Two fractions the same size are called?
equivalent fraction
What is the meaning of related fractions?
Two fractions are related when the denominator of one of the fraction is a multiple of the denominator of the other fraction. (Don't confuse with Like fractions)
What is the same about two fractions that are like fractions?
Fractions that are equivalent have the same values when simplified.
Describe a way to compare two fractions when the numerators are the same?
When the numerators are the same, the fraction with the lower demomenator is the bigger fraction.
How do you compare two fractions whose numerators are the same?
If the fractions have the same numerator (top number), then the fraction with the larger denominator (bottom number) is the smaller fraction, which implies that the fraction with the smaller denominator is the larger fraction. For example with 1/2 and 1/4, it can be easily seen that 1/2 is the larger of the two.

How do you multiply a negative fraction and a positive fraction?
The same as any two fractions. In this case, the answer will be negative.
Which fraction is greater if the two fractions have the same denomintors and different numerators?
The fraction that have the greatest numerator.
What is the same about two fractions that are like fractions?
Fractions that are equivalent have the same values when simplified.
Describe a way to compare two fractions when the numerators are the same?
When the numerators are the same, the fraction with the lower demomenator is the bigger fraction.
Why do you need like denominators to add and subtract fractions?
Finding a common denominator makes it possible to add two fractions because it allows us to write each fraction as a multiple of a common (usually smaller) fraction. Subtracting fractions works the same way; find a common denominator so that the fractions involved are in the same terms.
What is the rule for subtracting fractions?
First, change it so that the two fractions have the same denominator (by changing the fractions into equivalent fractions). Once the two fractions have the same denominator, it is simply a case of subtracting the numerators, leaving the denominator the same. Finally, reduce the fraction to its lowest terms (if possible).
What is a equivilent fraction?
Equivalent fractions are two or more fractions that refer to the same number, such as 1/2 and 2/4.
Does the denominator have to be the same when adding a fraction?
When adding two or more unlike fractions, yes.
How do you compare two fractions whose numerators are the same?
If the fractions have the same numerator (top number), then the fraction with the larger denominator (bottom number) is the smaller fraction, which implies that the fraction with the smaller denominator is the larger fraction.

How do you figure out a fraction of a fraction?
multiply the two fractions
