Can you multiply the numerator and denominator of a fraction by 0?

You can, but the result would be 0/0 which is not defined.


What is the number written above the line in a fraction?

That would be the numerator. The numerator is above the denominator. The numerator divided by the denominator would be equal to the quotient. So, numerator/denominator = quotient


How do you divide signed numbers?

Essentially the same way as you would do an ordinary division.If the numerator and denominator have the same sign then the answer is positive.If the numerator and denominator have different signs then the answer is negative.Essentially the same way as you would do an ordinary division.If the numerator and denominator have the same sign then the answer is positive.If the numerator and denominator have different signs then the answer is negative.Essentially the same way as you would do an ordinary division.If the numerator and denominator have the same sign then the answer is positive.If the numerator and denominator have different signs then the answer is negative.Essentially the same way as you would do an ordinary division.If the numerator and denominator have the same sign then the answer is positive.If the numerator and denominator have different signs then the answer is negative.


When do mulitilpy the numerator by the denominator?

There is normally no occasion when you would need to multiply the numerator and denominator of a fraction.


When do you multiply a numerator and a denominator?

If you have a fraction and both the numerator and the denominator are negative and you simplify it would the numerator and denominator stay negative?

The simplification will be positive. In other words, the numerator and the denominator will NOT stay negative.


Do you minus the denominator?

Do you mean like when you're trying to calculate the value of a variable? You divide the numerator by the denominator? If the operation involves subtracting a numerator from a denominator, then you would be subtracting the numerator.


How can you add two fractions with denominators of 10 and end up with a sum whose denominator is 5?

A fraction with denominator 10 must have an odd numerator for otherwise its numerator and denominator would have 2 as a common factor and it would be simplified so that it would no longer have 10 as a denominator. So you are adding two odd numerators, both with 10 as the denominator. The sum of two odds is always even, so the result will be an even sum with 10 as the denominator. So in the answer, 2 is a common factor of the numerator and denominator and the answer can be simplified. If there is no other common factor, then the answer must have a denominator of 5.


Do you divide the denominator by the numerator?

Normally you would not.


How do you multiply numerators and denominators by the same number?

I assume you're talking about multiplying the numerator and denominator by the same number in the case that you're trying to give two fractions common denominators. If you're multiplying 1/4 and 3/8 you first have to make them have a common denominator. The lowest common denominator would be eighths so you would multiply both the numerator and denominator of 1/4 by 2, which gives you 2/8. Then you would proceed to multiply both fractions together, Numerator x Numerator and Denominator x Denominator. The end result of this would be 6/64 which can be reduced to 3/32.


Can the numerator be bigger than the denominator in fractions?

Yes But then you would have to divide the denominator into the numerator and get a mixed number ,then simply 6:4


Mix number to improper fraction?

You multiply the whole number by the denominator, then whatever that answer is you add the nominator to it. Then that's your new nominator. But the denominator in the mixed number is still the denominator.
