How do you change a fraction so they have the same denominator?
First, find a common denominator for the two (or more) fractions. Then, for each fraction, multiply numerator and denominator by the same number (different numbers for different fractions, though), to convert to the common denominator.
How is counting with fractions the same as counting with whole numbers?
You don't "count with fractions". Counting is done with natural numbers.
What are compatible numbers for fractions?
I am not entirely sure what you mean, but if you need to add, subtract, or compare two fractions, they need to have the same denominator.
How do you solve a fraction problem when you don't have the same denominator?
If you are adding or subtracting unlike fractions, convert them to equivalent fractions with a common denominator.
How do you multiply fractions with whole numbers?
So, pretend the whole number has a one under it. Then put them side by side and multipy. If it is a improper fraction (ex. 13 over 3) reduce it. OR do this: So, using the same example, 3 goes into 13 four times, with one left over, therefore it is 4 (how many times it goes in) with 1 (left over) over 3 (the number on the bottom stays the same. We learned this in math a few days ago.
How do you write mixed numbers into fractions?
You multiply the denominator by the whole number the add the numerator and you keep the denominator the same.
How is adding rational numbers different than adding whole numbers?
Whole numbers are rational numbers with a denominator of 1. The difference with general rational numbers is that the denominators are likely to be different and they must be made the same by converting the fractions into equivalent fractions with the same denominator before the addition can be done - by adding the numerators and keeping the denominator, and simplifying (if possible) the result. With whole numbers the denominators are already the same (as 1) and so the addition can be done straight away.
How do you reduce fractions with whole numbers?
first you divide the numerator by whatever number and the denominator by the same number and that is your answer.
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 =
How much is a whole in fractions?
A whole fraction is when the numerator and denominator have the same number.
Can all whole numbers be written as fractions?
Yes. Just write it with a denominator of 1. For example, 5 is the same as 5/1.
What are fractions that have the same denominator called?
Like Fractions
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 find the equal fractions?
Multiply the numerator and the denominator by the same whole number.
How do you compare fractions?
You can either convert fractions to decimals and compare the decimal numbers; find equivalent fractions with the same denominator and then compare numerators or find equivalent fractions with the same numerator and then compare denominators.
Why are whole numbers rational numbers use 15 as an example?
A rational number is a number written in the form of one whole number over another whole number (not_zero); this is the form of a fraction. A fraction is the same as the numerator (top number) divided by the denominator (the bottom number). If the denominator is 1, then all that is left after the division is the whole number numerator, for example: 15/1 = 15 ÷ 1 = 15 All whole numbers are equivalent to fractions with a denominator of 1. All fractions are rational numbers. Thus all whole numbers are rational numbers.
How do you change a fraction so they have the same denominator?
First, find a common denominator for the two (or more) fractions. Then, for each fraction, multiply numerator and denominator by the same number (different numbers for different fractions, though), to convert to the common denominator.
