What happens when you divide a fraction by a fraction?
you change all mixed numbers to improper fractions.
What happens when you divide a fraction by itself?
When you divide a fraction by itself, the result is always 1. This is because dividing any number by itself is equal to 1.
What happens if one of the fractions is negative?
I call them Dolly fractions.
What happens when you have two fractions that have the same denominator?
Nothing actually happens. You are now in a position where the fractions may be added or subtracted more easily but that is all.
What happens when you add subtract multiply and divide fractions?
The result (which should be simplified) is another fraction of some kind: * a proper (or vulgar fraction) with the numerator (top number) less than the denominator (bottom number); * an improper fraction with the numerator greater than the denominator which can be converted into a mixed number; or * an integer (whole number).
What happens to the size of the fractional units when you renamed the fraction?
The answer depends on what you do to rename the fractions.

What happens when you divide a fraction by one?
when ever you divide fractions you must always flip the fraction you are dividing and change the division sign to multiplication, ex. 1/2 divded by 1 = 2/1 multiplied by 1/1 which equals 2

What happens when you add fractions and you get an improper fraction?
Example of an improper fraction is 11/4 To convert to a mixed fraction, divide the numerator 11 by the denominator 4 thus: 11 / 4 = 2 remainder 3 The 2 is the whole number, and the remainder 3 is placed over the denominator 4 thus: 2 3/4
Why are some fractions equivalent to repeating decimals?
Actually ALL fractions are either terminating, or they are equivalent to repeating decimals.Try to carry out the long division, by hand, using ANY fraction; for example, 1/7. At each step, there will be a remainder. If this remainder happens to be zero, the division stops (the decimal is terminating). However, if it doesn't stop, there can only be (in this example, when dividing by 7), six different options for the remainder; therefore, sooner or later, you MUST get a remainder that you already had before; therefore, the pattern repeats. Note: The fractions (in simplest terms) that are equivalent to terminating decimals are exactly those which have a denominator whose only prime factors are 2 and 5. This is because those are the prime factors that make up the number 10 - the base of our decimal number system.
What happens when the denominator of a fraction increases?
The fraction gets smaller.
What happens to the fraction as the denominator decreases?
The value of the fraction increases.
