How can you tell which fractions is greater if both fractions have the same numerator?
Then the fraction with the smaller denominator is larger.
Is a fraction greater than a negative number?
A negative and a fraction are both less than one. A fraction is a negative. When you order fractions and negatives greatest to least just put the negative first.
If 2 fractions have the same numerator but different denominator how can you tell which is greater?
In that case, and assuming both fractions are positive, the one with the larger denominator is the smaller fraction, because you are dividing by a larger number.
How do you know if a fraction is greater than anoyher fraction?
Convert both fractions to a common base and compare the size of their numerators.
How do you multiply fraction by another fraction or a whole number?
turn both fractions into decimals and then multiply!
What number can be subtracted from both the numerator and denominator of this fraction to produce the fraction on the right?
Without seeing the fractions in question it would be assumed that they would form equivalent fractions.
How do you add mixed fractions with another mixed fraction?
You convert them both to improper fractions by multiplying the denominators by the whole number and then adding the numerator to it. This number goes in the numerator and the denominator stays the same. Then you do this for the other fraction, making sure that the denominators of each fraction are equivalent. Then add the fractions as normal.
Can a decimal number be the denominator in a fraction?
In standard fractions both numerator and denominator must be integers.
What is a fraction that has a fractions in the numerator denominator or both?
It is a compound fraction.
What is the difference between a complex fraction and a regular fraction?
"Regular" fractions have integers for the numerator and denominator. Complex fractions have fractions at one or both of those spots.
How do you simplify when its just one number in fractions?
A fraction always has one number on top (the numerator), and another number on the bottom (the denominator). If it doesn't have both of those, then it's not a fraction.
When multiplying a fraction by a fraction why do you get a larger fraction?
I think this would happen if both fractions are positive, one or both of them is improper (numerator and denominator are equal or numberator is larger than denominator), and at least one of them has a value greater than one.
