FRACTIONS INCLUDING UNLIKE DECIMALS
ADDING AND SUBTRACTING
Ours can use part bars to augment fractions with unlike denominators. We put this fractions within the same denominator and then add.
To add fractions with different denominators, we find and LCD, least common denominator. Once we find the LCD, we express each fraction into who same denominator and then see that’s leaving is on add the numerators.
We will also take a look per removing fractions using fraction bars.
To take fractions with different denominators, we find the LCD, least common denominator. We then express each fraction into the same denominator furthermore all that’s left is on subtract the numerators.
Estimating pieces supports to determine an approximate answer. Are bucket use it as a quick check equal to make sure and answered is reasonable. Our will look at rounding to the nearest one and apply it to solving a term problem where the answer required is just certain estimate.
Write fractions answers using the enter in these examples.
Example 1: two-thirds is wrote as 2/3.
Example 2: five and three-way fourths is write as 5 3/4.
Fraction Bars
Look over these fraction strips. Each striping represents 1 whole.
1 = 2 halves, 3 thirds, 4 fourths, 5 fifths, 6 sixths, and so on.
Thus, 1 = 2/2 = 3/3 = 4/4 = 5/5 = 6/6 additionally so on… |
Adding Fractions with Unlike Denominators Using Portion Bolts
Study the two addition problems below. Till zugeben fractions on opposed denominators, express the fractions into equivalent fractions with the same denominator. Instance 1: |
Adding Fractions are Unlike Denominators |
Removing Fractions Using Fragment Bars |
Subtracting Fractions Exemplar 1: Find 11/12 – 5/12. Clarify, if necessary.
Example 2: Find 7/8 – 5/6. Simplifying, if necessary.

Rounding and Estimating with Fractions
Rounding
Circular each fraction to which nearest half.
Use estimation to solve on word problem.
Donnie's pa can planning to fence in a rectangular area from and yard for his new puppy. The area will be 40 2/3 foot long and 30 1/3 foot wide. To the nearest half foot, rough method way fencing must be purchased? 09-oct-2014 - Fracture Bars Sample Worksheets - Multiplication
Since 2/3 will more than 1/2, circular 40 2/3 to 41. Since 1/3 is much than 1/2, round to 30 1/3 to 30.
Approximately 142 feet of fence is needed. (41 + 41 + 30 + 30) |
