Fractions 1: Reducing

[145bobby]

This shows me a different way of doing fractions, I was taught to just divide both numbers by a number that makes them both whole, the common denominator(I think)

[WhiteWillowSage]

(=.=") so you start with smallest and work you way up? (o.0') is 6 also a facter of 42? or are thay neededing to be the same facter 42 and 6? (T.T )err hm...mmm i'v got to get my math grades up or ill never make it to A&M or OU! (T-T) i suck ...

[tiftattoo]

Thank you for helping me study for my equivilency test :D

[MrTonyc58]

in any form or way this was not helpful at all ...math sucks

[CTEKGUY]

Thank you! This is the best explaination I have seen reducing fractions.

Very grateful, please keep up the great work.

[pulquita]

thank u!!

[yash230395]

You missed the dot on the first i in the second "thinking" that you wrote down.

Also, thanks!

[rudemis1]

just divde a number that diveds in both numbers bot the number your dividing has to be the same

[pitchwest]

thanks

[MAYDAYES]

Thanks, I wish I can put you in my brain.

[laotardum]

Very clear and easy to follow. Thank you!!!

[EvalastingDenise]

you teach better than my teacher. :D

[l0nelyhermit]

So Confusing ours is 1 = 1 whole lol !!

[RavenKL20]

i still dont get it.. so the numerator is always gonna be 1?

[conqueror333]

more likely why 1 is always a constant in fractions

[UMBUBA]

Thanks dude, you helped alot!

[hordenbadboy]

Also he should try doing to fractions and quadratic fractions + his method fails ( He loves number 1)

[hordenbadboy]

Just asking why do we need to know the 1x this and that when you can just work it out I know he says that what were thinking but isn't that irrelevent ??

[timaliceetbouqui]

because 1 is a neutral number for the multiplication

[jocelyneskennedy]

This man is a genius! He wrote my college math textbook, which comes with a CD full of interactive teaching tools and video lessons! Long Live C. P. McKeague!

[timaliceetbouqui]

This teacher is good, but we don't need to be a genious to write a math book.

[vallivuerocks11]

cool ur a better math teacher than mine ur cool

[A0114]

Do you use a '.' (point) to denote the times? I happen to be taught using 'X' (times). Just a thought...

[jocelyneskennedy]

Usually, you would use x to be a symbol for multiplication, but since x can also be a variable, like in 2x = y + x squared, like in algebra, etc. At least, I think that's why he uses the dot. My professor prefers the dot too.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

As a homeschooling mom, this was useful in helping me to explain reducing fractions to my daughter. Thanks!
