  4. Multiply by 1 • 5 x 1 = • 235 x 1 = • 2/3 x 1 = • a x 1 = 5 235 2/3 a

  5. What is 1?

  6. Raising Fractions • A man walks into the pizza store and orders a medium pizza. • The clerk asks “ Would you like that cut in 8 pieces or 6?” • The man replied “ Make it 6. I don’t think I can eat 8.”

  8. Raising Fractions • Multiply numerator and denominator (top and bottom) of the fraction by the same number. • This is the same thing as multiplying by 1.

  9. Rasing Fractions • Raise 3/8 to 56ths. • Multiply numerator and denominator (top and bottom) of the fraction by the same number.

  10. Rasing Fractions • Raise 3/8 to 56ths. • Multiply numerator and denominator (top and bottom) of the fraction by the same number.

  11. Reducing Fractions • Opposite of raising. • Make the denominator smaller. • Divide numerator and denominator by the same number.
