What happens to the size of the fraction when the numerator stays the same but the denominator increases?
The fraction decreases. 1/3 is smaller than 1/2.
If two fractions have the same numerator but different denominators is the fraction with the greater denominator greater than or less than the fraction with the lesser denominator?
When the numerators are the same, the fraction with the higher denominator is less than the fraction with the lower denominator. The denominator indicates the size of the "parts" being shown as a fraction, and the higher the denominator, the smaller those parts are!
What are all the fractions equivalent to 3 over 8?
Any fraction where the numerator is 3/8 the size of the denominator is equivalent. Examples are 60/160 and 3 bazillion/8 bazillion . There are an infinite number of them.
What are the rules for ordering and comparing fractions?
help me plzplz plz plz plz i need the answer other people need the answer.Here are some rules for working with the same denominator or numerator...Rule #1When two fractions have the same denominator, the bigger fraction is the one with the bigger numerator.2/6 < 5/6 The size of the fraction is the same (sixths), the numerator is what is different (2 2/15.In this case you are looking at the same portion (numerator). This means you look at the denominator and find out which is larger or smaller. Remember the bigger the number the smaller it is.More Ordering and Comparing Advice.....1. Think of 1/2 and 1. If there are a set of fractions you can look to see which are less than half, a half, or close to 1.EX. 4/8, 1/3, 9/101/3 is less than half4/8 is half9/10 is almost 12. Use division. Compare 3/4 and 5/6. You can divide the numerator by the denominator. You will have numbers that are easier to compare3/4= .755/6= .83333/4 < 5/63. Use a picture or number line or fraction strips. It's pretty basic but if all else fails. Just make sure that the item (shape, or number line) is the same size/length and try to divide it as evenly as possible.4. Find a common denominator. By doing so you create an equivalent fraction (the same fraction with a different name).
Two fractions the same size are called?
equivalent fraction
What happens to the size of a positive fraction when the the numerator is increased by 1?
The size increase.
What happens to the size of the fraction when the numerator stays the same but the denominator increases?
The fraction decreases. 1/3 is smaller than 1/2.
How does. Increasing the numerator of a fraction affect its size?
It increases it.
What happens to the size of the fractional units when you rename the fraction?
Nothing happens to the fraction.
What fraction is larger than 2 over 7?
The answer includes an infinite number of fractions, but the simple way to get a larger fraction is to increase the size of the numerator, or decrease the size of the denominator, so 3/7 is larger than 2/7, and 2/6 (which reduces to 1/3) is larger than 2/7.
What happens to width of interval if you decrease the sample size?
It will decrease too. * * * * * If it is the confidence interval it will NOT decrease, but will increase.
What is a quick way to judge the relative size of a fraction?
Convert to its decimal equivalent (by dividing denominator into numerator).
If a fraction has zero in the numerator and 5 in the denominator what is the value of the fraction?
Any fraction that has a zero in the numerator has a value of zero. It does not matter what the denominator is. Think of it this way, if I say I ate zero slices of pizza it does not matter what the size of the slices are, I still did not eat any pizza.
What tells the portion of the whole that is referenced by the fraction?
The numerator does, but you still have to know the denominatorin order to know the size of the portion.
Kinds of fraction?
The numerator, which is the number above the line. The denominator, which is the number below the line. The denominator defines the size of the fractional parts of a whole, and the numerator tells how many there are. A fraction is often used to express the division of the numerator by the denominator.
What happens to the standard error of the mean if the sample size is increased?
Decrease
What is the fraction that is greater 1 over 2 but less then a whole?
Any fraction where the numerator is less than the denominator but more than half its size is a correct answer. There are an infinite number of them.
