A fraction always has one number on top (the numerator), and another number

on the bottom (the denominator). If it doesn't have both of those, then it's not

a fraction.

Is the least common denominator of two fractions is always greater than the denominators of the fractions?

No. Sometimes it is the same as one of them. If you are allowed to simplify the fractions first, you might even get a smaller number, but I'm not sure what your math teacher is going for in your case.


How many fractions are there between the number 7 and 8?

A lot too many to be listed cause one could be 7 and 1/billionth in fact that are an infinite number of fractions between 7 and 8, just like there are an infinite number of numbers, the fractions would just get smaller and smaller.


How do you add fractions with unlike denominators using models?

When you wish to add fractions with unlike denominators, you change them into fractions with like denominators. First of all, remember that you can multiply a number by one, and the number remains the same. Now the number one can also be presented as any number divided by itself. So, 2/2 is one, and so is 3/3, or 4/4, or 98,235/98,235. So if you have thirds, and you would rather have twelfths, just multiply the fraction by 4/4. So, 1/3 = 4/12. You can always get your fractions to have the same denominator by this method. And then, addition becomes very easy. Just add the numerators. When the addition has been done, you may also want to simplify the fraction (for example, changing 4/12 to 1/3).


How do you write each fractions as a mixed number in simplest form?

Divide the top number into the bottom number..when u get your ONE remainder (one you should only have one remainder don't keep going with the fraction or add a decimal) The top number is the big number to the side and the remainder is the numerator and the bottom is the dominater. And if it needs simplifying well simplify.
