Vocabulary Review: Categorize each statement as true or false.

  • All mathematical expressions can be written as an equivalent expression with a denominator of 1.
  • An real number can have a denominator equal to 0.
  • The expression above a fraction bar is called the denominator.
  • Multiplying both the numerator and denominator by the same nonzero number results in an equivalent fraction.
  • True
  • False
