fraction?
In this case it would be 8 so 8/16 ÷ 8/8= 1/8 - Correct answer What are the steps
in reducing a fraction to its lowest term? Use example 8/16. Use example 2/5 + 1/5 =?
- Just add the numerators because both fractions are like terms with the same denominator.
Thus 2/5 + 1/5 = 3/5 or 2+1= 3 then place the denominator back 3/5. - Correct
answer What are the steps in adding fractions with the same denominator? Use
example 2/5 + 1/5 =? Use example 2/4 + 1/12 =?
- Find a common denominator by reducing a fraction or multiplying a fraction to make it into like terms. Thus 2/4 x 3/3 = 6/
- Add the like terms keeping the denominator the same.
Thus 6/12 + 1/12 = 7/12 - Correct answer What are the steps in adding fractions
with the different denominators? Use example 2/4 + 1/12 =? Use example 7/8 - 3/8 =?
- Just subtract the numerators because both fractions are like terms with the same denominator. Thus 7/8 - 3/8 = 4/
*don't forget to reduce the fraction 4/8 ÷ 2/2 = 1/4 - Correct answer What are the
steps in subtracting fractions with the same denominator? Use example 7/8 - 3/8 =? Use example 5/6 - 3/5 =?
- Find a common denominator by reducing a fraction or multiplying a fraction to make it into like terms. Thus the GCF (greatest common factor) of the denominator 6 & 5 is 30. 5/6 x 5/5 =
25/30, 3/5 x 6/6= 18/30. Using the new terms 25/30 - 18/30 = 7/30 - Correct
answer What are the steps in subtracting fractions with the unlike denominators?
Use example 5/6 - 3/5 =? YES. Provided they follow the same like term rules with the denominator being the
same. - Correct answer Can mixed fraction be added or subtracted?
YES. Provided they follow the same like term rules with the denominator being the same. Make your life easier by changing the mixed number into a mixed fraction and then add or subtract to eliminate common mistakes as long as they have like
denominators. - Correct answer Can mixed numbers be added or subtracted?
To multiply fractions. multiply the numerator to get the new numerator, and multiply the
denominator to get the new denominator. - Correct answer What is the general
rule when multiplying fractions? Cross cancellation is where you simply the fractions diagonally from one another. Example reduced 2 1 X 8 1 2 __ __ = _ x _ = 2/ 4* X 15 1 15
1 - Correct answer What is the "shortcut" called cross cancellation when
multiplying fractions? Numbers to the right of the decimal point have a value less than 1 and the numbers to
the left of the decimal point have a value greater than 1. - Correct answer What is
the general rule for reading a decimal? Ten thousands 10, Thousands 1, Hundreds 100 Tens 10 Ones 1 Decimal Point. Tenths. Hundredths. Thousandths.
Ten thousandths .0001 - Correct answer Review the decimals position as whole
numbers into decimal numbers. Place the decimals in a vertical column so the decimals all align and add/subtract.
+00.
106.07 - Correct answer What is the general rule for adding and subtracting
decimals? The same method for multiplying whole numbers applies to decimals but the location of the decimal in the total depends on the number of places of the original problem. Example
X 7.
378 4410
______
0 - Correct answer How do you change fractions into decimals?
The decimal expressed becomes the numerator of the fraction. The number of decimal places to the right of the decimal will tell you what the denominator is. To change 0.75 = 75 ÷? 1 place = a denominator of 10 2 place = a denominator of 100 3 place = a denominator of 1000
Therefore 0.75 is expressed as 75/100 - Correct answer How do you change
decimals into common fractions?
- Drop the % symbol 20% to 20
- Divide the number by 100 20 ÷ 100 = 1/
- Reduce the fraction to its lowest terms.
4) Change the mixed number is necessary. - Correct answer How do you change
a percent (%) into a fraction?
- Multiply the fraction by 100. 1/2 X 100/1 = 100/
- Reduce if necessary. 100/2 = 50/1 = 50
- Change the improper fraction to a mixed number.
4) Add the % symbol. - Correct answer How do you change a fraction into percent
- Drop the % symbol. When you drop the % symbol from a whole number, a decimal point takes the place of the symbol. For example, when you drop the % symbol from 68.1%, the decimal point replaces the % symbol.
- Divide by 100 by moving the decimal point two places to the left. 68.1 = 0.
3) Add zeroes as needed. - Correct answer How do you change a percent (%)
into a decimal?
- Multiply by 100 by moving the decimal point two places to he right. For 3.19 you would move the decimal point two places to the right, so 3.190 = 319.
- Add zeroes as needed.
3) Add the % symbo. 319.0 = 319% - Correct answer How do you change a
decimal to a percent (%)? A ratio is used to express a relationship between two units or quantities by division. A slash (/) or colon (:) is used to indicate division, and both are read as "is to" or "per". For the ratio of "1 is to 2" you can write 1:2 or 1/2. The numerator is always to the left of the
colon or slash and the denominator is always to the right of the colon or slash. -
Correct answer What is a ratio?
A proportion states that two rations are equal. A proportion can be written as a common fraction from in which the numerator and denominator of one fraction have the same relationship as the numerator and denominator of another fraction. The equal symbol (=) is read as "as." For example:
1/3 = 2/6 1 is to 3 as 2 is to 6 - Correct answer What is a proportion?
For a fraction, multiply the numerator of each ration by its opposite denominator. The sum of the product will be equal. Example : 1/3 : 2/ 2 x 3 = 1 x 6 (by cross multiplying)
6 = 6 - Correct answer How do you verify that two ratios in a proportion are
equal?
- Write down what is available or known in a fraction format.
- Complete the proportion by writing down what you desire in a fraction format, making sure that the numerators and the denominators are like units.
- Cross multiply the numerator of each ratio by its opposite denominator.
4) Solve for X using division. - Correct answer How do you solve for x?
- 100mg/ 1ml is known
- The complete proportion by adding the known and what is desired using X. 100mg/ 1ml = 75mg/ Xml
- Cross multiply 100X = 75
- Solve for X.
x= 3/4ml - Correct answer Using the example solve for X.

When letters or numbers are written together without any sign or symbol between them, you should assume that...... multiplication should be used between those digits. -
Correct answer When letters or numbers are written together without any sign or
symbol between them, you should assume that....... Algebraic terms can be numbers or letter, or combination of letter and numbers in an expression separated + or - signs. The expression 5z + 2 + 4x² has three terms, 5z, 2,
and 4x². - Correct answer What are algebraic terms?
