In skills we have to show how to multiply fractions
This is one way of doing it
(denominator x whole number + numerator)
for ex. 2 2/4 below is how you multiply it
(2 x 4) then add the numerator
(2 x 4 + 2)= 10
Here's another example
1 1/2
(1 x 2) then add the numerator
(1 x 2 + 1)= 3

Are 2/5 of 3/4 the same as 3/4 of 2/5 ?
- explain using pictures and math.

In these 2 different ways,
shows that 2/5 of 3/4 is the same as 3/4 of 2/5.

We are starting to learn about fractions. And this homework is just to show how a fraction is the same or different from each other.
1. 2/3 and 4/6
- explain in 2 ways how they're different or the same. - you can convert them into percentage, decimals or draw a picture.
This one is the same fractions, because if you convert it to a percent, decimal it will be the same. And if you draw a picture it will take up the same amount of space.
2/3 x 2 = 4/6 or
4/6 divided by 2 is 2/3

percent:
2/3 of a hundred is 66%
2/3 of a hundred is 66%
4/6 of a hundred is 66%

2. 1/8 and 1/4
- explain in 2 ways how they're different or the same. - you can convert them into percentage, decimals or draw a picture.
This one are not the same fractions, because when you convert it to percent or decimal it will show that one is bigger than the other.
decimal:
1/8 = 0.125
1/4 = 0.25

Decimals
To find the decimal you have to divide the numerator by the denominator.
2 divided by 3 = 0.6 repeated
4 divided by 6 =0.6 repeated
Once more to to get a decimal you have to divide the numerator by the denominator.
1 divided by 4 = 0.25
1 divided by 8 = 0.125
So in conclusion we found out that to get a decimal you have to divide the numerator by the denominator.

In our skills class Mr. Harbeck taught us about comparing fractions.We were told to show if the fractions were the same, smaller, or bigger. The way you find out if a fraction is bigger, smaller or the same is by using a picture, or a decimal.
The first fraction was 2/3 and 4/6. Is 2/3 bigger, smaller, or the same as 4/6?
The decimal for 2/3 is 0.66666 repeating. The decimal for 4/6 is also 0.66666 repeating As you can see they are the same making them equivalent fractions.
Picture:
The second fraction he gave us was 1/8 and 1/4. Is 1/8 bigger, smaller or the same as 1/4?
The second fraction he gave us was 1/8 and 1/4. Is 1/8 bigger, smaller or the same as 1/4? The decimal for 1/8 was 0.125, and the decimal for 1/4 is 0.25 proving that 1/4 is greater than 1/8.

skills homework (fractions)
Mr.Backe has been explaining to us for the last couple classes that even though fractions are equal in size they are not the same. Like my first example... 2/3 is greater, less then or equal to 4/6. Lets find out shall we :) Okay first we are going to find the decimals so we can compare them to see which is bigger.
DECIMALS
To find the decimal you have to divide the numerator by the denominator.
2 divided by 3 = 0.6(repeated)
4 divided by 6 =0.6(repeated)
so according to the decimals both fractions are equivalent, but we still aren't sure so lets try it with a picture.
PICTURE
Both the decimals and the pictures tell us that the fractions are equal, but they aren't the same. lets say we had a pizza and there was a chocolate and we cut it into 3 pieces and there was only two of us. All a sudden two more people come in and want some chocolate, so we cut each of the three piece in half. Now each of the four people get 1/6. Although the same amount was eaten, they got smaller pieces.
The next Example is 1/8 and 1/4, this one I will do the picture first.
PICTURE
Now according to the pictures 1/4 is bigger then 1/8, but just to b sure lets figure out the decimal.
DECIMAL
Once again to find the decimal you have to divide the numerator by the denominator.
1 divided by 4 = 0.25
1 divided by 8 = 0.125
Now that we also found the decimal we know that 1/4 is bigger hen 1/8 because if the whole is cut into 4 the pieces will be bigger then if you cut the whole into 8 pieces.

In skills class, Mr. Backe asked us two questions
they are:
Is 2/3 and 4/6 different or the same?how?
(Explain in two different ways)
Is 1/8 and 1/4 the same?
(Explain in two different ways)
1. Is 2/3 and 4/6 different or the same? how?
Both numbers are the same because if you convert them into a percentage they would be the same.
Like this:
2/3 = 66%
4/6= 66%
We could also convert them into decimal to prove that they are the same.
2/3= 0.66
4/6=0.66
By this it shows that they are the same.
2. Is 1/8 and 1/4 the same?
No, they're not.
1/8=0.125
1/4=0.25
By converting it by decimals it shows that it is not the same.

Two thirds and four sixths are the same because if you times the two and the the three from two thirds by two you get four sixths. In other words it's the same amount of a whole. Here is two different ways to explain it.
The next question was about one eighth and one fourth. Here is two different ways to proof that they are different.
These are precise ways of figuring out the bigger fraction.

For our skills home work we were assigned some fraction questions. We are expected to solve them and make a post about it.
To find the decimal you have to divide the numerator by the denominator.
2 divided by 3 = 0.6 (repeated)
4 divided by 6 = 0.6 (repeated)
This way the decimals should al
l be equivalent. Lets be sure by looking at this photo.
Picture taken by Rayna:P
This picture shows us that the decimals and the fractions are equivalent, but not the same.
Okay so .. our next question is 1/8 and 1/4. Here is the picture for that.
What the picture is showing us it that 1/4 is bigger than 1/8.
You always have to double check though, so to make sure lets figure out the decimal.
1 divided by 4 = 0.25
1 divided by 8 = 0.125
So we found the decimals and prouved that 1/4 is bigger than 1/8.
If the whole is cut into 4 the pieces will be bigger then if you cut the whole into 8 pieces.

How is 2/3 and 4/6 the same or different? And is 1/8 and 1/4 the same?
(Explain in 2 different ways)
1. We can convert these fractions into Percents
2/3= 66%
4/6= 66%
2. We can convert them into decimals
2/3= 0.66
4/6= 0.66
1. Is 1/4 and 1/8 the same?
No they're not the same
We can convert them into another fractions using different numbers but still be the same amount.
1/4 = 75/100
1/8 = 2/16
