A fraction in which the numerator and denominator represent the same amount but are in different units?
What is a fraction in which the numerator and denominator represent the same amount but are in different units?
Fraction with different units in the numerator and denominator?
This could be any fraction where the denominator and the numerator are different. For example, 1/2, 3/7, 15/8......and so on. In algebraic terms this would be written x/y where x ≠ y
A fraction whose numerator and denominator represent the same quantity but use different units?
A unit conversion ratio
Shall numerator and denominator in a fraction should be on the same unit of measurement or they can be on different unit of measurement?
In a fraction they must be in the same units. In a ratio they need not be.
How do you convert height to inches?
Multiply it by a fraction that has a certain number of inches in the numerator and the same length as the numerator but in the units of the given height in the denominator. The original units cancel out, and you're left with inches. If the numerator and denominator of a fraction are equal, the fraction is equal to 1, and multiplying something by 1 does not change its value.

How are fraction units different?
They usually have a denominator of 1 although numerators of 1 are also possible.

How many different ways can you show or expreess a fraction in math?
There are three main ways to express a fraction: as a fraction, and improper number, or as a decimal. A fraction follows the syntax a/b where b is the units (halfs, quarters, twenty-thirds) being expressed and a is the number of units that the fraction represents. An improper fraction can be created when the numerator is greater than the denominator, allowing us to take the value of the denominator out of the numerator allowing us to bring the number of times we were able to remove the denominator from the numerator outside the fraction (e.i. 5/4 = 1 1/4 or 9/4 = 2 1/4). A decimal expression of a fraction can be created by simply dividing the numerator of the fraction by the denominator (i.e. 2/3 = 0.667).
How do you convert from one unit to another in a different system?
Write the conversion as a fraction. Then multiply the numerator and denominator across, then cancel any units that are both top and bottom.
What does a numerator tell you?
The numerator tells you how many of the denominator units you have.
How do you rewrite the fraction 60cm over 1m so that the numerator and the denominator have the same units?
1.6ocm {100cm} 3/5

How are the numerator denominator in a conversion factor related?
I had to find this out for chemisty...an d i couldn't find the answer but i did find "a conversion factor is a fraction whose numerator and denominator are the same quantity expressed in different units." This may help but idk. If you have a white chemistry book with a yellow triangle then its on page 25.Hope this helps! ☺
