How would we do it well remember a unit fraction always has one as a numerator. So 2/3 would be 1/3 plus 1/3. These are the unit fractions. It's got a 1 is a numerator all right 5/6 would be a 1 6.

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.
Can any fraction be expressed as the sum of two unit fraction?
Yes, but only if negative unit fractions are included.For example 3/7 = 1/2 - 1/14but I do not think there are positive unit fractions that will do.Yes, but only if negative unit fractions are included.For example 3/7 = 1/2 - 1/14but I do not think there are positive unit fractions that will do.Yes, but only if negative unit fractions are included.For example 3/7 = 1/2 - 1/14but I do not think there are positive unit fractions that will do.Yes, but only if negative unit fractions are included.For example 3/7 = 1/2 - 1/14but I do not think there are positive unit fractions that will do.
How are all unit fractions alike and different?
Unit fractions all have the same numerators but the denominators can be different.
Is it true that ancient Egyptians thought that all fractions could be written as unit fractions?
No. They thought that all fractions could be expressed as combinations of unit fractions. They and other ancients may have thought that any fraction could be wretten as a combination of unit fractions, but according to wikipedia they (ancient Egyptians) had special symbols for 2/3 and 3/4 and even had a papyrus used by scribes that listed the equivalents for 2/n, so they did not always write fractions as this combination of unit fractions. Does your question mean a combination of unit fractions, or as a unit fraction?
What is a unit in fractions?
A unit = 1 = 1/1 in fraction form.
What are the unit fractions for 78?
78/1
What is a unit rate where the the denominator is one unit?
its always going to be in the denominator of 2 fractions.
What is added to the base unit to show multiples or fractions of that unit?
an exponent
How are unit fractions alike?
All of them have a numerator of 1.
Do unit fractions always have a numerator of 1?
Yes they do
Fractions that have the same denominator?
yes!! it is called unit fraction
What are fractions with the numerator 1 called?
A unit fraction is a rational number written as a fraction where the numerator is one and the denominator is a positive integer. A unit fraction is therefore the reciprocal of a positive integer, 1/n.
In Ancient Rome what unit of weight was made as a basis for writing fractions?
They were based on the unit of weight which was called the ''as''.
