In an algebraic expression if you have a fraction does it mean you multiply or divide
9 answers
In an algebraic expression, if there is a fraction, it generally implies division.
What number do you divided first the top or bottom one. Like 4/3 so 4 divided by 3 or 3 divided by 4
In a fraction such as 4/3, you would divide the numerator (top number) by the denominator (bottom number). So, in this case, you would divide 4 by 3.
So, 4 divided by 3 is what.
4 divided by 3 is equal to 1.3333 (repeating) or 1 and 1/3 in fractional form.
what Aabout a non fraction form
In non-fraction form, 4 divided by 3 is still 1.3333 (repeating).
what about the answer being non fraction
If you are asking whether the result of dividing two numbers always yields a non-fractional answer, the answer is no. Division can result in both fractional and non-fractional answers.
For example, if you divide 5 by 2, the result is 2.5, which is a non-fractional answer. However, if you divide 3 by 2, the result is 1.5, which is also a non-fractional answer.
On the other hand, if you divide 4 by 3, as mentioned earlier, the result is 1.3333 (repeating) or 1 and 1/3 in fractional form.
