How are percent related to an improper fraction?
A value can be stated as a percent or a fraction. Improper fractions will be greater than 100 percent.
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).
Why does finding a common denominator make it easier to compare fractions?
You might think that 1/4 is greater than 1/3 because 4 is greater than 3. If you know that 1/3 = 4/12 and 1/4 = 3/12, it makes them easier to compare.
