I think you round the numberator to the nearest number it could be divided into and go from there.

How can you put a fraction into its simplest form?
divide the top and the bottom by their GCF(Greatest Common Factor) the gcf is the highest number that 2 or more numbers have in common have fun with math (OK before who ever wrote this is stupid because she cant even giv us the answer)
What is an irrational number between 5 to 10?
An irrational number is a number that cannot be expressed as a fraction. So whole numbers and fractions are out. You can then just make a number like 6.34298374923743333333. You put a bar over the 3 so it repeats, and the number cant be expressed as a fraction, makin git an irrational number.
How do you know if you need to rename the first number in a subtraction problem involving mixed numbers?
If the second fraction is larger than the fist fraction.You cant take a larger amount away from a small amount.-I am a sixth grader
Is 0.151155111555.Rational Or Irrational?
This number is rational as 0.151155111555 = 151155111555 / 1000000000000 = 151291 / 1000899 if 0.151155111555 is the beginning of the number 0.151155111555111155551111155555.... then it's irrational as the decimals are not repeating and the sequence is infinite
How do you solve equations approximately?
You have to isolate your variable to one side of the equation. Add, subtract, multiply, and divide when necessary. Sometimes you will get an approximate answer. This means you cant show all of the decimals. For exmaple lets say your variables equals 1/3. Well you cant possibly write 3 infinite because 1/3=0.333 (with infinite 3s). So you write approximately equal to 0.333 Also when you have a variable that is equal to pi (3.14159... etc) you cant possibly write the infinite amount of decimals for this so you write 3 or 4 decimals and then make sure you indicate it is approximate and not equal.
How do you write a fraction to the lowest form?
you divide both the numerator and the denominator by a number they both go into and you keep dividing until you cant anymore.
How do you determine if a fraction is in simplest form?
if the fraction's numerator and denominator cant be divided by any number remembber both numerator and denominator must be divided by the same number
What are the steps for finding the simplest form of a fraction?
divide the numerator (top) and denominator (bottom) by the same thing. do this until you cant do it any more. once you can't, your fraction is in simplest form.
How do you simplify a mixed number with improper fraction?
Divide the denominator (bottom number) into the whole number , and then add that to the numerator (top number) . if you cant sinplify, leave it...
What is the number called that is being divided in division?
Well, when you divide you get fraction, the thing above the line is called your numerator and the thing below your line is called the denominator. Then, your numerator is divided by you denominator. For example, 10/2 where 10 is your numerator and 2 is your denominator this mean 10 divided by 2 =5
How do you know when you cant simplify a fraction anymore?
When the numerator and the denominator are co-prime: that is, their highest common factor is 1.
How do you convert fractions to simple forms?
Divide them each by the same number. Ex. 2/4 can be divided by 2 each so you get 1/2. If you cant divide the numerator and the denominator by the same number then the fraction is already at it`s simplest form!
Why cant you add the numerator and denominator?
You can but it makes no mathematical sense.
Why cant you compare the denominator but you can compare the numerator?
You can compare the denominators.If the numerators are the same, the fraction with the bigger denominator has the smaller value.You can compare the denominators.If the numerators are the same, the fraction with the bigger denominator has the smaller value.You can compare the denominators.If the numerators are the same, the fraction with the bigger denominator has the smaller value.You can compare the denominators.If the numerators are the same, the fraction with the bigger denominator has the smaller value.
How do you find a percent when the denominator cant be timed to get 100?
Divide the numerator by the denominator, and express your answer as a decimal. Now multiply by 100 and put on the % sign. Example: What percent is 7/8? Divide 7 by 8 to get 0.875. Multiply by 100 to get 87.5 and add the % sign to get 87.5%.
How do you reduce fractions to the simplest form?
find a number that does into the top and bottom number evenly. then divide. when it cant be divided any more then it is in simplest form.....
How do you change a fraction to a improper fraction?
Well, you cant put just any fraction into a improper fraction it has to be a mixed number like 9 and 4/10 first you multiply 10 by 9 and then add 4, that is your numerator(top), the denominator(bottom) is still 10 so it would be 94/10. hope this helps!
