Equivalent fractions.

equal fractions


How do you know when two fractions are equal?

If the denominators (bottom numbers) are not equal, making equivalent fractions of them so that the denominators are equal. With the denominators equal if the numerators (top numbers) are equal, then the fractions are equal.


What are the characteristics of improper fractions?

Improper fractions have numerators that are greater than or equal to their denominators.


What do you notice when the denominators in two fractions are the same?

You can represent the two fractions with one fraction with a numerator equal to the sum of the two individual numerators (with sign) and a denominator equal to just one of the two denominators.


What are equilavent fractions?

Equivalent fractions can be defined as fractions that may have different numerators and denominators but they represent the same value. For example, 9/12 and 6/8 are equivalent fractions because both are equal to 3/4.


How do you add two fractions together?

If the denominators are equal, you just add the numerators. For example, 1/10 + 3/10 = 4/10. If the denominators are different, you must first (1) find a common denominator, and (2) convert both frations to that common denominator.


Is it possible for two fractions greater than 1 that have different numerators and denominator to be renamed as the same mixed number?

Yes, it is possible for two fractions greater than 1 with different numerators and denominators to be renamed as the same mixed number. This can happen when the fractions are equivalent, meaning they represent the same value. To determine if two fractions can be renamed as the same mixed number, you need to simplify them to their simplest form and then compare them to see if they are equal.


What is the general rule for multiplying fractions?

The product of two fractions is equal to the two numerators multiplied together divided by the two denominators multiplied together. (a/x) * (b/y) = (a * b) / (x * y)


Can two fractions with the same numerator and different denominators be equal?

Only if the numerator is zero,


What do you do to add fractions with common denominators?

To add fractions with the same denominators, simply add together the numerators, and cancel down if necessary. For example, 5/8 + 1/8 = 6/8. Cancelling this down to an improper fraction in its simplest form, this is equal to 3/4.


How are equivalent fractions used in renaming when subtracting?

When subtracting one fraction to another, one or both fractions are renamed so that they have the same denominators. Then the result of the subtraction is the equal to the subtraction of the numerators divided by the common denominator.
