To convert unlike fractions to like fractions, it is necessary to find the LCM of the unlike denominators. This will give you the least common denominator. Example: 1/3 and 1/8. The LCM of 3 and 8 is 24. To convert 3rds to 24ths, multiply the numerator and the denominator by 8. To convert 8ths to 24ths, multiply the numerator and the denominator by 3. 1/3 + 1/8 = 8/24 + 3/24 = 11/24
Yes, 5 out of 6 is greater than 19 out of 24. Both fractions can be simplified to 5/6 and 19/24 respectively. When comparing fractions, it is helpful to have a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 24. When the fractions are written with this common denominator, it is clear that 5/6 is larger than 19/24.
Subtracting fractions is similar to adding fractions. If the fractions have the same denominator, you subtract the numerators. If the fractions have different denominators, you have to convert to a common denominator first.Subtracting fractions is similar to adding fractions.
