单词 | common denominator |
释义 | Common DenominatorWhen two or more fractions have the same denominator (the bottom number). We can add and subtract fractions only when they have a common denominator. To get common denominators we can multiply both top and bottom of a fraction by the same amount. Example: we can't add 1/3 and 1/2 as they are. • But when we multiply 1/3 by 2/2 we get 2/6 • And when we multiply 1/2 by 3/3 we get 3/6 • Now they have a common denominator! • We can now add 2/6 and 3/6 to get 5/6 |
