What are fractions that are equal in value but may have different numerators and denominators?
Equivalent fractions.
What are fractions that are equal in value but have different numerators and denominators?
They are known as equivalent fractions
Fractioins that are equal in value but may have different numerators and denominators?
equal fractions
What are the characteristics of improper fractions?
Improper fractions have numerators that are greater than or equal to their denominators.
How do you know when two fractions are equal?
If the denominators (bottom numbers) are not equal, making equivalent fractions of them so that the denominators are equal. With the denominators equal if the numerators (top numbers) are equal, then the fractions are equal.
What are equilavent fractions?
Equivalent fractions can be defined as fractions that may have different numerators and denominators but they represent the same value. For example, 9/12 and 6/8 are equivalent fractions because both are equal to 3/4.
What is true about the numerators of two like fractions with a sum of 1?
That their sum is always equal to the denominator.
What do you notice when the denominators in two fractions are the same?
You can represent the two fractions with one fraction with a numerator equal to the sum of the two individual numerators (with sign) and a denominator equal to just one of the two denominators.
How can you tell whether the sum of two fractions with a common denominator is greater than 1 less than 1 or equal to?
If the sum of the numerators is greater than the denominator the sum is greater than 1. If the sum of the numerators is equal to the denominator the sum is equal to 1. If the sum of the numerators is less than the denominator the sum is less 1.
What do all the fractinos equal?
Different fractions are equal to different values.
What is the general rule for multiplying fractions?
The product of two fractions is equal to the two numerators multiplied together divided by the two denominators multiplied together. (a/x) * (b/y) = (a * b) / (x * y)
How are equivalent fractions used in renaming when subtracting?
When subtracting one fraction to another, one or both fractions are renamed so that they have the same denominators. Then the result of the subtraction is the equal to the subtraction of the numerators divided by the common denominator.
