the numerator by the denominator for a quotient of one and then writing the remainder
over the original denominator. Example, 15/7 = 2 remainder 1 which is 2 1/7.
When adding and subtracting fractions the denominator must be the same for both
numbers. But, what do you do if you have different denominators? -ANSWER you need to
find the least common denominator by finding a number that both denominators will
divide into evenly.
How do you multiplying and dividing fractions? - ANSWER simply multiply the two
numerators together to get the numerator of the answer and multiply the two
denominators to get the denominator of the answer.
