1/2 = 10/20, for example.
you flip the last (second) fraction, and then you change the divide sign into a times sign. You can then times the fractions from there. You do not need the same denominator to times fractions.
Like fractions are the fractions which have the same denominator and unlike fractions are the fractions which do not have the same denominator.
The best way is to divide the answer by one of the fractions. If the answer is the other fraction then you are OK. If not, you've made a mistake somewhere.It is often no good going over the same procedure a second time because you are liable to make the same mistake again.
Invert (flip) the second one, and then multiply them.
The answer is obtained by dividing the first numerator by the second.
Take any fraction. Multiply the numerator and the denominator by the same number (not zero). That will give you a second fraction that will have the same value as the first one.
Like Fractions
Yes, but only if the two fractions are the same or equivalent fractions (other than 0).
Fractions with the same numerator are called like fractions
Fractions that are equivalent have the same values when simplified.
In order to divide fractions there is a method called the "Kiss and Flip". Basically, two fractions divided by one another is the same thing as one fraction multiplied by the inverse of the second. We will use the fractions 1/5 and 1/4 as our examples...A) 1/5 / 1/4(these are your two fractions)B) 1/5 / 1/4 (the fractions "Kiss" a.k.a. come together in one equation)C) 1/5 X 4/1 (and the second fraction "flips". When the second fraction flips the division sign becomes a multiplication sign)D) 1/5 x 4/1 = 4/5 (at this point you multiply the numerators straight across and then the denominators. This is your answer!)
fractions having same denominators are like fractions & others are unlike fractions
