How do you match equivalent fractions?
One way to do it is to convert them to decimals by performing the division. Equivalent fractions become the same decimal.
Why do fractions and division go together?
Because fractions require division. 1/2 is the same as one divided by two.
How is division related to fractions?
Fractions are representations of division. The line in a fraction can be read as "divided by." 3/4 = 3 divided by 4
When doing fractions why is it easier to multiply and divide fractions than add and substract fractions?
It is easier to multiply or divide fractions than to add or subtract fractions because in multiplication, you just have to multiply the numerator by the numerator and the denominator by the denominator. Same applies with division of fractions, except that you have to reciprocate the fraction you're dividing with (divisor) then proceed to multiplication. Whereas, in addition and subtraction of fractions, you still have to get their Least Common Denominator (LCD).
How are decimals and fractions related to division?
Decimals and fractions are ways of representing numbers. Division is an arithmetic operation between two numbers (and the inverse of the multiplication operation). One form of writing the division operation looks like a fraction.
