They are called unlike fractions. To add or subtract them, you have to change them to forms that have the same denominator.
Example: Add 1/3 and 3/4
1/3 x 4/4 = 4/12 equivalent fraction
1/4 x 3/3 = 3/12 equivalent fraction
4/12 + 3/12 = 7/12 and that is your answer
1/3 + 1/4 = 7/12

Fractions with different denominators are called?
unlike fractions
What is disimiliar fraction?
Dissimilar fractions have different denominators.
What are Fractions that have different denominators?
unlike fractions
How are fractions alike and different?
Fractions are alike if they have the same denominators; otherwise they are different.
Can you multiply fractions that have a different demonminator?
Yes. When multiplying and dividing fractions your denominators do not have to be the same. The denominators only haveto be the same if you are subtracting or adding them.
Fractions with different denominators are called?

What is a dissimilar fractions?
Dissimilar fractions are fractions that have different denominators.
What are Fractions that have different denominators?
unlike fractions
What is a name for fractions with different common denominators?
Dissimilar fractions.
Are the steps for like and unlike denominators the same or different?
It depends what you are doing with the fractions. If you are multiplying or dividing fraction, the denominators do not need to be the same and the calculation can be carried out immediately. If you are adding or subtracting fractions, the denominators must be the same; if you have different denominators, the fractions must first be changed into equivalent fractions with the same denominator. When the denominators are the same (or have been made the same as equivalent fractions from being different) the calculation can be carried out.
How are all unit fractions alike and different?
Unit fractions all have the same numerators but the denominators can be different.
Can you multiply fractions that have a different demonminator?
Yes. When multiplying and dividing fractions your denominators do not have to be the same. The denominators only haveto be the same if you are subtracting or adding them.
How do you find out a fraction if it is subtracted by different denominators?
You find the least comon multiples of the fractions' denominators.
What is unlike fractions?
A fraction where the denominators are different EG: 1/6 and 1/4. Like fractions are when the denominators are the same EG: 1/6 and 2/6 Hope this helped :))))
What are Fractions with denominators that are multiples of ten are called?
numerators
What do you do when you mutpiling fractions with common dennmonters?
Exactly the same as you do when multiplying fractions with different denominators. -- Multiply numerators . . . the product is the numeratore of the answer. -- Multiply denominators . . . the product is the denominator of the answer.
What is three eighths plus one fourth?
The denominators are different, so find the equivalent fractions using the LCD , then add the fractions with the denominators.
