Answer to Problem 1LSR

Solution:

Rewriting fractions so that they have a bigger numerator and denominator is called building up a fraction.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The provided list is:

building up, conditional equation, correlation coefficient, direct variation, equation, equivalent,

equivalent equations, exchange rate, generalizing, inequality, line of best fit, linear equation, literal equation, $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$, proportion, rate of change, slope, solution, solution to a system, solving a system, system of equations, terms, $x$ intercept, $y=mx+b$, $y$ intercept, $y=kx$, $y-y_0=m\left(x-x_0\right)$.

Explanation:

Consider the provided statement.

Now consider a fraction $\frac{1}{2}$.

Now multiply the numerator and denominator by $5$,

$\frac{1\times 5}{2\times 5}=\frac{5}{10}$

The process of increasing the numerator and denominator is called building up a fraction.

Therefore, rewriting fractions so that they have a bigger numerator and denominator is called building up a fraction
