(This does not work with mixed numbers, only fractions and improper fractions.)
Type the fraction as a division problem. For example three sixths would look like 3/6. Before pressing ENTER, press MATH and select the first option, >Frac. For example, if you are simplifying 3/6, you will see 3/6>Frac. Press ENTER to see the simplified fraction, in this case 1/2.
What else can I help you with?
How do you convert fractions and whole numbers into decimals in the easiest way?
The easiest way is to take a calculator, and divide the numerator by the denominator. If you are not supposed to use a calculator, divide the numerator by the denominator on paper.
How do you add fractions using the least common denomanator?
Ok. First you make sure the denominator (bottom number) is the same on all the fractions. The easiest way to do this is to multiply the denominators together, then multiply each numerator by the opposite fractions denominator. This is the easiest way to do this, you will simplify later. ONLY DO THIS IF THE DENOMINATORS ARE DIFFERENT. If they are the same just add the numerators together to get your fraction. Then simplify.
How do you change improper fractions to mixed numerals on a calculator?
Check the manual of your specific calculator. What I have seen is usually something like the following: The calculator tends to automatically show fractions as mixed fractions. The calculator has a "fraction" key, often labelled ab/c. Pressing the "shift" key (or some similar key for "extra functions") followed by the fraction key will often to the desired conversion in the other way (from mixed to improper).
When you multiply fractions why do you multiply the fractions strait across?
This has the effect of producing a denominator in the answer that has each of the original denominators as factors. You don't have to worry about simplifying the fractions before multiplying. Of course, you may have to simplify after multiplying. There's no way out.
Is there a way to simplify fractions on the TI 84 calculator?
(This does not work with mixed numbers, only fractions and improper fractions.) Type the fraction as a division problem. For example three sixths would look like 3/6. Before pressing ENTER, press MATH and select the first option, >Frac. For example, if you are simplifying 3/6, you will see 3/6>Frac. Press ENTER to see the simplified fraction, in this case 1/2.
How do you know two fractions are equivalent?
you can simplify your answer and when you simplify it and they're the same it's equivalent
How do you find the average of fractions?
To find the average of fractions, you first need to find a common denominator for all the fractions. Once you have the fractions with the same denominator, add them together to find the total. Then, divide the total by the number of fractions you added together to find the average. Remember to simplify the fraction if possible.
What is the least common denominator for the fractions 5656 and 3838?
There doesn't appear to be any fractions there but to find the LCD of fractions is done in the same way as finding the lowest common multiple of numbers.
How do you add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators without finding a common denominator?
The fastest and surest way to do that is to have a calculator that has a fraction button. (a b/c)
What is the ratio of 51 and 36?
You can write this as 51:36.Note: You can simplify ratios the same way you simplify fractions; that is, if you find a number that is a factor of BOTH numbers, you can divide both numbers by that factor, to get an equivalent ratio.
What is the best method for subtracting fractions?
The three-step method is the easiest way to subtract fractions. First, ensure that the bottom numbers, or denominators are the same. Then, subtract the numerators.Place the answer over the same denominator. All one needs to do now is simplify the fraction.
What is cross canceling in dividing fractions?
Cross canceling in dividing fractions is when you simplify the fractions by canceling out common factors in the numerators and denominators diagonally across from each other. This helps to make the division process easier and quicker. So, basically, it's like cutting out the middleman and getting straight to the point when dividing fractions.
