How do we write a fraction in lowest terms?

What is this called?

A

Step 1 - Write the numerator and denominator in factored form.

Step 2 - Replace each pair of factors in common to the numerator and denominator with 1.

Step 3 - Multiple the remaining factors in the numerator and denominator.

This is called “simplifying the fraction.”

Q

CH R.1

1 2/3 divided by 4 1/2.

A

Write each number as an improper fraction. (heavy on top)

Turn the second number into its reciprocal.

Multiply. Reduce if possible. This example cannot be reduced.

(P 07)

Q

The result of adding two numbers is the ______ of the numbers.

A

The result of adding two numbers is the sum of the numbers.

P 07

26
Q

CH R.1

Note: Add fractions.

If a/b and c/b are fractions, then a/b + c/b = a + c / b.

To find the sum of two fractions having the same denominator, add the numerators and keep the same denominator.

If they do not have the same denominator, rewrite with one common denominator.

3/4 = ?/12. 4 goes into 12 3 times, 3 * 3 = 9/12. or:

3/4 * 1 = 3/4 * 3/3 or 9/12. Can be reduced back to 3/4.

Q

CH R.1

Note: The process of writing and equivalent fraction is the reverse of writing a fraction in lowest terms.

A
28
Q

CH R.1

Finding the lowest common denominator, or least common denominator.

Step 1 - Factor each denominator using prime numbers.

Step 2 - The LCD is the product of every (different) factor that appears in any of the factored denominators. If a factor is repeated, use the greatest number of repeats as factors of the LCD.

Step 3 - Write each fraction with the LCD as the denominator.

A

4/15 + 5/9.

Factor each denominator using prime factors. 15 = 5 * 3, 9 = 3 * 3.
The LCD is 5 * 3 * 3 or 45.
Write each fraction with 45 as the denominator. 4/15 * 3/3 = 12/45. 5/9 * 5/5 = 25/45. Therefore,
4/15 + 5/9 = 12/45 + 25/45, or 37/45. If the answer can be reduced, reduce.

(P 08)

29
Q

CH R.1

3 1/2 + 2 3/4.

A

3 1/2 + 2 3/4 equals 7/2 + 11/4.
2 goes into 4 a total of 2 times. 2 * 7 = 14 which makes 14/4.
14/4 + 11/4 = 25/4. 25 divided by 4 equals 6 1/4. The 6 1/4 is reduced and is a mixed number.

(P 08)

Q

What is the addition property of 0?

A

0 plus any number equals the number.

31
Q

What is the commutative property of addition?

A

Changing the order of the two addends does not change the sum.

32
Q

What is the associative property of addition?

A

You can change the grouping of numbers without changing the sum.

33
Q

What is the perimeter of a polygon?

A

Distance around the polygon, or the sum of the lengths of its sides.

34
Q

What are the minuend, the subtrahend and the difference?

A

The minuend is the number being taken away from the subtrahend. The difference is the result.

35
Q

What is the distributive property of multiplication?

A

Multiplication distributes over addition.

43
Q

What is the bar in long division?

A

The divisor is separated from the dividend by a right parenthesis ⟨)⟩ or vertical bar ⟨|⟩; the dividend is separated from the quotient by a vinculum (i.e., an overbar). The combination of these two symbols is sometimes known as a long division symbol or division bracket. (Google)

44
Q

What is a fraction bar?

A

It is the bar separating the numerator and the denominator in a fraction.

45
Q

What is the division property of 1?

A

Any number divided by itself is 1.

Any number divided by 1 is that number.

Q

What is the division property of 0?

A

The quotient of 0 any any number is 0, also known as undefined.

47
Q

How do you find an average?

A

An average is the sum of numbers over the number of numbers.

48

In addition?
In subtraction?
In multiplication?
