What happens when decrease in numerator and increase in denominator?
The fraction gets smaller or increases, depending on whether the numerator and denominator are positive or negative.
What happens to the fraction if the numerator is increased?
If the numerator of the fraction is increased and the denominator doesn't change, then the value of the fraction increases.
What happens to the size of the fraction when the numerator stays the same but the denominator increases?
The fraction decreases. 1/3 is smaller than 1/2.
What happens if the denominator is lower than the numerator as a mixed fraction?
The improper fraction has not been converted completely to a mixed fraction. There is still an integer value that can be moved across from the fractional part to the integer part.
What happens if your numerator is bigger then your denominator?
It is then an improper or 'top heavy' fraction
What happens when you multiply a fraction by a fraction?
Just multiply straight through. Numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator. a/b * c/d = ac/bd ======
What happens when you multiply both a numerator and a denominator of a fraction by 4?
You will get an equivalent fraction.
What happens to the fraction if the denominator and numerator are increased by the same amount?
Assuming a proper fraction which is positive (value between 0 and 1), it increases; asymptotically tending to 1 as the amounts that you increase by become larger. If it is negative you must select a negative numerator and a positive denominator. Then it behaves as above. Otherwise you could hit division by 0.
What happens when the denominator of a fraction increases?
The fraction gets smaller.
What happens to the fraction as the denominator decreases?
The value of the fraction increases.
What happens when you multiply the numerator and denominator in a fraction by nine?
You get an equivalent fraction which is not in its reduced (or simplest) form.
What happens when you multiply both the numerator and denominator of a fraction by 4?
The value of the fraction remains unchanged
