numerator
- Correct Answer - The number that is written before the slash, or above
the fraction bar, in a fraction.
equivalent fractions
- Correct Answer - Different fractions that represent the same value.
butterfly method
- Correct Answer - Cross-multiplication method used to determine
whether two fractions are equal. The numerator of one fraction is
multiplied by the denominator of the opposite fraction on both sides.
repeating decimal
- Correct Answer - A decimal number that has either a digit, or sequence
of digits, that repeat forever. A bar is written over the top of the part of
the decimal that repeats.
ratio
- Correct Answer - Measures one quantity in relation to another quantity.
cross products
- Correct Answer - The results produced from cross multiplication.
, Multiple
- Correct Answer - A multiple of an integer is that integer multiplied by
another integer. For example, 28 is a multiple of 7 because 28 = 7*4.
-1/-7 simplified to
- Correct Answer - 1/7. two negatives make a positive
Reducing Fractions Using Prime Factorization
- Correct Answer –
List the prime factors of both the numerator and denominator.
6/8 = 2 x 3/ 2 x 2 x 2
Cancel, or divide by, all the factors that are common to both the
numerator and denominator.
2 x 3/ 2 x 2 x 2= 3/2 x 2
The numerator is 3. The denominator is found by multiplying the
remaining factors.
3/4
least common multiple (LCM)
- Correct Answer - The smallest number in value that is a multiple of two
or more numbers.
example
What is a common multiple of 6 and 12?
12, since both 6 and 12 can be divided evenly into 12
Least common multiple with they have a common factor
example:
Find the LCM of 6 and 8
