Oh honey, bless your heart. In a fraction, the y doesn't go over the x like a cowboy riding off into the sunset. The y is the numerator on top, and the x is the denominator on the bottom. It's math, not a rodeo.
If the mixed number is x y/z then the improper fraction is (xz + y)/z
Like this 1/2 = 2/4 = 3/6 = 4/8 = 5/10 = 6/12 = 7/14 = 8/16 =9/18 = 10/20 = 11/22 = 12/24 = 50/100 = 931/1862A fraction, such as x/y can be written as x*(1/y)
The expression XYZ is not a fraction. If you triple X and triple Y then XYZ becomes 9 times as large. (It is tripled, then tripled again.)
Division by a fraction is equivalent to multiplication by its reciprocal. That isk / (x/y) = k * (y/x)
Yes - any proper fraction x/y is a rational number. Expressed as a decimal, this is equal to 0.4 recurring (that is, 0.44444...)
Suppose you have the improper fraction X/Y.Divide X by Y and suppose the answer is M and N/Y. Then the fraction X/Y is between M and M+1.
5/4
if the numbers are x and y we know that x/y = 0.8 and y = x + 4. So x = 0.8 y y = 0.8 y +4 0.2 y = 4 y = 20 x = 16 The fraction is 16 / 20.
For a mixed fraction, you need an improper fraction, that is, a fraction whose numerator is larger than its denominator. So suppose the fraction is x/y where x > y.Then divide x by y: that is x/y = q with a remainder r.Then the mixed fraction for x/y is q r/y.[Actually you need a numerator whose absolute value is greater than the positive denominator, but the fact that you ask this question suggests that you are nowhere near ready to go there.]
A mixed fraction in the form X Y/Z = (X*Z + Y)/Z.
I understand you want [(2/x) + (1/y)] as a single fraction. The common denominator is (xy): 2/x = (2y)/(xy); and 1/y = x/(xy), so the answer is (2y + x) / (xy)
Take any fraction x/y and multiple that by it's reciprical, y/x. The result is x*y/x*y, or one. so any positive fraction multiplied by it's reciprical is one. hope that helped :)
Given an improper fraction of the from x/y where x and y are integers and x>=y>0,let x = q*y + r [q is the quotient and r the remainder when x is divided by y].Then x/y = (q*y + r)/y = q + r/yFor mathematically inclined people who wish to cover all bases for the assumptions that x>=y>0If y is negative, then the numerator and denominator of the fraction can be multiplied by -1 to give an equivalent fraction; except that now y > 0.If 0 < x < y then q = 0 so that x/y is a proper fraction and so there is no mixed number.If x < 0 then swap with -x (which will be >0), calculate the mixed number and put a negative sign in front of the answer.
If you have a rate of X of one thing per Y of another, you divide X by Y and then try to rename the resulting fraction so that both X and Y are whole numbers.
(y-y)/(x-x) is very simple. y-y is obviously 0. The same goes for x-x. This results in a final fraction of 0/0. This could be considered 1 because if you think about it like 2/2=1, then you would get 0/0 =1 since the numerator and the denominator are the same. It could also be considered 0 because the numerator is 0 which obviously means there is nothing.However, the answer to this is "undefined" because anything divided by 0 is undefined.
To convert a mixed number to an improper fraction, multiply the denominator by the whole number, add that total to the numerator and put the whole thing over the original denominator.
The inverse of a fraction is simple the result of flipping it's denominator with its numerator. It is equivalent to the statement (x/y)^-1 = y/x
