Is this what you mean ? ===> (1/10) + (2/10) + (7/10) = 1
The common denominator is 4
If you are talking about fractions, the denominator is the bottom number.
Two fractions are related when the denominator of one of the fraction is a multiple of the denominator of the other fraction. (Don't confuse with Like 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.
The common denominator of three fourths and one fifth is twenty. The fractions including the common denominator can look like this: 3/4 to 15/20 and 1/5 to 4/20. Hope this helps!! ^^
Rule #1 When two fractions have the same denominator, the bigger fraction is the one with the bigger numerator. Rule # 2 When comparing fractions that have the same numerator, the bigger fraction is the one with the smaller denominator. Rule # 3 You can convert the fractions and then just put the greater than, less than or equal to sign to see what the comparison is between the fractions.
3/12 and 8/12
With fractions, we call it the least common denominator. In this case, it's 12.
its always going to be in the denominator of 2 fractions.
"Regular" fractions have integers for the numerator and denominator. Complex fractions have fractions at one or both of those spots.
Just do the usual steps to add fractions. First, find the common denominator (8, in this case). Second, convert both fractions to the common denominator. Third, add the numerators.
Many places, but a common one is in adding fractions where we find a common denominator.
