if the numbers are x and y we know that x/y = 0.8 and y = x + 4.
So x = 0.8 y
y = 0.8 y +4
0.2 y = 4
y = 20
x = 16
The fraction is 16 / 20.

What is the difference between a simplified fraction and an equivalent fraction?
A simplified fraction would be like 1/2. You can't reduce it any more. The only common factor between numerator and denominator is the number one (1). This is one use for finding the Greatest Common Factor between two numbers. Once you find the GCF, just divide the Numerator by GCF, and divide the Denominator by GCF and you have an equivalent fraction which has been reduced to the simplest form.An equivalent fraction is like 3/4 and 6/8. It's the same amount, therefore equal, which is where the name equivalent comes in.An equivalent fraction is a different representation of the simplest form. The numerator and the denominator of the equivalent fraction are multiples of the numerator and the denominator of the simplest form.
The denominator of a fraction is 24 more than the numerator. the value of the fraction is 13. what is the numerator of this fraction?
Let x = numerator and x +24 = denominator x/ (x+24) = 13; 13x + 312 = x ; 12x =-312; x = - 26 (negative26) which is the numerator
What if the denominator is more than twice the numerator is the fraction 0?
Yes, it can be. If the numerator is 0. Then suppose the denominator is 3, which is bigger than 0 (double the numerator). So the value of the fraction is 0/3 = 0.
How do you write equivalent fractions with the lowest common denominator?
Example: 2/3 and 3/4 The LCD of 3 and 4 is 12. Multiply the numerator and the denominator of 2/3 by 4 to make 8/12 Multiply the numerator and the denominator of 3/4 by 3 to make 9/12
To rationalize a denominator that has more than one term you multiply the fraction by bb where B is the conjugate of the numerator?
No, that is not what you do.
Why is a numerator less than the denominator?
a numerator can be more than the denominator but, if it is it is a improper fraction. so the numerator is less than the denominator do the fraction can be proper.
Why do you have to multiply or divide both the numerater and denominator of a fraction to find an equivalent fraction?
Whatever you multiply or divide the numerator by, you must do the same to the denominator. If you multiply or divide the numerator and denominator by different numbers, you change the value of the fraction and turn it into a different number. After that, nothing is "equivalent" any more ... you're working with a changed number.
How could you use the relationship between the numerator and denominator of fractions equivalent to one half to determine if a fraction is less than one half?
If the denominator is more than double the numerator, then the fraction is less than a half.
How do you know if a fraction is more than half?
Double the numerator. If the answer is greater than the denominator then the fraction is greater than half.Double the numerator. If the answer is greater than the denominator then the fraction is greater than half.Double the numerator. If the answer is greater than the denominator then the fraction is greater than half.Double the numerator. If the answer is greater than the denominator then the fraction is greater than half.
Is a compound fraction a equation that shows that two ratios are equivalent?
No, a compound fraction is a fraction in which either the numerator or the denominator, or both, contain one or more fractions.
What is the fraction if the numerator and the denominator of a fraction is 17 The denominator is 2 more than twice its numerator?
17/(2*17+2) = 17/36

What is a fraction that contains one or more fractions in the numerator the denominator or both?
It is a compound fraction.
What are two fractions for 1 out of 5?
well if you are talking about equivalent fractions then it is easy! So what you do to the numerator you do to the denominator and what you do to the denominator you do to the numerator. The numerator is the top part of a fraction and a denominator is the bottom part of a fraction. Because 1/5 is in simplest form you can multiply it by any number. Like 1/5=2/10. What I did for that is I multiplied the numerator and the denominator by 2. I think you can think of more. So this is why you need to memorize your multiplication tables.
How can you tell if a fraction will be more than 2?
If the numerator is more than double the denominator.If the numerator is more than double the denominator.If the numerator is more than double the denominator.If the numerator is more than double the denominator.
The denominator of a fraction is 24 more than the numerator. the value of the fraction is 13. what is the numerator of this fraction?
Let x = numerator and x +24 = denominator x/ (x+24) = 13; 13x + 312 = x ; 12x =-312; x = - 26 (negative26) which is the numerator
What if the denominator is more than twice the numerator is the fraction 0?
Yes, it can be. If the numerator is 0. Then suppose the denominator is 3, which is bigger than 0 (double the numerator). So the value of the fraction is 0/3 = 0.
