Why in improper fraction the numerator is greater than denominator?
That is why it is called an improper fraction because a proper or a common fraction always has its numerator less than its denominator.
Describe how finding the greatest common factor of the numerator and denominator of a fraction can help reduce the fraction?
5/7 is a fraction in its simplest form. To create an equivalent fraction it is necessary to multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the same integer. The opposite is also true. To reduce an equivalent fraction to its simplest form, it is necessary to divide both the numerator and the denominator by the same integer. 20/28 is an equivalent fraction of 5/7. It is possible to reduce 20/28 to 10/14 by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 2, but that is not the simplest form. 10/14 can be reduced to 5/7 by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 2 again. To ensure that an equivalent fraction is reduced to its simplest form, it is necessary to divide by the largest factor that is part of both of them. Another term for this the Greatest Common Factor, or GCF.
How could you use the relationship between the numerator and denominator of fractions equivalent to one-half to determine if a fraction is less than one-half?
If a fraction is equivalent to one-half then the numerator is always half the denominator. Or, the double the numerator is the denominator. So, given any other fraction, p/q, if 2p < q then the fraction < 1/2 if 2p = q then the fraction = 1/2 if 2p > q then the fraction > 1/2
Is a mixed fraction bigger than a regular fraction?
Yes it is. A regular fraction is a fraction where the numerator is smaller than the denominator, thus the value of the fraction will always be less than one. Note that a fraction with it's numerator bigger than the denominator does not count as a regular fraction; it is called a improper fraction. Whereas a mixed fraction is a regular fraction with a whole number at the left that is at least one. Thus, the value of a mixed fraction will always be more than one.
How do you unsimplified a fraction?
To unsimplify a fraction, you need to find an equivalent fraction with a larger denominator. This is typically done by multiplying both the numerator and denominator of the fraction by the same number. By doing so, you can expand the fraction to a form that may be more familiar or easier to work with. Remember that the value of the fraction remains the same, even after unsimplifying it.
When you write a fraction in simplest form the numerator and denominator always or never have 1 as their only common factor?
Always
What do you do when there is no GCF of a fraction?
There is always a GCF, even if it's only 1. If the GCF of the numerator and the denominator is 1, the fraction is already in its simplest form.
What is a denominator and numerator on a fraction?
On a fraction: 1 <---------numerator ------- 2 <------------denominator Remember that the "D"enominator is always "D"own on the bottom.
Why in improper fraction the numerator is greater than denominator?
That is why it is called an improper fraction because a proper or a common fraction always has its numerator less than its denominator.
Is the numerator the top or bottom of a fraction?
The numerator is on top. The bottom is the denominator. I always remember D for down (denominator)
Is 9 over 9 an improper fraction?
Yes. If the numerator (on top) is higher or equal to the denominator (bottom) than its an improper fraction. If the numerator and denominator are the same then the fraction is considered a whole number and always comes out 1. If the numerator is higher than the denominator then you must divide the numerator by the denominator.
What to do to put ucts in lowest terms?
To put a fraction in lowest terms, first identify the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator. Then, divide both the numerator and the denominator by their GCD. If the GCD is 1, the fraction is already in its simplest form. Always ensure that the denominator is not zero, as this is undefined.
Is a fraction with a numerator that is greater then or equal to the denominator?
the numerator always has to be less than the denominator and if its equal like 5 to 5 that is 1
When you divide the numerator of a fraction by the denominator you always get a decimal that ends?
Not necessarily.
What is the simalarites betweenproer and improper fractions?
Both proper and improper fractions have a numerator and a denominator. In a proper fraction the numerator is always less than the denominator. In an improper function the numerator is greater than the denominator
