What are non examples of like fractions?

Answer 1

non examples of like fractions = fractions that are not equal in value to other fractions. For example: 1/2 and 3/4. 1/2=.5 and 3/4=.75 since .5 does not equal .75, then 1/2 & 3/4 are not "like fractions" (see below for a summary of like fractions).

Additional Info.:

Like fraction examples:

1/2 & 2/4 (both fractions = the decimal value .5)

1/8 & 3/24 (both fractions = the decimal value .125)

A "like fraction" is a fraction that has the same decimal value as another fraction.

For example: 1/2 and 2/4 both = the decimal value .5

The easiest way to create a like fraction is to use a fraction that has a decimal value of 1. Simply multiple it times another fraction to create a like fraction.

For example:

Using 2/2 (which = decimal value 1), you get 2/4 as follows:

2/2 * 1/2 = 2/4 = .5

Note: 2/2 is used to create the "like fraction" 2/4. 2/4 and 1/2 are the "like fractions" because they both = the decimal value .5

You can use any fraction that is = to decimal value 1, for example:

200/200 * 1/2 = 200/400 = .5

200/400 & 1/2 are the "like fractions" that both have a .5 decimal value.

You should remember this fact because it is used frequently in algebra and higher math.
