What are non equivalent fractions?
Non-equivalent fractions are fractions that are not equal
What do you think equivalent fractions are?
I think that equivalent fractions are fractions that have the same answer, at he end.
How can equivalent fractions help when adding mixed numbers?
It can help by when finding the LCD (Least Common Denominator) you find the least number they have in common then that number is your equivalent fraction.
What is the definition for subtracting fractions?
Convert the fractions to equivalent fractions having the same denominator (this is usually the lowest common denominator). The fractions can then be subtracted by finding the difference of their numerators. EXAMPLE : 5/6 - 3/4 : 5/6 is equivalent to 5x2/12 = 10/12: 3/4 is equivalent to 3x3/12 = 9/12 10/12 - 9/12 = 1/12.
What are equivalent and non equivalent fractions?
Equivilent means same fractions.
How do you subtract fractions without alike denominators?
Convert unlike fractions to equivalent fractions with common denominators by finding the LCM of the denominators.
How would you describe a strategy to find decimal equivalent for fractions and convience her to like the strategy?
You can tell her that you would have to divide the numerator by the denominator.
What types of problems can be solved using the greatest common factor and what types of problems can be solved using the least common multiple.?
Finding the GCF will help in simplifying fractions. Finding the LCM will help in adding and subtracting fractions.
What are non equivalent fractions?
Non-equivalent fractions are fractions that are not equal
When you subtract fractions you are finding their?
You are finding their difference.
What do you think equivalent fractions are?
I think that equivalent fractions are fractions that have the same answer, at he end.
Define equivalent fractions?
Equivalent fractions are fractions that have the same value as another fraction.
How can equivalent fractions help when adding mixed numbers?
It can help by when finding the LCD (Least Common Denominator) you find the least number they have in common then that number is your equivalent fraction.
How do you do quotient with fractions?
if you can divide whole numbers, turn the fraction into a whole number by finding its equivalent and replacing the fraction with that equivalent. Then divide the new number which should be whole and you have your answer.
What is the definition for subtracting fractions?
Convert the fractions to equivalent fractions having the same denominator (this is usually the lowest common denominator). The fractions can then be subtracted by finding the difference of their numerators. EXAMPLE : 5/6 - 3/4 : 5/6 is equivalent to 5x2/12 = 10/12: 3/4 is equivalent to 3x3/12 = 9/12 10/12 - 9/12 = 1/12.
What problems can be solved using gcf and LCM?
Finding the LCM will make adding and subtracting fractions easier.
How can the greatest common factor and least common multiple help you work with fractions?
Finding the GCF of the numerator and the denominator of a fraction and dividing them both by it will give you the simplest form of that fraction. Finding the LCM of unlike denominators and converting them to it will make it possible to add and subtract unlike fractions.
