NO!!!!

When dividing fractions the steps to take are : -

#1 ; Convert to Improper Fractions.

#2 ; Very Important ; change the sign to multiply and invert(turn over) the right hand fraction.

#3 Then proceed as for multiplication.

e.g.

2 1/2 divide 3/4 =

5/2 divide 3/4

= 5/2 X 4/3 NOTE what has happened.

Cancel down by '2'

5/1 x 2/3

10/3

3 1/3 The answer.

How do you put different fractions in increasing order?

Option 1: Find a common denominator for the two fractions. It need not be the least common denominator; for example, for two fractions, if you just multiply the two denominators, you get a common denominator. Convert all the fractions to the common denominator. Then you can compare. Option 2: Convert each fraction to decimal, by dividing the numerator by the denominator. Then you can compare the decimals.

How do you order fractions from least to greatist?

Two ways: You can find a common denominator, convert them to equivalent fractions and line up the numerators or you can convert them to decimals by dividing the denominator into the numerator and line them up numerically. The second way is easier.


Adding unlike fractions?

If the denominators are not the same, then you have to use equivalent fractions which do have a common denominator . To do this, you need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of the two denominators. To add fractions with unlike denominators, rename the fractions with a common denominator. Then add and simplify.
