You need to answer this question because your teacher is looking for your critical thinking skills and how well you understood the lesson.
Because when you compare fractions with the same denominators, you do not have to find the least common denominator (LCM or LCD).
6.52 is a rational number because it can be expressed as a fraction in the form of 163/25 whereas irrational numbers can't be expressed as fractions.
The difference is that they equivalent fractions worksheets have graphics and explain the concepts in easier to understand language. I find them to be an easier and fun way to introduce and explain fractions.
Convert them to decimals and order them least to greatest.
It is simply: 4/1 as an improper fraction
Because when you compare fractions with the same denominators, you do not have to find the least common denominator (LCM or LCD).
you can't add a pear to apples to see how many apples you have
When you add or subtract fractions with like denominators, you just add or subtract the numerators and put them over the same denominator. For example, 3/5 - 2/5 = (3 - 2)/5 = 1/5
Find the lowest common denominator. Once their denominators are the same, the one with the larger numerator is the largest.
When two fractions have the same denominator, they represent parts of the same whole. Since the denominator indicates how many equal parts the whole is divided into, a larger numerator signifies a larger portion of those equal parts. Therefore, comparing the numerators directly tells us which fraction represents a greater or lesser amount of the whole, making it unnecessary to consider the denominators.
You cannot put a single fraction is order. A number of fractions can be put in order, usually from the smallest to the largest.
You can totally add fractions with unlike denominators. You have to first find the LCD (least common denominator) to make them the same denomintars. And then you can just simply add them. What you cannot do is add fractions with unlike denominators without changing them to fractions with like denominators. The reason being that you would be attempting to add fractions that are different sizes. 1/2 is not the same size as 1/3, so it would be like trying to add apples and oranges. You have to change them to a common size and that is the reason you have to find the least common denominator first. While you cannot add 1/2 and 1/3, you can add 3/6 and 2/6.
1/4 + 1/4 = 2/4. If the denominators are equal, you simply add the numerators. 2/4 = 1/2. To simplify a fraction, you can divide numerator and denominator (top and bottom part) by the same number, in this case, 2.
A proper fraction can represent a comparison between a part (the numerator) and the whole (the denominator).
explain how the fractions can be used to work out what frction of a full turn iss 40 degrees
Decimals and percentages are easier to compare than fractions - particularly if they are unlike fractions. That does not explain why percentages are required when we have decimal number and there is no good answer to that!
LCD, in arithmetic, is the lowest common denominator. Given a set of rational fractions, it is the smallest integer which each of the denominators will go into evenly.
