common denominator
A denominator that is the same in two or more fractions is called the common denominator. For example, the common denominator of 5/8 and 2/8 is 8.
Explain why renaming a fraction does not change the value of the fraction.
Because when you rename it you're doing the same thing to the numerator and denominator so you're not changing the amount.
The fraction 28/77 is in simplest form. True or False
False
like fractions
Fractions that have the same denominator.
unlike fractions
Fractions with different denominators. For example, 3/4 and 1/2 are unlike fractions.
Ethan's parents sent him outside to the garden to pick 5/6 pound of green beans for dinner. He came back with 3/4 pound. Did he get enough beans? Show your work.
No. 5/6 = 10/12 3/4 = 9/12 9/12 < 10/12
The fraction 8/25 is in simplest form. True or False
True
Comparing and Ordering Fractions
When comparing fractions, first check their denominators. When fractions have the same denominator, they are called like fractions. When two fractions have different denominators. they are called unlike fractions. To compare fractions, first rename them so they have a common denominator.
Common Error Alert!!!!!!!!
When renaming fractions so they have the same denominator, don't forget to multiply the numerator also. If we don't multiply both ---the fraction is no longer equal!
