because they are going to have the same denominator.
For addition, subtraction, division and multiplication with other fractions
Because common denominators allow adding and subtracting of numerators. Improper fractions also have simplified rules over mixed numbers when performing multiplication and division.
Change them into mixed numbers and add the integers and fractions together ensuring that the fractions have a common denominator.
Convert them to improper fractions and proceed the same way you would multiply two fractions.
Change the mixed numbers into improper fractions and carry out the calculations accordingly
You change them into improper or topheavy fractions.
Some numbers are improper fractions and some are not. For example, 1/2 or 0.5 is a number but not an improper fraction. And there is no way in which you can express it as an improper fraction.
you do what makes sense given the numbers, if the fractions work out beautifully, you can just leave them as mixed numbers, otherwise it's best to keep them as improper fractions
You change the mixed number into an inproper fraction.
Proper fractions are less than 1, so they can't change into whole numbers. Some improper fractions can change into whole numbers. 4/2 = 2 Most improper fractions change into mixed numbers (a whole number with a fraction) To change an improper fraction to a mixed number, divide the denominator into the numerator. The result is the whole number. The remainder gets put over the original denominator. 22/7 = 3 and 1/7
Change them to improper fractions and double them.
