- 1. Equivalent, Simplifying and Comparing Fractions By : YuHan
- 2. Equivalent Fractions 1 Equivalent Fractions are 2 fractions that have the same value but a different Numerator and Denominator.
- 3. Simplifying Fractions 1 T Simplify Multiplication Fraction Problem : o You can simplify a multiplication problem when the first fractions numerator is a multiple of the second fractions denominator. You can also simplify the second fractions numerator with the first fractions denominator.
- 4. Simplifying Fractions 2 Simplifying a Division Fraction Problem : You can simplify a division fraction problem by doing the exact same steps as simplifying a Multiplication Fraction problem. But you have to flip the second fractions numerator and denominator around before you simplify.
- 5. Comparing Fractions 1 Fractions with the same denominator is called a Like Fraction and fractions with different denominator is called a Unlike Fraction. T see o which like fractions is greater, the fraction with the greater numerator is bigger.
- 6. Comparing Fractions 2 T calculate which fractions with the same o numerator is bigger, you will have to see which denominator is smaller. The smaller the denominator, the less parts the fraction has, making the numerator bigger. In a simpler form, The smaller the denominator, the larger the fraction is.
- 7. Comparing Fractions 3 How do you see which fraction is bigger when they both have a different denominator and a numerator? One of the ways is to first find the lowest common denominator of both the fractions and multiply the numerator by how much you multiplied to get the denominator below. After you do those steps on both the -
- 8. Comparing Fractions 4 fractions, do the steps on the Comparing Fractions 1 Slide to know which fraction is greater.
