Using the fraction 46 which number is the denominator?
using the fraction 4/6, which number is the denominator? or 46/1 in which case 1 would be the denom
How do you do Egyptian fractions?
its just using fractions but not more than once to make other fractions
How do you write 7 3rds as a mixed number?
Divide 7 by 3, using integer division. Write the result (which must be an integer) as the whole number. Write the remainder as the numerator, over the number 3 which is the denominator.
What are the rules for adding and subtracting positive and negative fractions with different denominators?
first must find Least Common Denominator http://www.loisterms.com/lois21.htm First of all, if you want to know about adding fractions, check out "How to Add Fractions". Be sure to follow the math examples carefully. To subtract fractions, follow the same steps as for adding, except subtract where you would add. Now about those positive and negative signs. The rules are the same whether you are working with integers or fractions. I will give you a method of learning the rules for the signs that has worked for many other students. Copy off this "Rules for Integers" chart and paste it on a large index card. Put the card in your math book or folder and refer to it often while you are doing your homework. If you keep using the card, you will get better with the signs.
How do you divide using simplest form?
you need to divide the denominator too.
How do you compare fractions using a number line?
by looking at the denominator
What is the difference between a least common multiple and a least common denominator?
The Least (or Lowest) Common Multiple (LCM) is the smallest number that is a multiple of both numbers. For example: the LCM of 10 and 4 is 20, because both 10 and 4 go into 20 and 20 is the smallest number both 10 and 4 can go into. To be able to add or subtract fractions they must have the same denominator. If the denominators are different then the fractions must first be converted into equivalent fractions with a common denominator; any common denominator can be used, but by using the Least Common Multiple of the denominators as the new denominator it keeps the numbers smaller; this smallest denominator is known as the Least Common Denominator Thus the Least Common Denominator is the Least Common Multiple of the denominators of two (or more) fractions (used when adding or subtracting fractions with different denominators). As the Least Common Multiple is used most often with adding or subtracting fractions, it is often referred to as the Least Common Denominator (because the numbers being considered are usually denominators of fractions).
When adding fractions with unlike denominators it is most helpful if the fractions are renamed using the?
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.
How do you add and subtract fractions with no common denominator?
You convert them to equivalent fractions with the a common denominator. This new denominator must be a common multiple of the denominators. The Least Common Multiple (LCM) may be a recommendation but is not necessary. However, using the LCM will keep all the numbers as small as possible and that may be an advantage.
how to rename fractions using LCM?
When adding or subtracting fractions with different denominators their lowest common denominator must be found first by using the LCM of their denominators
How do you compare fractions using greater or less than or equal?
the lower number for the denominator greater the number is.
Why do you need a common denominator when you add fractions?
Unless you are using a calculator that adds them for you, it is much harder to add fractions with uncommon denominators. Having the same denominator allows you to only have to add the numerators for your answer.
How can knowing the greatest common factor and least common multiple help you when you add subtract and multiply fractions?
Knowing the least common multiple of the denominators will help you find a common denominator when adding and subtracting unlike fractions. Knowing the greatest common factor of the numerator and the denominator will help you reduce the fraction if possible.
What is nine and one thrid times eight and one eighth?
17 11/24 (seventeen and eleven twenty forths) to work out find a common denominator in the lower part of the fraction( a number that both 3 and 8 is divisible by) convert the fractions using the common denominator and then add the figures excluding the common denominator
What does find the common denominator for the fraction pairs mean?
It means find the LCM of the denominators. In order to add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators, it is necessary to convert them to equivalent fractions with a common denominator. Example: 1/4 + 1/6 The LCM of 4 and 6 is 12. 1/4 = 3/12 1/6 = 2/12
Equivalent fractions using least common denominator?
In order to add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators, it is necessary to convert them to equivalent fractions with a common denominator. Example: 1/4 + 1/6 The LCM of 4 and 6 is 12. 1/4 = 3/12 1/6 = 2/12
How do you add fractions using the least common denomanator?
Ok. First you make sure the denominator (bottom number) is the same on all the fractions. The easiest way to do this is to multiply the denominators together, then multiply each numerator by the opposite fractions denominator. This is the easiest way to do this, you will simplify later. ONLY DO THIS IF THE DENOMINATORS ARE DIFFERENT. If they are the same just add the numerators together to get your fraction. Then simplify.
