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.

How does an improper fraction go between two whole numbers?

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.


If x equals two thirds and y equals five sixths what is the fraction of one over x and one over y?

5/4


What fraction is equivalent to 4 over 5 and has a denominator that is 4 more than its numerator?

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.


How do you express a fraction to mixed fraction?

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.]


How do you turn a mixed into a fraction?

A mixed fraction in the form X Y/Z = (X*Z + Y)/Z.


What is 2 over X plus 1 over Y simplified they are fractions?

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)


How do you describe a product of a positive fraction and its reciprocal?

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 :)


What is the improper fraction as a mixed number?

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.


How do you put a rate in a fraction form?

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.


How do you get from a fraction to a proportion?

A fraction, such as x/y is equivalent to the ratio (or proportion) of x:y

What does inverse fraction mean?

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
