What is the sum of three fractions with odd numerators is never one half?
A true statement.
What can You noticE about comparing 2 fractions when the numerators are the same?
The larger fraction is the one with the smaller denominator, when the numerators are the same.
How can one multiply fractions without a calculator?
You multiply the numerators across and put that as the numerator of your answer, then multiply the denominators of the fractions across the put that as the denominator of your answer. It is very easy.
How do you know that one fraction is bigger than the other?
Convert them to equivalent fractions with a common denominator and compare the numerators.
What do you notice when the denominators in two fractions are the same?
You can represent the two fractions with one fraction with a numerator equal to the sum of the two individual numerators (with sign) and a denominator equal to just one of the two denominators.
Why is reciprocal of a fraction less than 1 is always greater than 1?
Proper fractions are less than one.. Their numerators re less than their denominators. Their reciprocals have numerators greater than their denominators, making them improper. Improper fractions are greater than 1.
What is one and two thirds times one and three quarters?
To do the multiplication, in cases like this, it is easiest to convert both fractions to improper fractions: (1 2/3) x (1 3/4) = (5/3) x (7/4). Now multiply the numerators and the denominators.
How are equivalent fractions used in renaming when subtracting?
When subtracting one fraction to another, one or both fractions are renamed so that they have the same denominators. Then the result of the subtraction is the equal to the subtraction of the numerators divided by the common denominator.
How do you compare fractions with same denominator but different numerators?
If the denominators are the same, the one with the greater numerator is greater.
How do you figure out how to do the math to one fourth of one third?
To calculate one fourth of one third, multiply the numerators and multiply the denominators. the numerators of both fractions are 1, and 1 x 1 = 1. The denominators are 4 and 3, and 4 x 3 = 12. Thus, a fourth of a third is a twelfth.
How do you add or subtract dissimilar fractions?
You first convert them to similar fractions, i.e., to fractions that have the same denominator.* Step one: find a common denominator.* Step two: convert both fractions to equivalent fractions that have that denominator.
How do you subtract fractions from one?
Change 1 to a fraction and subtract the numerators. EXAMPLE: 1 - 2/5 = 5/5 - 2/5 = 3/5
