How to change dissimilar fractions to similar fractions?
Note: numerator is the top part of the fraction, denominator is the bottom part. 1) Find a common denominator. It may be the least common denominator, but it need not be; just multiplying the denominators also gives you a common denominator, not necessarily the smallest one. 2) Convert each fraction so that it has this common denominator. This means multiplying numerator and denominator by the same number.
When you multiply fractions by fractions what do you do to the numerators?
they are also multiplied. When multiplying fractions: (N1/D1) x (N2/D2). The new product is (N1 x N2) / (D1 x D2).
Is it always necessary to find the least common denominator to compare the sizes of fractions?
It is not always necessary to find the least common denominator to compare the sizes of fractions. When comparing fractions with the same denominator, you can simply compare the numerators. If the denominators are different, you can find a common denominator by multiplying the denominators together, but it is not always required for comparison. Alternatively, you can convert the fractions to decimals for easier comparison in some cases.
How to compare fractions?
The usual method is to convert the fractions to equivalent fractions with a common denominator. Then you can simply compare the numerators. You can also convert each of the fractions to a decimal - this can easily be done with a calculator, simply divide the numerator by the denominator.
What is the Least Common Denominator of 1 fifth and 2 fifteenths?
the least common denominator would be 15. 1/5 would be 3/15 and 2/15 would stay the same..2/15. you take the denominator and multiply it by what to get 15........????........ answer: 3. so you also would multiply the numinator by 3 then take the second one. you multiply the denominator by 1 to get 15 so you do the same with thge numerator. the common denominator is 15 but to get them to fractions with the same denominators you would do that.
