What makes a common fraction improper?
An improper fraction is a fraction in which the top number (numerator) is largerthan the bottom number (denominator).Such a fraction can always be converted to a whole number plus sometimes a'proper' fraction.Examples:The improper fraction 45/15 = 3 .The improper fraction 10/7 = 13/7 .
What fraction of 1kg is 600g?
6/10- 'cause the k in kg means 1000 so it means 1000g so the fraction is 600/1000 but you can cut it down by dividing both sides by the same thing so you can divide both of them by 10 which makes 60/100 but then they still have some zeros on the end so you can divide it by 10 again which makes 6/10.
When adding fractions do you change a mixed number to an improper fraction?
It is possible no to. But doing so makes it easier
What is 5.009 as a fraction?
5.009 as a fraction is 5 9/1000 I'm here with a simple explanation: Any number before the decimal point is a whole number. So 5 is the whole number in the fraction. Now to determine 0.009 as a fraction, 9 is the numerator. Count the decimal point as 1, count 009 as zeros; 000. This automatically makes 1000 the denominator.
What are the two equivalent fraction of the decimal 0.14?
Easy, last number, 4 which is in the hundreds place makes 1 fraction to be 14:100,a youll get the second fraction by simplifying it to be 7:50 so 14:100,and 7:50
What algorithm makes sense for dividing any fraction by any fraction?
Hey Guys! I'm Not Sure That's Why I Am Asking You!.
What algorithm makes sense for dividing any whole number by any fractions?
let x = whole number let y = a/b |------------| | z = x/y | |------------| a, b can have any real value. OR: You multiply the whole number by the dinamanator (botton number of the fraction), then you divid the answer by the numanator (top number of the fraction) You get your answer but it you might be able to put it in smallest terms.......THEN ALL DONE!! I hope it was helpful
How do you write a percentage as a fraction?
A percentage is a number out of 100. For example, 40% is 40 out of 100, so it can be written as a fraction 40/100. This can then be simplified to 4/10 by dividing the top and bottom of the fraction by 10. Then simplifed to 2/5 by dividing the top and the bottom of the fraction by 2. So 40% as a fraction is 2/5
How do you find a number of a fraction?
The question makes no sense: any fraction IS a number. So there is nothing to find!
Is a fraction a number?
yes, a fraction IS composed of numbers AND it is PART of a number, so it makes it a number.========================Yes, consider 1/2, this is a fraction (a half) but it is the same as 0.5 which is a real number.
Multiplying and dividing two rlated quantities by the same number is called?
There is no particular name for it. For example, the frequency and wavelength of electromagnetic rays are related, but multiplying them by the same number, or dividing, makes no sense.
Can a radicand be negative?
Yes. It makes a whole number a fraction.
What makes fasta faster than needleman wunsch algorithm?
Hash loookup table in FASTA makes it faster than Needleman Wunsch algorithm.
What is 0.22 repeating as a fraction?
2/9 0.22 = 0.22/1 which is nearly 0.22/0.99 then dividing by 11 makes 0.2/0.9 then 2/9
What is five sixths of thirty?
Divide 30 by the last number of the fraction, so 6. 30:6 makes 5. Multiply 5 with the first number of the fraction. 5x5 makes 25
Why would you need to find the GCF and LCM of a set of numbers?
They GCF and LCM are useful in working with fractions: In simplifying a fraction dividing the numerator (top) and denominator (bottom) by the same number reduces the fraction. By dividing through by the GCF of the numerator and denominator the fraction cannot be simplified any further (except converting improper (top heavy) fractions to mixed numbers). For large numbers, it may not be obvious what are the common factors of the numerator and denominator so using a general algorithm to find their GCF makes this easier. When adding or subtracting fractions a common denominator is needed. One number which is guaranteed to work is to multiply all the denominators together. However, this can lead to extremely large numbers which can be difficult with which to work and lead to a fraction that will require simplifying. By using the LCM as the new denominator (hence its alternative name of LCD - Lowest Common Denominator) it ensures the numbers shouldn't get too big and should be easier with which to work.
How do you write 110 as a fraction in the simplest form?
110 is an integer whole number, not a fraction. Your question makes no sense.
