Real life situation for changing repeating decimals into fractions?
there are None!
What is the rule for changing mixed fractions to improper?
Multiply the denominator by the whole number, add the numerator, and put that total over the denominator.
What are the measurements of a baby changing table?
It really depends on the type and brand of a baby changing table you want. There are changing tables that are bigger but most of the changing tables have measurement of 38"L x 20"W x 38"H. This is the standard and simple baby changing table but you can find others with bigger or smaller measurements.
Explain why you cannot add fractions with unlike denominators?
You can totally add fractions with unlike denominators. You have to first find the LCD (least common denominator) to make them the same denomintars. And then you can just simply add them. What you cannot do is add fractions with unlike denominators without changing them to fractions with like denominators. The reason being that you would be attempting to add fractions that are different sizes. 1/2 is not the same size as 1/3, so it would be like trying to add apples and oranges. You have to change them to a common size and that is the reason you have to find the least common denominator first. While you cannot add 1/2 and 1/3, you can add 3/6 and 2/6.
What are these fractions in order from least to greatest 2-3 5-6 3-4?
Start by changing all fractions to common denominator, which is 12, then order by the numerator. 2/3=8/12; 5/6=10/12; 3/4=9/12 The order is: 2/3, 3/4, 5/6.
Which term describes changing a measurement to an equivalent measurement of different unit?
Conversion.
What is the process of changing between two different units of measurement?
Conversion.
What is used in changing dissimilar fractions to similar fractions?
Finding the lowest common denominator
How do you calculate percentage change in the measurement of a picture frame?
The answer may depend on why the measurement is changing.
When you are changing a smaller unit of measurement to a larger unit of measurement do you multiply or divide?
divide

What are The notion that different measurement bases create a problem of additivity?
Different measurement bases, such as LCM or HC, create the problem of additivity as it is akin to adding height to weight. Also, when using HC, the figure is not particularly relevant due to the issue of changing purchasing power of money.
What involves a process of trial and error simplifying fractions changing percentages to decials metric conversions reading musical notes?
Simplifying fractions
How do subtract fractions?
all you have to do is follow the same algorithm for adding a pair of fractions together. the main step is to find common denominators between the two. to do this, you need to find the least common multiple. another way you could find a common denominator is just by changing them into decimals, and adding them normally like whole numbers with the decimals lined up correctly.
What is the rule for subtracting fractions?
First, change it so that the two fractions have the same denominator (by changing the fractions into equivalent fractions). Once the two fractions have the same denominator, it is simply a case of subtracting the numerators, leaving the denominator the same. Finally, reduce the fraction to its lowest terms (if possible).
What is one technique used to convert a measurement in one unit into a different unit with out changing the value of the measurement?
Multiply the original quantity by a conversion factor, a fraction containing the desired unit in the numerator and the original unit in the denominator so that the fraction is equal to one.
Express the fractions 1 over 2 and 2 over 5 to similar fractions?
If you are trying to convert 1/2 and 2/5 to fractions with different denominators, multiply the fractions by a fraction that is equal to 1. Go to the following URL to see an example.http://i30.tinypic.com30sbjfo.pngIn this example we see that by multiplying 1/2 by 4/4 (which is equal to 1), we change the fraction's denominator (and numerator) and thus change the numbers without changing the value of the fraction.
