How can you use reducing fractions to demonstrate that the product of a fraction and it's reciprocal is 1?
Well, honey, when you reduce a fraction and then multiply it by its reciprocal, you're basically just multiplying a number by its inverse, which always equals 1. It's like flipping a pancake and then flipping it back - you end up right where you started. So, go ahead and crunch those numbers, and you'll see that the product of a fraction and its reciprocal is always 1.

What is three sevenths plus six eighths?
3/7 + 6/8 = 24/56 + 42/56 (multiply first fraction by 8 and second fraction by 7) = 66/56 (add the fractions now they have common denominators) = 33/28 (simplify by reducing the fraction by a factor of two) = 1 and 5/28

When you divide fractions do they have to be in fraction form?
No, when you divide fractions they do not have to be in fraction form. I'll show you two examples:Let's take 2/4 divided by 6/2:First, you must change the second fraction to its reciprocal, and change the division sign to a multiplication sign:2/4 times 2/6.Now you just multiply the tops and the bottoms of the fractions:2 times 2 is 4...and 4 times 6 is 24. So 4/24And last do any reducing that is necessary:1/6Take 2/5 divided by 2/15:Using the method above you will get 2/5 times 15/2.2 times 15 is 30 and 5 times 2 is 10. So you will get 30/10Reducing it you will get 3/1 = 3 which is not in fraction form.
