What is disimiliar fraction?
Dissimilar fractions have different denominators.
What are Fractions that have different denominators?
unlike fractions
Fractions with different denominators are called?
unlike fractions
How are fractions alike and different?
Fractions are alike if they have the same denominators; otherwise they are different.
How do you order fractions with unlike denominators?
You can convert them to equivalent fractions with like denominators, then simply compare the numerators.You might also convert each fraction to a decimal (divide the numerator by the denominator); then you can also compare them.
Why would you want to rename fractions with the LCD?
Possible reasons: To add or subtract fractions, To compare fractions with different denominators.
What is disimiliar fraction?
Dissimilar fractions have different denominators.
What is a dissimilar fractions?
Dissimilar fractions are fractions that have different denominators.
Explain how comparing fractions with like denominators differs from comparing fractions with unlike denominators?
Because when you compare fractions with the same denominators, you do not have to find the least common denominator (LCM or LCD).
What are Fractions that have different denominators?
unlike fractions
How do you compare improper fractions with larger numerators than denominators?
The same way as proper fractions. Make sure the denominators are the same. If they're not, convert them to equivalent fractions with similar denominators. Then you can see which numerator is greater.
What is the meaning of disimilar fraction?
Fractions that are not equivalent are dissimilar fractions * * * * * The term is used more commonly to refer to fractions whose denominators are different.
What are the rules of the dissimilar fractions?
I assume you mean, with different denominators. If you want to add the fractions, subtract them, or compare them (determine which one is greater), you have to convert them to similar fractions (fractions with the same denominator) first. Converting to similar fractions is not necessary, and usually doesn't even help, if you want to multiply or divide fractions.
What is a name for fractions with different common denominators?
Dissimilar fractions.
Fractions with different denominators are called?
unlike fractions
How are fractions alike and different?
Fractions are alike if they have the same denominators; otherwise they are different.
When do you have to use the common denominators?
You use them when there are 2 fractions with different denominators.
