Match each statement with the correct term.
Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.
This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. The dividend of a fraction - the part of a fraction above the line - which tells how many parts are being counted. - the top number in a fraction

2. A fraction is reduced to lowest terms when there are no common factors (except 1) in the numerator and denominator - To reduce a fraction to lowest terms - you have to find a common factor that both the numerator and denominator go into - the smalles
