it helps because if you have 4/7 and 6/10 and you want to figure out which is larger it helps to know if the new numerator for 4/7 is larger than the new numerator for 6/10.here is the answer to my example:7 * 10 = 70,70 is the new denomenator.
4/7= 40/70 and 6/10=42/70 ,therefore 6/10 is larger than 4/7
It is called "writing a fraction as an equivalent fraction with a larger denominator"!
A proper fraction is one where the numerator is smaller than the denominator, like 3/4. There's an infinite number of them, so I won't be writing them all.
Divide the denominator into the numerator.
The decimal 0.60 can be expressed as a fraction by writing it as 60/100. This fraction can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 20, resulting in 3/5. Therefore, 0.60 equals 3/5 in fractional form.
0.25 as a fraction is 25/100 whereas 25 is the numerator and 100 is the denominator .

Divide the denominator into the numerator.
A percentage is a special way of writing fractions with a denominator of 100. For example, 33% = 0.33 or 33/100.A decimal is also a special way of writing fractions - with a denominator that is a power of 10. Which power, depends on the number of decimal digis. For example, 0.125 = 125/1000.
The decimal 0.60 can be expressed as a fraction by writing it as 60/100. This fraction can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 20, resulting in 3/5. Therefore, 0.60 equals 3/5 in fractional form.
Yes.
Fractions in decimal form are easy to compare and to add and subtract from one another.
As an improper fraction the numerator will be greater than the denominator or it will be a 'top heavy' fraction
0.25 as a fraction is 25/100 whereas 25 is the numerator and 100 is the denominator .
5700 is an integer and not a fraction. However, it can be expressed in rational form as 5700/1. You can then calculate equivalent rational fractions if you multiply both, its numerator and denominator, by any non-zero integer.
if you are writing from an improper fraction to change it to a mixed number, you divide the numerator(top) into the denominator(bottom). Then, add the remainder on the numerator and use the answer as your whole number. 1___ Example: 7/5 5/7 5- 2 Answer:1(Whole number) Remainder:2(Numerator(Top)) Divisor:5(Denominator) New Fraction:1 2/5
Every rational can be expressed as a fraction. Now, integers are rational but if you want to be pedantic about it, they are not fractions. They can be written as fractions, though.Thus, 5 is rational. It is not in fraction form but can be expressed as one by writing it as 5/1.
