How do you find a fraction between each pair of fractions given?
Given any pair of fractions fractions, a/b and c/d where b and d are positive, the fraction (a+c)/(b+d) lies between them (though not exactly halfway).
How do you find equivalent fractions for each fraction?
Multiply Or Divide Both The Numerator And The Denominator By The Same Number.
How do you divide mixed fractions by mixed fractions?
make each fraction a improper fraction the flip the second fraction and multiply straight across then simplify
Why do you need like denominators to add and subtract fractions?
Finding a common denominator makes it possible to add two fractions because it allows us to write each fraction as a multiple of a common (usually smaller) fraction. Subtracting fractions works the same way; find a common denominator so that the fractions involved are in the same terms.
How do you reduce fractions into lowest terms?
Find the GCF of the numerator and the denominator. Divide each of them by that number. If the GCF is 1, the fraction is already in its lowest terms.
