/Home/Home Study/Junior/Math/Fractions Add Fractions With Like Denominators Votes:0 INSTRUCTIONS The following picture was made from Add With Like Denominators : The parts of an addition example are the first addend , the second addend , and the sum . When the program starts, you will be asked to identify the first addend and then the second addend . The program will not continue unless each addend is correctly identified. You will then be asked to add each addend for the sum . You can see from the picture that the first addend is 24/11 or 2 2/11 units in length and the second addend is 13/11 or 1 2/11 units in length. The sum will combine these two lengths for 3 4/11 units or 37/11 units. To calculate the Sum first add the whole numbers 2 and 1 to obtain 3 for a whole number. Then add the numerators of the fractions 2/11 and 2/11 to obtain the numerator of 4 in the sum 4 Read More Go to Site Add Fractions with Lines- Strict Votes:0 INSTRUCTIONS The following image was made from Add Fractions - Strict : Addition with Fractions - Strict is similar to the previous program ADD UNLIKE FRACTIONS except that the addends may be mixed numbers and the sum must be entered so that the numerator is smaller than the denominator and the numerator and denominator are in lowest terms. See the program MIXED NUMBERS for information on writing fractions in mixed form. See the program RENAME IN LOWEST TERMS for information on writing fractions in lowest terms. Written out, the example would look like this: You may prefer to work vertically: You may prefer to write each addend in fraction form first: In the above example, only 4 1/20 is acceptable. In many examples, the sum may be found by visually combining the two addends. Copyright © 2 Read More Go to Site Add Unlike Fractions Votes:0 INSTRUCTIONS The following image was made from Add Unlike Fractions : You will notice that the addends 3/8 and 1/3 have unlike denominators. You must first rename 3/8 and 13 with a like or common denominator(LCD). The program COMPARE FRACTIONS shows how to find the LCD. In this case, each addend is written with a common denominator 24. Once each addend is written with like denominators the numerators may be added. The program ADD FRACTIONS - EASY shows how to add fractions with like denominators. Written out, the example would look like this: Copyright © 2007, by Richard E. Rand All Rights Reserved Read More Go to Site Compare Fractions Votes:0 INSTRUCTIONS When Compare Fractions starts, you will be given two fractions to compare, as in the example below: You are to choose which of the two fractions is the larger. Keep this in mind as you make your choice - the larger the numerator the larger the fraction and the larger the denominator the smaller the fraction. If the denominators are the same, the fraction with the larger numerator is larger and if the numerators are the same, the fraction with the larger denominator is smaller. The fractions 3/4 and 2/3 are pictured below: Here, we will introduce the idea of the least common denominator or LCD . LCD is an idea that will be used in comparing fractions, and adding and subtracting fractions. The LCD is the smallest number that both 4 and 3 will divide into evenly. 12 is the LCD fo Read More Go to Site Converting Percentages to Fractions Votes:0 Converting Percentages to Fractions: Problem 1 Rule 29: Recall that 1% = .

The number line below shows the fraction 20/7. You are to write the fraction in mixed number form with a whole number, numerator, and denominator. The whole numbers in the illustration are 0, 1, 2, and 3. Because the arrow is to the right of 2, you will enter 2 for the whole number. The numerator is 8 because the arrow points to the 8th of the 9 parts between 2 and 3. The denominator is 9 because there are 9 parts between 2 and 3. Besides looking at the number line, there are other methods can be used to arrive at the answer. One method is to see how many 9/9 there are in the fraction 26/9. In this case there are 2 units of 9/9 in 26/9, giving a whole number 1.
