If the numerator is greater than the denominator then it is an improper fraction as for example 5/3 but if the numerator is less than the denominator then it is a common fraction as for example 3/4
the thirds is the denominator because the twos is the numerator which is on top and the demoninator is the thirds so its done like this 2/3, 3 is the denominator and 2 is the numerator. thanks i hope i helped you enough
1) Factor both the denominator and numerator 2) State restrictions 3) Reduce fraction if possible 4) Find LCD 5) Multiply LCD into both numerator and denominator 6) Cross out the like terms 7) Add and Subtract 8) Simplify if possible
When writing a whole number such as 625 as a fraction, the number becomes the numerator, and the denominator is 1. Therefore, it would look like this: 625/1
to make a fraction a mixed number..... you see how many times the denominator goes into thew numerator. after you do that you put what's left over than that becomes your new numerator,(the mixed number is going to have the same denominator as the fraction).so for example.......12 5------- = 1 -----
Like fractions are the fractions which have the same denominator and unlike fractions are the fractions which do not have the same denominator.
When the numerator of a fraction is greater than its denominator then it is classed as an improper fraction as in the example of 5/3
When the numerator is equal to the denominator it equals 1 if the numerator is greater than the denominator then you could change it to a mixed number like 3/2 equals 1 1/2
the numerator always has to be less than the denominator and if its equal like 5 to 5 that is 1
Do you mean like when you're trying to calculate the value of a variable? You divide the numerator by the denominator? If the operation involves subtracting a numerator from a denominator, then you would be subtracting the numerator.
In fractions equivalent to 1/2, the numerator is half of the denominator. Any fraction where the numerator is less than half of the denominator, like 19/40, is less than 1/2. Any fraction where the numerator is more than half of the denominator, like 49/96, is greater than 1/2. That's also a quick way to compare fractions. 4/9 is less than 5/8.
No because you have too multiply the numerator and denominator by the the same number to have an equivalent fraction.
This is like solving the folloging inequality (for the unknown numerator): x/5 > 3 Multiplying both side by five gives you: x > 15 So the numerator must be greater than 15.
All fractions are important. Perhaps you mean improper fraction, where the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator, like 22/7
like fraction
a numerator is the top number of a fraction and the demonatior is the bottom number of a fraction
The numerator and denominator of fractions are just whole numbers and have factors like any other number. Factor them as you would any regular whole number.
Like 4/9, such a fraction is considered to be in its simplest form.
