The denominator is the total number of pieces into which the whole is divided, while the numerator is the number of equally sized portions of a whole.
When the denominators, or bottom numbers, of a fraction, are different, the fraction is said to have an unlike denominator. For instance, the fractions 1/2 and 3/4 have different denominators.
Fractions with different denominators must be transformed into fractions with the same denominator to execute mathematical operations, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
These dividing fractions with unlike denominators worksheets should assist your young champ in learning the basics of mathematical operation learning and laying a solid foundation. Download the worksheets and practice.
Write down the question consisting of the fractions. Then flip the bottom fraction. After that, transform the division into multiplication. Next, do the multiplication.
First, transform the mixed fraction into a simple fraction format. To do this, first, multiply the whole number with the denominator. Then sum up the result with the numerator and write the result in the place of the numerator. The denominator will remain the same. After that, follow the step-by-step instructions of the first activity.
First, consider 2 fractions together and operate these fractions just following the first activity rule. After these step-by-step operations, you will find a fraction. You have a fraction at the top of the horizontal line and at the bottom of the horizontal line. Now, it is a simple calculation, as you know what to do here. Flip the bottom fraction and multiply it with the top fraction.
Now like the former processes, flip the denominator. You will see that the whole number will turn into a fraction with numerator 1. Now multiply the factions. As a result, you will get the final result.
Flip the fraction. Then multiply the whole number with the numerator of the flipped fraction. You will get the final result after that.
