A rate is the ratio of both those quantities.
To compare fractions which are not similar, the fractions must be made similar by putting them over a common denominator. There are two similar ways of doing this:Find the lowest common multiple of the denominators. Multiply the first numerator by whatever number you multiply the first denominator by to get that multiple, and do the same with the second numerator and denominator. You can then compare the numerators.Multiply the first numerator by the second denominator, and the second numerator by the first denominator, and put both numerators over the product of the two denominators. You can then compare the numerators.
No!If numerator and denominator have the same signs the fraction is positive.If numerator and denominator have opposite signs the fraction is negative.
The simplification will be positive. In other words, the numerator and the denominator will NOT stay negative.
Determine the lowest common denominator. Multiply the numerator and denominator of each fraction by a number that will result in the denominator becoming the LCD. The purpose for multiplying both the numerator and denominator is that any number divided by itself = 1, and when you multiply something by 1, you don't change it. When subtracting two fractions with the same denominators, the first numerator minus the second numerator equals the numerator of the result, and the result has the same denominator (the LCD). Simplify.

Both the numerator and denominator are polynomials
An expression which contains polynomials in both the numerator and denominator.

And the denominator is 0
If both the numerator AND denominator are the same... the fraction is an equivalent for the number 1

It is 2/3.
how to find simplest form is: 1. Find the GCF of the numerator and denominator 2. Divide the numerator and denominator by the GCF
they are both in a fraction?
