a/b if a is greater than b divide get c with remainder d c d/b is the mixed number answer EX... 23/5 = 4 r3 = 4 3/5
In order to add or subtract fractions, the denominator (bottom number) has to be the same. In order to make it the same, you find the LCM and multiply the fraction by whatever is necessary to make the denominator the LCM. FOR EXAMPLE: 1/3 + 2/5 The LCM of 3 and 5 is 15. To make the 3 in 1/3 15, you multiply the whole fraction by 5 over 5 (it simplifies to 1 so you aren't really changing the fraction by multiplying it by 1). 1/3 * 5/5 is 5/15 You multiply 2/5 times 3 over 3 using the same principle 2/5 * 3/3 is 6/15 NOW you can add 5/15 and 6/15 to get 11/15.
18/45 is a proper fraction. It can be simplified to 2/5.
The bottom number of a fraction is called the denominator. In order to add and subtract fractions with different denominators, it is necessary to make them the same, or "common." Example: 1/4 + 1/5. The common denominator is 20. 1/4 = 5/20 1/5 = 4/20 1/4 + 1/5 = 5/20 + 4/20 = 9/20
The GCF is 5.
0.6 = 3/5 in its lowest terms
to multiply fractions add them together and reduce the final fraction. to multiply mixed numbers, first make the mixed number an improper fraction, by mulitplying the whole number and the denominator and adding the answer to the numerator. Example: The improper fraction 8/5 can be changed to the mixed number 1 3/5 by dividing the numerator (8) by the denominator (5). This gives a quotient of 1 and a remainder of 3. The remainder is placed over the divisor (5).
nobody cares
A mixed fraction is another way of writing fractions. Mixed fractions include a whole number and a fraction. For example, 2-1/2 is a mixed fraction. But it's equivalent value 5/2 is not a mixed fraction but an improper fraction.
5/2 + 5/2= 5
Two thirds and three fourths can be renamed as fractions with 12 of the denominator as 8/12 and 9/12 respectively. The sum of the renamed fractions as a mixed number is 1 5/12.
It is 5 and 43/100 as a mixed number
When dividing fractions and mixed numbers, the most important step is to convert the mixed number into a single fraction. E.g. 1, 1/3 should be written as 4/3.
Integers are whole numbers. Proper fractions are less than one. Mixed numbers are improper fractions and are greater than one. They are distinct categories.
First you make them into improper fractions. E.g 2 4/10 = 24/10 Then you simplify them. E.g 24/10 = 12/5 After that youchange them back into mixed numbers. E.g 12/5 = 2 2/5
You have to change both mixed numbers into improper fractions: ex: 5 3/4 x 2/5= 23/4 x 2/5 (you multiplied 5 times 4 and then added three to your answer-20 and left the deominator as 4)
You turn the mixed number into an improper fraction. Say, if you had 1 and 1/4, you would turn it into 5/4. 5 1 5 - * - = - 4 2 8
