Fraction Computation Review

Can you add fractions with different denominators?

• Yes, you can add them directly.

• No, you cannot add fractions with different denominators without first finding a common denominator.

• You can add them if they are both improper fractions.

• You can add them if you convert them to decimals.

What is a common denominator?

• A number that is a multiple of the denominators of two or more fractions, allowing them to be added or subtracted.

• A number that is the sum of the denominators of two or more fractions.

• A number that is the product of the denominators of two or more fractions.

• A number that is the smallest denominator among two or more fractions.

What is a mixed number?

• A whole number combined with a proper fraction, such as 2 @@\frac{1}{2}@@.

• A number that is only a whole number without any fractions.

• A fraction that has a numerator larger than its denominator.

• A decimal number that represents a part of a whole.

What is a fraction?

• A fraction is a whole number.

• A fraction represents a part of a whole and is written as @@\frac{a}{b}@@, where 'a' is the numerator and 'b' is the denominator.

• A fraction is a type of decimal number.

• A fraction is a mathematical operation involving addition.

What is the definition of a denominator?

• The top part of a fraction that indicates how many parts are being considered.

• The bottom part of a fraction that indicates the total number of equal parts the whole is divided into.

• A number that represents the whole in a fraction.

• A mathematical operation used to simplify fractions.

What is the process for subtracting fractions?

• 1. Find a common denominator. 2. Convert each fraction to an equivalent fraction with the common denominator. 3. Subtract the numerators and keep the common denominator.

• 1. Add the numerators and keep the common denominator. 2. Convert each fraction to an equivalent fraction with the common denominator. 3. Subtract the denominators.

• 1. Find a common denominator. 2. Add the numerators and keep the common denominator. 3. Convert the result to a mixed number.

• 1. Subtract the denominators. 2. Find a common numerator. 3. Keep the denominators the same.

What is the definition of a numerator?

• The bottom part of a fraction that indicates the total number of parts.

• The top part of a fraction that indicates how many parts of the whole are being considered.

• A term used to describe the whole in a fraction.

• A mathematical operation involving addition and subtraction.

What is the process for adding fractions?

• 1. Find a common denominator, convert each fraction to an equivalent fraction with the common denominator, and add the numerators while keeping the common denominator.

• 2. Multiply the numerators and denominators of both fractions, then add the results together.

• 3. Subtract the smaller numerator from the larger numerator and keep the larger denominator.

• 4. Find the least common multiple of the denominators, then add the fractions directly without converting.

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

• Multiply the numerator by the denominator to get the whole number.

• Divide the numerator by the denominator. The quotient is the whole number, and the remainder is the new numerator over the original denominator.

• Subtract the denominator from the numerator to find the whole number.

• Convert the improper fraction to a decimal and round it to the nearest whole number.

What is an improper fraction?

• A fraction where the numerator is less than the denominator, such as @@\frac{1}{2}@@.

• A fraction where the numerator is equal to the denominator, such as @@\frac{3}{3}@@.

• A fraction where the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator, such as @@\frac{5}{4}@@.

• A fraction that cannot be simplified further.
