Dissimilar fractions have different denominators.

unlike fractions
Fractions are alike if they have the same denominators; otherwise they are different.
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.
Possible reasons: To add or subtract fractions, To compare fractions with different denominators.
Dissimilar fractions have different denominators.
Dissimilar fractions are fractions that have different denominators.
Because when you compare fractions with the same denominators, you do not have to find the least common denominator (LCM or LCD).

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.
Fractions that are not equivalent are dissimilar fractions * * * * * The term is used more commonly to refer to fractions whose denominators are different.
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.

You use them when there are 2 fractions with different denominators.
