How do you name two equivalent fractions for each fraction?
Multiply the numerator (top) and the denominator (bottom) of the fraction by any non-zero integer or a common factor. You will have an equivalent fraction.
How do you multiply a mixed fraction by a mixed fractions?
If doing it without a calculator, then convert each mixed fraction into a top-heavy equivalent fraction and then multiply as for fractions.
How do you find fractions equivalent to each other?
To find out if two fractions are equivalent, either reduce them both to their simplest forms (which will be the same number if they're equivalent) or convert them to decimals (which will be the same number if they're equivalent). To make an equivalent fraction of a given fraction, multiply the numerator and the denominator of the given fraction by the same counting number.
How can you use equivalent fractions to help you add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators?
Change each fraction to an equivalent fraction with the same denominator. 3/8+5/12= 9/24+10/24=19/24
How do you subtract fractions using diagrams?
Pie charts make nice fraction diagrams. Each fraction that you subtract is equivalent to taking out a slice of pie.
