are fraction units different?
They usually have a denominator of 1 although numerators of 1 are also possible.
How do you know if a fraction is a unit fraction?
It has "1" for the numerator.

What is the unit form of a fraction?
A unit fraction is any fraction with 1 in the numerator.
What is a fractional unit?
Unit fractions are fractions where the top number (numerator) is 1. EG: 1 over 5 ( 1/5 ) - The top number is 1 so it is a unit fraction.a unit fraction is any fraction with a numerator of 1 for example: 1/8 is a unit fraction 1/125, is a unit fraction 9/16 is NOTa unit fraction
How do you represent nine tenths as a unit fraction?
A unit fraction has the number 1 as the numerator. 9/10 cannot be represented as a unit fraction.
