You can compare similar fractions by looking at their numerators. You can compare dissimilar fractions by converting them to similar fractions and looking at their numerators. You can convert a dissimilar fraction to a similar fraction by finding the least common denominator.
Dissimilar fractions are not equivalent as for example 1/2 is the same as 2/4 but 3/5 and 2/7 are dissimilar fractions
Dissimilar fractions have different denominators.
Dissimilar
addition subtraction multiplication division
You have to convert them to equivalent similar fractions (fractions with the same denominator) first.
Because they could be equivalent fractions as for example 3/4 is the same as 12/16
similar fraction is the same denominator and dissimilar fraction is cannot the same denominators
You don't.
To solve a Dissimilar Fraction,you must change the denominator to a similar fraction then proceed with the Adding/Subtracting Dissimilar Fraction...
The answer depends on WHAT you want to do with them.
You can compare similar fractions by looking at their numerators. You can compare dissimilar fractions by converting them to similar fractions and looking at their numerators. You can convert a dissimilar fraction to a similar fraction by finding the least common denominator.
Take one of the fractions. Multiply its numerator and denominator by any integer greater than 1. The result will be a fraction with is equivalent to the fraction that you started with but no longer similar to the other fraction.
Simplify your answer into lowest term.Do the operation.
Two ways: Convert them to decimals and compare or convert them to equivalent fractions with a common denominator and compare the numerators.
Dissimilar fractions are not equivalent as for example 1/2 is the same as 2/4 but 3/5 and 2/7 are dissimilar fractions
Similar fractions have the same denominator, dissimilar ones don't.
