Why are fractions important?

why are fractions importanrt? The answer is rather simple... 1) some people prefer using fractions over decimals. 2) fractions are easier to read. and that's all I know Hope this helps


What is equivalent to 3.21 as a fractions?

3.21 is a fraction. It is a fraction in decimal form rather than in the form of a ratio. However, that does not stop it being a fraction. Its equivalent, in rational form, is 321/100 which cannot be simplified.


What is the formula for substracting fractions?

There is actually no specific formula to subtract fractions but rather a method to accomplish this. First you have to obtain a common denominatior between the two fractions in order to subtract. This is easiest when you just multiply the denominators. If you have 1/4 and 1/9 you multiply the denominator to have a common one. This would give us 36. then you would have to multiply the numerators by the number you multiplied the denominator. This means that 1/4 would become 9/36 because you multiplied the bottom by 9 in order to get 36. You can check to see if you did this right by simplifying the fraction and seeing if you got your original fraction. Once you have these new common fractions you simply subtract the numerators and put them over the common denominator. 9/36 - 4/36 = 5/36 which cannot be simplified


What a mathematician might draw?

Oh, dude, a mathematician might draw... like, shapes and graphs and stuff. You know, all those lines and numbers that make your head spin? Yeah, they're into that. But hey, if you ask me, I'd rather draw a stick figure or a smiley face. Math is cool and all, but like, can we just stick to doodles?


Simplify math expressions?

Yes, you can but it depends on the context. You can simplify fractions, or simplify surds, or algebraic expressions and in each case the simplification means different things. So if you want a sensible answer to your question I would suggest that you use a proper question rather than stick a quastion mark at the end of a phrase!
