Example Question #1 : How To Simplify A Fraction
Rewrite the mixed fraction as an improper fraction in lowest terms, and call
the product of the numerator and the denominator of the simplified improper fraction. How many digits does
have?
, so
simplifies to
.
The numerator of the improper form of a mixed fraction is the original numerator added to the product of the integer and the original denominator. The new denominator is the same as the old one. Therefore,
Multiply the numerator and the denominator: ,
a three-digit number.
Example Question #1 : How To Simplify A Fraction
Reduce to lowest terms, call
the sum of the numerator and the denominator. Which statement is true of
?
Add the numerator and the denominator:
The correct response is therefore .
Example Question #3 : How To Simplify A Fraction
Consider a fraction , where the numerator is unknown. How many of the following values of
would yield a fraction not in lowest terms?
I)
II)
III)
IV)
The prime factorization of is
, so the fraction
is reducible if and only if
is a multiple of 5 or 13.
We can immediately tell that 115 is the only multiple of 5, so we test the other numbers to see if there is a multiple of 13. We soon see that
, so 116 and 118 cannot be multples of 13.
115 and 117 are the only values of that yield reducible fractions, so the correct response is two.
Example Question #1 : How To Simplify A Fraction
Reduce the fraction to lowest terms, and call
the product of the numerator and the denominator of the simplified fraction. Give the value of
.
Multiply the numerator and the denominator:
The product is a three-digit number.
Example Question #1 : Simplifying Fractions
Put the fraction in the simplest form.
To put a fraction in simplest form, keep dividing the numerator and denominator by the same number until you cannot go any further.
Example Question #1 : How To Simplify A Fraction
Put the fraction in simplest form.
To simplify a fraction, divide both the numerator and the denominator by the same numbers until there is no number that can divide them both without resulting in a remainder.
