I am not entirely sure what you mean with "clear". But if you want to get rid of fractions in an equation, you can multiply both sides of the equation by the least common multiple of the fractions. For example, take the equation:
(1/2)x + 3 = (1/5)x
If you multiply both sides by 10, you get:
5x + 30 = 2x

What are like and unlike fractions?
Like fractions are the fractions which have the same denominator and unlike fractions are the fractions which do not have the same denominator.
How do you solve all fractions problems?
You basically have to learn separately how to do different things with fractions, including finding a common denominator; converting fractions to a different denominator; simplifying fractions; adding and subtracting fractions; multiplying fractions; dividing fractions.
Fractions can be added and subtracted only if they're fractions?
We can only add or subtract fractions if they have the same denominators
Define equivalent fractions?
Equivalent fractions are fractions that have the same value as another fraction.
How is adding like fractions and adding unlike fractions the same?
If the denominators are not the same, then you have to use equivalent fractions which do have a common denominator . To do this, you need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of the two denominators. To add fractions with unlike denominators, rename the fractions with a common denominator. Then add and simplify.
When can you clear fractions by multiplying through by the LCD?
That process will do it every time.
Why should you clear fractions when solving liner equations and inequalities?
it often simplifies arithmetic
How do you do exponents with fractions?
The question depends on whether you mean the base is a fraction or the power. It is not clear from the question and the answer will depend on which it is.
When you are dividing two repeating decimals is it easier to add them as they are or to change them to fractions first?
It is not clear why you would wish to add them! Changing them to fractions is generally the better option because it averts rounding errors.
Why do you clear fractions in a linear equation?
Multiply every term in the equation by a common denominator of all the fractions. The least common denominator (if different) will result in smaller numbers that you then have to work with but it is not essential that you use it.
Why should you clear fractions to solve linear equalities?
You don't have to. Some people find that it makes subsequent calculations easier - but not all do.
What is the 3rd equivalent fraction to 1 over 2?
It is not clear how you would number fractions. I guess you want the answer as 3/6.
Why should you clear fractions and decimals when soloving linear equations?
There is absolutely no REQUIREMENT to do so. It is simply that many people prefer to work with whole numbers.
What are like and unlike fractions?
Like fractions are the fractions which have the same denominator and unlike fractions are the fractions which do not have the same denominator.
What are the differents types of fractions?
the different types of fractions are:-proper fractionimproper fractionmixed fraction
How do you change the dessimilar fractions to similar fractions?
to change dessimilar fractions to similar fractions you divide
What are types of fraction?
There are three types of fractions that are used in mathematics. The three types of fractions are, mixed fractions, proper fractions, and improper fractions.
