so say you were multiplying 8 bye 2 it would equal 8 two times right? well, multipliying a whole number by a fraction is the same. if you times 8 by 1/2 it would be 8 a half a time (4) hope i helped ;)

How do you compare fractions using greater or less than or equal?
the lower number for the denominator greater the number is.
is nine over four proper or improper?
Proper fractions have a numerator (top number) that is smaller than it's denominator (lower number). Improper fractions are the opposite, so 9/4 is improper.
Are multiples higher or lower than the number?
Equal to and higher.
How do you compare fractions with unlike denominators?
You can cross multiply if there are two fractions to compare. EXAMPLE: 1 2 If you multiply the lower right # __________ = __________ by the upper left # you will get 4 for 2 4 the left side and if you multiply the lower left by the upper right you will 4 also. compare the numbers for each side and you get "equal to"
What is an improper fractions?
An improper fraction is one in which the numerator is equal to or larger than the denominator.A normal fraction has the top bit smaller than the lower bit like this:1/2With an improper fraction the top bit is larger than the lower bit like this:3/2an improper fraction is a high number over a lower number like 20-10=2-1* * * * *It is a number where the denominator (bottom) is smaller than the absolute value of the numerator (top).By the earlier definition, -3/2 would not not be an improper fraction because -3 is lower than 2 and so it is not a high number over a lower number.
what is irreducible?
An irreducible equation is an irreducible polynomial which is equal to zero. A polynomial is irreducible over a particular type of number if it cannot be factorised into the products of two or more lower degree polynomials with coefficients of that type of number. For example, the equation x2 + 1 =0 is irreducible over the real numbers; there are no lower order polynomials, containing only real coefficients, which could be multiplied together to give this equation.
What two numbers equal 250?
In all the world of mathematics, both higher and lower,there is no number equal to 250, except 250 .
What is the difference in proper fractions and improper fractions?
Proper fractions are factions with a numerator lower than the denominator but an improper fraction has a greater numerator than the denominator
How can you tell whether the sum of two fractions with a common denominator is greater than one?
A fraction is greater than one if the the top number (numerator) is greater than the lower number (denominator).

How do you get one third of 100?
You simply divide 100 by 3. For other fractions, multiply the number with the numerator (the upper part), and divide by the denominator (the lower part).
What is the lowest terms of 24?
Fractions and ratios sometimes need to be reduced to lower terms. Numbers never do. In fact, "lowest terms" is meaningless when you're talking about a number.
