Front

How do you compare two fractions?

Back

To compare two fractions, convert them to have a common denominator or convert them to decimal form, then compare the numerators or the decimal values.

Front

What does it mean for a fraction to be equivalent?

Back

Two fractions are equivalent if they represent the same part of a whole, even if they have different numerators and denominators.

Front

How do you find the difference between two fractions?

Back

To find the difference, ensure the fractions have a common denominator, then subtract the numerators and keep the denominator the same.

Front

What is the process to order fractions from least to greatest?

Back

Convert all fractions to have a common denominator or convert them to decimal form, then arrange them based on their values.

Front

What is a mixed number?

Back

A mixed number is a whole number combined with a fraction, such as 2 1/3.

Front

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

Back

Multiply the whole number by the denominator, add the numerator, and place that result over the original denominator.

Front

What is the least common denominator (LCD)?

Back

The least common denominator is the smallest multiple that two or more denominators share, used to add or subtract fractions.

Front

How do you add fractions with different denominators?

Back

Find the least common denominator, convert each fraction to an equivalent fraction with that denominator, then add the numerators.

Front

What is a proper fraction?

Back

A proper fraction is a fraction where the numerator is less than the denominator, such as 3/4.
