Why do you have to multiply or divide both the numerator and denominator of a fraction to find equivalent fraction?
So you can answer question 1 in your homework. Any number times 1 is equal to the original number. When we simplify a fraction or change a fraction to find a common denominator so we can add or subtract if from another fraction we do not want to change it's value. We multiply ( or divide it ) it by one essentially. Remember 5/5 = 2/2 = 7/7 = 1.
How do you find eh absolute value of a fraction?
If the fraction is already positive, then it is also the absolute value. If the fraction is negative, just change the sign and it becomes the absolute value. Absolute value means the magnitude (value) of the fraction without any sign attribute.
What happens to the fraction if the numerator is increased?
If the numerator of the fraction is increased and the denominator doesn't change, then the value of the fraction increases.
Raising a fraction to higher terms does change the value of the fraction. True or false?
False.
What is 32.5 percent as a fraction in simplest form?
To convert a percentage to a fraction, you simply place the percentage value over 100 and then simplify the fraction. In this case, 32.5% can be written as 32.5/100. To simplify this fraction, you can divide both the numerator and the denominator by 2, resulting in 16.25/50. Continuing to simplify by dividing both by 2 again gives you the simplest form of 8.125/25.
