Why is the answer larger when you multiply a whole number by a whole number and smaller when you multiply a whole number by a proper fraction?
It is larger because the two whole numbers form a greater, larger number when multiplpied together. It is smaller when u multiply a whole number by a fraction because a fraction is a decimal and u get a smaller number when multiplying a number like 1/7 of 5
how to convert a non-proper fraction into a proper fraction?
Multiply the whole number by the denominator. Add the product to the numerator of the proper fraction. The sum is the numerator of the improper fraction. The denominator will stay the same.
Does A proper fraction ever has the same value as a mixed number?
i don't think so because the mixed number should come out larger the the proper fraction, unless your just looking at the fraction.
How is the product of a proper fraction and a whole number similar to and different from the product of two proper fractions?
They are the same. If you write the whole number p in the form of the fraction, p/1, you would see absolutely no difference.
35 percent as an improper fraction?
35% wouldn't be an improper fraction - it would be a proper fraction. 35/100, or 7/20 is the proper fraction answer. An improper fraction is where you have a larger number as a numerator and a smaller number as the denominator, such as 100/35.
How is the product of a proper fraction and a whole number similar and different from the product of two proper fractions?
If you express the whole number w, as w/1, then there is no difference whatsoever.
Why is an improper fraction greater than a proper fraction?
A proper fraction is a fraction who's numerator is smaller than the denominator. An improper fraction is a fraction who's numerator is larger than or equal to the denominator. 1/2 is a proper fraction. 3/2 is an improper fraction. Now to understand why the improper fraction is larger than the proper fraction, lets split them up. The proper fraction is one half of a whole, whereas the improper fraction is one whole and one half. Basically the proper is one half, and the improper is three halves. In theory, a proper fraction is always less than the whole number under consideration. On the other hand, an improper fraction is either equal to or larger than the whole number under consideration.
How do you change a proper fraction into a inproper?
Multiply it by a number that is large enough so that the numerator of the fraction becomes larger than its denominator.
Can 11 and 1 eighth be written as a proper fraction?
A fraction is made up of two parts: a numerator (top number) and a denominator (bottom number). There are 3 types of fractions: Proper, Improper, Mixed. A proper fraction is one where the numerator is smaller than the denominator. An improper fraction is one where the numerator is larger or equal to the denominator. A mixed fraction is one with a whole number and a proper fraction together. 11 1/8 is a mixed fraction, and can be written as the improper fraction 89/8. It is impossible to write it as a proper fraction because the numerator is larger than the denominator. Also, all mixed fractions are improper fractions and no improper fractions can be written as proper fractions.
When multiplying fraction by fraction the product will always be what?
The only thing that you can be certain of is that the answer will be a number. It could be irrational or rational, it could be a proper fraction, integer or improper (mixed) fraction.
How is the product of a proper fraction and a whole number similar to the product of 2 proper fractions?
Any whole number, n, can be written as the fraction n/1.Multiplication of a fraction, p/q by a whole number n is the same as multiplying p/q by n/1.Furthermore, the process of multiplying proper fractions and improper fractions is the same and that gives the equality of the two processes.
Can the denominator of an improper fraction be greater than the numerator?
no, if the denominator is larger than the numerator, it is not improper. it is either a proper fraction or a mixed number.
