What else can I help you with?
Explain how comparing fractions with like denominators differs from comparing fractions with unlike denominators?
Because when you compare fractions with the same denominators, you do not have to find the least common denominator (LCM or LCD).
Is 6.52 a rational number please explain?
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.
What is the easiest way to understand the equivalent fractions worksheets?
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.
How do you explain a method to compare fractions?
Convert them to decimals and order them least to greatest.
How do you explain to write the whole number 4 as a fraction?
It is simply: 4/1 as an improper fraction
Explain how comparing fractions with like denominators differs from comparing fractions with unlike denominators?
Because when you compare fractions with the same denominators, you do not have to find the least common denominator (LCM or LCD).
How do you explain to kids why you have to have common denominators before adding fractions?
you can't add a pear to apples to see how many apples you have
Can you explain adding and subtracting fractions with like denominators?
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
Explain how you can decide which of two fractions is greater?
Find the lowest common denominator. Once their denominators are the same, the one with the larger numerator is the largest.
When two fractions refer to the same whole and have the same denominators explain why you can compare only the numerators?
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.
How can you explain putting fraction in order?
You cannot put a single fraction is order. A number of fractions can be put in order, usually from the smallest to the largest.
Explain why you cannot add fractions with unlike denominators?
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.
Why is a quarter plus a quarter a half .How can I explain this to someone in fractions?
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.
Do fractions represent comparasion If so explain how or why?
A proper fraction can represent a comparison between a part (the numerator) and the whole (the denominator).
Explain how the factors can be used to work out what fraction of a full turn is 40 degrees?
explain how the fractions can be used to work out what frction of a full turn iss 40 degrees
Why should there be percentages when a number can be expressed as a fraction or a decimal?
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!
What is LCD Expand and Explain?
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.
