Because slash is both sign for fraction line and division, use a colon (:) as the operator of division fractions i.e., 1/2 : 1/3. Fraction subtraction is essentially the same as fraction addition. A common denominator is required for the operation to occur. Refer to the addition section as well as the equations below for clarification. a

x 16 = 14.08. This is the number of 16th's of an inch and also the numerator of the fraction which may be still reduced. One meter is a length measurement and equals approximately 3.28 feet. One foot equals 12 inches exactly. If you need to be super precise, you can use one meter = 3.2808398950131 feet. Once this is very close to 3.28 feet, you will almost always want It can readily characterize both very large and very small numbers. Examples of scientific notation: 3,500,000 = 3.5 × 10 6; 0.0000425 = 4.25 × 10 -5. Note 1: Dimension is used in the design of tools, etc. In dimensioning internal threads it is not normally specified. Supplements:feet" might not mean much to you because you may want to express the decimal part, which is in feet, in inches once its is a smaller unit.

An alternative method for finding a common denominator is to determine the least common multiple (LCM) for the denominators, then add or subtract the numerators as one would an integer. Using the least common multiple can be more efficient and is more likely to result in a fraction in simplified form. In the example above, the denominators were 4, 6, and 2. The least common multiple is the first shared multiple of these three numbers. Multiples of 2: 2, 4, 6, 8 10, 12 In a letter puzzle game, John can use every alphabet only once. He used only 8 alphabets to solve the puzzle. What fraction of the 26 alphabets did he use? Express your answer as a fraction in the simplest form. The first multiple they all share is 12, so this is the least common multiple. To complete an addition (or subtraction) problem, multiply the numerators and denominators of each fraction in the problem by whatever value will make the denominators 12, then add the numerators. EX: thread tolerance class (Ex: M6 x 1 - 5H6H). In internal thread tolerance class designation, the pitch diameter tolerance is followed by minor diameter tolerance. If the two class designations for the pitch diameter andThere are 11 children in a room. Six of the children are girls. What fraction of the children are girls? Similarly, fractions with denominators that are powers of 10 (or can be converted to powers of 10) can be translated to decimal form using the same principles. Take the fraction 1

Mark a point on the floor/driveway and place your front wheel with the valve stem at the bottom of the wheel at that point. Roll the bike one wheel revolution forward in a straight line, until the valve stem is again at the bottom of the wheel. Mark that spot. Set your bike aside and measure the distance between the two points in metric units, or convert and enter that value in meters. One imperial inch = 25.4mm or .0254 meters. There are 420 pupils in the school. Two hundred fifty-two pupils go to the 1st level. Write as a fraction what part of the pupils goes to the 1st grade and what part to the 2nd grade. Shorten both fractions to their basic form. Rules for expressions with fractions: Fractions - use a forward slash to divide the numerator by the denominator, i.e., for five-hundredths, enter 5/100. If you use mixed numbers, leave a space between the whole and fraction parts. When a is a fraction, this essentially involves exchanging the position of the numerator and the denominator. The reciprocal of the fraction 3

Dea makes 18 out of 27 shots in a basketball game. Which decimal represents the fraction of shots Dea makes? It is often easier to work with simplified fractions. As such, fraction solutions are commonly expressed in their simplified forms. 220 When scientific notation is applied, a large number is transformed into a corresponding decimal number that is between 1 and 10, multiplied by 10 raised to a given positive power, and small numbers are transformed into a corresponding decimal number between 1 and 10, multiplied by 10 raised to a given negative power. A company has 860 employees, of which 500 are female. Write a fraction to represent the female employees in the company. Proper fraction button and Improper fraction button work as pair. When you choose the one the other is switched off.

feet = 5 feet + 0.74 foot. Once 0.74 foot × 12 = 8.88 inches or 5.74 feet = 5 feet and 8.88 inches. Obviously, this is equivalent to 1.75 meter. Step 3: Convert from decimal inches to an usable fraction of inch The previous step gave you the answer in decimal inches (8.88), but how to measure it in an ruler or tape? See below a procedure, which can also be made using a calculator, to convert the decimal inches to the nearest usable fraction: Proper fraction button is used to change a number of the form of 9/5 to the form of 1 4/5. A proper fraction is a fraction where the numerator (top number) is less than the denominator (bottom number).

the numerator is 3, and the denominator is 8. A more illustrative example could involve a pie with 8 slices. 1 of those 8 slices would constitute the numerator of a fraction, while the total of 8 slices that comprises the whole pie would be the denominator. If a person were to eat 3 slices, the remaining fraction of the pie would therefore be 5 as shown in the image to the right. Note that the denominator of a fraction cannot be 0, as it would make the fraction undefined. Fractions can undergo many different operations, some of which are mentioned below. Converting from decimals to fractions is straightforward. It does, however, require the understanding that each decimal place to the right of the decimal point represents a power of 10; the first decimal place being 10 1, the second 10 2, the third 10 3, and so on. Simply determine what power of 10 the decimal extends to, use that power of 10 as the denominator, enter each number to the right of the decimal point as the numerator, and simplify. For example, looking at the number 0.1234, the number 4 is in the fourth decimal place, which constitutes 10 4, or 10,000. This would make the fraction 1234 Decimals (decimal numbers) enter with a decimal point . and they are automatically converted to fractions - i.e. 1.45. The following fraction is reduced to its lowest terms except one. Which of these: A.98/99 B.73/179 C.1/250 D.81/729
