What is the difference between dissimilar fraction and proper fraction?
A proper fraction is one fraction in which the numerator is smaller than the denominator. Dissimilar fractions are two or more fractions whose denominators are different (dissimilar).
What type of fractions can you compare by looking at the numerator?
Only Fractions with a Common Denominator can be directly compared.
How do you compare similar and dissimilar fraction?
Two ways: Convert them to decimals and compare or convert them to equivalent fractions with a common denominator and compare the numerators.
What does percent mean when used to make a comparison?
One way to compare two fractions is to convert both to a common denominator. Then the only difference is in the numerator. Comparison of the numerator is then sufficient to compare the fractions. A percentage is equivalent to converting the fractions to a denominator of 100.
How can you add similar and dissimilar fractions?
Adding similar fractions is easy, but adding dissimilar ones requires an additional step. Before you begin, you must know a few important key terms. First, the number on the top of a fraction is called the numerator, while the number on the bottom of a fraction is called the denominator. Similar fractions have the same denominator, also called a common denominator. To add dissimilar fractions (fractions with different denominators), you must first convert the fractions so that the denominators are the same.
