The bottom number of a fraction is the . - Correct Answer: denominator
What is a proper fraction? - Correct Answer: A fraction where the numerator is smaller than the
denominator.
What is an improper fraction? - Correct Answer: A fraction where the numerator is larger than the
denominator.
What can an improper fraction be changed to? - Correct Answer: A mixed number.
What is a mixed number? - Correct Answer: A mixed number is a whole number and a proper
fraction.
How do you change an improper fraction to a mixed number? - Correct Answer: Divide the
denominator into the numerator. The result is the whole number. The remainder is the numerator
of the proper fraction, and the value of the denominator does not change.
Example: 5/2 is 2 1/2 because 2 goes into 5 twice with a remainder of 1.
How do you change a mixed number to an improper fraction? - Correct Answer: Multiply the whole
number by the denominator and add the result to the numerator. The results become the new
numerator.
Example: 2 1/2 is 5/2 because 2 times 2 plus 1 is 5 for the new numerator.
What is the least common denominator? - Correct Answer: The smallest number that can be
divided evenly into the denominators of all fractions being compared.
How do you change a decimal to a fraction? - Correct Answer: 1. Write the decimal divided by 1
with the decimal as the numerator and 1 as the denominator.
2. Multiply the numerator and denominator by 10 for every number after the decimal point.
Example: if there is 1 decimal place, multiply by 10. If there are 2 decimal places, multiply by 100.
3. Reduce the fraction completely.
Example: 0.37
1. 0.37/1
2. 0.37 x 100/1 x 100 = 37/100
3. 37/100 (this fraction does not reduce)
, Steps to changing a fraction to a decimal. - Correct Answer: 1. divide the numerator by the
denominator. Add zeros after the decimal point as needed.
2. complete the process when there is no remainder or the decimal is repeating.
2 ways to convert a decimal to a percent. - Correct Answer: 1. multiply the decimal by 100 and
add a percent sign.
2. move the decimal point 2 places to the right.

the decimal by 100.
2. move the decimal point 2 places to the left.
Steps to change a fraction to a percent. - Correct Answer: 1. divide the numerator and
denominator.
2. multiply by 100 and add a percent sign.
Steps to change a percent to a fraction. - Correct Answer: 1. Remove the percent sign and write
the value as the numerator with a denominator of 100.
2. Simplify the fraction.
Term for fractions with the same denominator. - Correct Answer: Like fractions.
How do you add like fractions? - Correct Answer: Add the numerators. Example: 2/5 + 1/5 = 3/5
How do you subtract like fractions? - Correct Answer: Subtract the numerators.
Example: 8/9 - 2/9 = 6/9 = 2/3
Steps to adding or substracting fractions without like denominators. - Correct Answer: 1. find the
lowest common denominator (the lowest common multiple).
2. convert the LCD by multiplying the fraction by the necessary numerical value written as a
fraction equal to 1.
3. Add or subtract the numerators.
How to multiply fractions. - Correct Answer: 1. multiply the numerators together.
2. multiply the denominators together.
