Are the set of positive fractions closed under division?
Yes, because for any x and y that are positive fractions (y not equal to zero), x/y is also a positive fraction. Note that whole numbers are considered fractions with denominators of 1 -- otherwise it doesn't work.
How do you work out fraction sequences?
The answer depends on the nature of the sequence: there is no single method which will work for sequences which are arithmetic , geometric, exponential, or recursively defined.

Why is it important to change mixed number to improper fraction?
When you are multiplying with mixed number fractions, it becomes easier to work with improper fractions instead. For example, 2 1/3 x 1 1/2 (two and a third times one and a half) is 2 x 1 + 2 x 1/2 + 1/3 x 1 + 1/3 x 1/2 But with improper fractions, it's 7/3 x 3/2 = 7/2 = 3 1/2
How do scientist solve problem in scientific way?
Using the scientific method, scientists can work together to test different hypotheses and determine the best solution for the problem
Why does the butterfly method work in math?
What the butterfly method does is to make the fractions equivalent fractions with a new denominator (bottom number) the product of the original denominators (bottom numbers). Then to compare/add/subtract the fractions, the numerators (top numerators) can be compared/added/subtracted.Let the two fractions be a/b and c/d, then the new denominator is bd (b times d). Then the equivalent fractions are:a/b ⇒ (a x d)/(b x d) ⇒ ad/bdc/d ⇒ (b x c)/(b x d) ⇒ bc/bd
Why does the method of dividing fractions work?
This is related to the fact that dividing by a number is the same as multiplying with the number's reciprocal.
WHICH are groups that work together called?

How do accountants use fractions?
Accountants typically convert fractions to decimals. They do this by dividing the fractions and getting a decimal number. Decimals are easier to work with in accounting.
What algorithm will work for any two fractions?
Many of them.
What are mixed fractions and how do they work?
Mixed Fractions are fractions that have whole numbers and fractions on the side.If you are trying to change them into improper fractions you take the denominator of the fraction and multiply it by the whole number and keep the same numerator. ex.: 2 and one fourth =
