What does it mean when the numerator goes over the denominator?
It means, that is a fraction! But, when the numerator is larger than the denominator, Its an Improper fraction! When the fraction looks like this, ex: 5 and 3/9, its a mixed number. And thats the magical wonderland of Math!
What is a fraction in which the numerator is larger than the denominator?
Its an improper fraction...which looks like this: 3/2 or 8/3 or 5/2 and many many more :) The way you turn an improper fraction into a mixed fraction (mixed number) is by seeing how many times the denominator goes into the nuerator the number you get is your whole then the remainder is your numerator and the denominator from the improper fraction will be the same denominator in your mixed fraction(mixed number is the same thing as mixed fraction) EXAMPLE: 3/2 2 goes into 2 once so thats my whole: 1 then 1 is left over because 2x1=2 so thats my new numerator then the denominator stays the same so your mixed fraction(mixed number) is 1 1/2
How do you subtract a mixed number and a fraction?
take the denominator from the mixed number and multiply it by the whole number on the mixed number. take your answer and add the numerator from the mixed number. take your answer and make it the numerator of a new fraction,but take the old denominator from the mixed number and make that the new denominator.take your new fraction and try to get a common denominator with the other fraction. when they both have the same denominator then subtract........it sounds complicated, i know. example:1 1/3 - 2/6, then turn the mixed number to 4/3 by following the steps. so now you have 4/3 - 2/6. Then multiply 4/3 x 2/2 so you get 8/6. now you subtract, 8/6 - 2/6 = 6/6. but 6/6 equals 1,so thats an answer.
When you add fractions do they have to have the same denominator?
Yes you have to add with the same denominator. when ever you do fractions they have to have the same denominator no matter what. So thats a yes
How do you add the top number of the unlike fraction?
You find the least common denominator and then you see how many times the denominator of the actual fraction goes into it, then you multiply that by how many times it goes into the least common denominator, then you just do it for the other fraction as well, example:6/9+3/7= The least common denominator is 56 bcuz 9 and 7 dont go into eachother, then you find how many times 9 goes into 56: which is 7 so you multiply it by 6 and you have 56/56= 1 whole, so thats the first fraction and you do the same thing to the nextYou can go to YouTube to find GREAT videos!Josh W.

How do you write a mixed number as a fraction?
To convert an improper fraction to a mixed number, divide the denominator into the numerator. The answer is the whole number. Put any remainder over the original denominator to create the fraction part.
How do you change a percent into a ratio?
Put the percent over 100 to make a fraction. Then simplify the fraction and you have the ratio. ex.) 1. 50% 2. 50/100 (thats the fraction 50 over 100) 3. 1/2 (I divided both the numerator and denominator both by 50) 4. 1:2 (thats your ratio)
How do I work out fractions as percentages?
times the denominator by a number to get to a hundred then times the numerator by the same number. the final faction that you get, take the numerator and add a percentage sign and thats your percentage
