How do you change fraction to similar fraction?
Multiply the numerator and the denominator by the same integer.
How can you change fractions to similar fraction?
Multiply the numerator and the denominator by the same integer.
How do you multiply and divide similar fraction?
To multiply two fractions, multiply the numerators together, then the denominators, then put the new numerator over the new denominator. Simplify if you can. To divide fractions, invert the second fraction and multiply as just described.
What are the steps in changing similar fractions to dissimilar fraction?
Take one of the fractions. Multiply its numerator and denominator by any integer greater than 1. The result will be a fraction with is equivalent to the fraction that you started with but no longer similar to the other fraction.
How can you change fraction to similar fraction?
You can multiply or divide numerator and denominator by the same (non-zero) number. For example, 1/2 = 3/6, since, if you multiply top and bottom of 1/2 by 3 each, you get 3/6.

How do multiply similar fraction?
To multiply two fractions, whether or not they are similar, the numerator of the answer is the product of the two numerators. The denominator of the answer is the product of the two denominators.So (a/b)*(c/d) = (a*c)/(b*d).

How would you write 1.23 as a fraction?
1.23 and similar numbers with figures AFTER the decimal point are Decimal Fractions. When expressed as an 'ordinary' fraction then 1.23 = 123/100
How do you answer a similar fraction?
Multiply the numerator (top) and the denominator (bottom) of the fraction by any non-zero number. You will have an equivalent fraction.Multiply the numerator (top) and the denominator (bottom) of the fraction by any non-zero number. You will have an equivalent fraction.Multiply the numerator (top) and the denominator (bottom) of the fraction by any non-zero number. You will have an equivalent fraction.Multiply the numerator (top) and the denominator (bottom) of the fraction by any non-zero number. You will have an equivalent fraction.
How do you rationalizing the denominator?
Generally, the process involves multiplying the numerator and denominator of the fraction by the same number. This number is selected so that the original denominator becomes rational. In the process the numerator may become rational. If the original denominator is of the form √b then you multiply the numerator and denominator by √b/√b. If the original denominator is of the form a+√b then you multiply the numerator and denominator by (a-√b)/(a-√b). NOTE change of sign. There is a similar process, using complex conjugates, if the denominator is a complex number.
How is the process of dividing intergers similar to the process of multiplying intergers?
integers are negative and poitive numbers you can multipy and divide poitive numbers but you can't divide negative numbers because you can't have negitve divded by a other number
How do you check if the answer in similar fraction is correct?
If the fractions are similar, they will simplify to the same fraction.
Can a fraction and a whole number be divided?
Yes. If you mean dividing a whole number INTO a fraction here is how you do it. Take the whole number and write it as a fraction where the whole number is the numerator (top part of the fraction) and the number "1" is the denominator (the bottom part of the fraction). Now, turn that fraction upsides down so that the "1" is on top and the whole number is on the bottom. Multiply the numerator of the original fraction times the "1" giving you the original numerator as the new numerator. Multiply the whole number times the original denominator giving you the new denominator. If you means dividing the fraction into the whole number it is similar. Write the whole number as a fraction (as above) with 1 in the denominator. Then flip the fraction over and multiply the two numerators, the two denominators and you have your answer.
