It simply means that the two quantities are based on different bases.
The definition is a different denominator in a fraction
Like fractions are the fractions which have the same denominator and unlike fractions are the fractions which do not have the same denominator.
The denominator is the bottom number in a fraction. Fractions like 1/3 and 1/4 have different numbers on the bottom. Those are unlike denominators.
Least common denominator.....
"Unlike" fractions.
Like fractions have the same denominator, unlike fractions don't.
You don't. You find a common denominator and compare after that.
Any fraction whose denominator is not 12.
no, to add and subtract like and unlike fractions the denominator has to be the same,
You look for a common denominator; convert the fractions to equivalent fractions with the denominator you found; then you do the addition itself.
If you are adding or subtracting unlike fractions, convert them to equivalent fractions with a common denominator.
A common denominator results from comparing two or more unlike denominators. It can be the same as one of the denominators, but doesn't have to be.
