3/40 and 5/24
you have to multiply numerators and denominators because whatever you do to the bottom you have to do to the top
Yes because the numerators add up to equal a whole number which is 1
To multiply fractions you multiply together the numerators(top) and place it on the top. Then multiply the denominators and place it on the bottom. # Then if possible cancel down (reduce). e.g. 2/3 X 5/3 = 10/9 This does NOT reduce but can be converted to a mixed number , 10/9 = 1 1/9
first you get the denominators the same then you multiply the number you multiplied to the denominator to the numerator then you add the two numerators together and keep the denominators the same then if needed you simplify

10/3 written as a mixed number in simplest form is 3 1/3 (you can check this answer) 3+(1/3) get common denominators (9/3)+(1/3) add the numerators 10/3 It is: 10/3 = 3 and 1/3
First, unmix the numbers ((denominator times whole number plus numerator) over denominator). Then multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. The numerator of the product is the product of the numerators of all of the multiplicands, and the denominator of the product is the product of the denominators of all of the multiplicands. Third, simplify.
You need common denominators. Then add or subtract the numerators. If the answer is an improper fraction it is common practice to reduce it to a mixed number.
Numerators and denominators are just numbers; I hope you're not asking us to factor every number. There are many different methods. I prefer to find the prime factorization; that leads to all the other factors. Some people like to use a factor tree to help visualize the prime factorization.
Yes, it is possible for two fractions greater than 1 with different numerators and denominators to be renamed as the same mixed number. This can happen when the fractions are equivalent, meaning they represent the same value. To determine if two fractions can be renamed as the same mixed number, you need to simplify them to their simplest form and then compare them to see if they are equal.
-- Find a common denominator. (It will be a number of which all three denominators are factors. The best choice is their least common multiple.) -- Change the fractions to their equivalents with the common denominator. -- Then add their numerators to get the numerator of their sum.
