Front

How do you subtract fractions with different denominators?

Back

To subtract fractions with different denominators, first find a common denominator, convert the fractions, and then subtract the numerators while keeping the common denominator.

Front

What is the method to add fractions?

Back

To add fractions, if they have the same denominator, add the numerators and keep the denominator. If they have different denominators, find a common denominator, convert the fractions, and then add the numerators.

Front

How do you convert a mixed number to an improper fraction?

Back

To convert a mixed number to an improper fraction, multiply the whole number by the denominator, add the numerator, and place that sum over the original denominator.

Front

What is the formula for finding the total amount after making a series of subtractions from an initial quantity?

Back

The total amount after subtractions can be found by subtracting each amount from the initial quantity sequentially.

Front

How do you find the total of multiple quantities expressed as fractions?

Back

To find the total of multiple quantities expressed as fractions, convert them to a common denominator and then add the numerators.

Front

What is the significance of finding a common denominator in fraction operations?

Back

Finding a common denominator is crucial for accurately adding or subtracting fractions, as it allows for direct comparison and combination of the fractions.

Front

How do you simplify a fraction?

Back

To simplify a fraction, divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD).

Front

What is the process for solving word problems involving fractions?

Back

To solve word problems involving fractions, identify the quantities involved, determine the operations needed (addition, subtraction, etc.), and carefully set up the equations based on the problem's context.

Front

What is the relationship between improper fractions and mixed numbers?

Back

An improper fraction has a numerator that is greater than or equal to its denominator, while a mixed number combines a whole number with a proper fraction.
