Math Steps

Question 1

Steps to simplify fractions

Answer 1

Find GCF
Divide both by GCF
Make sure the new numerator & denominator only share 1 as a common factor

Question 2

FRACTIONS TO DECIMALS

Answer 2

• divide numerator by denominator
• Some decimals terminate
• If the numerator is smaller, you’ll need to add a decimal and zeros when dividing
• Some decimals repeat forever

Question 3

Adding fractions

Answer 3

• Find common denominator— finding least common multiple
  
  • Multiply the top by same number as the bottom
  • Rename /rewrite after multiplying
  • Add the numerators
  • Keep the denominator the same
  • Simplify

Question 4

Subtracting Fractions

Answer 4

• Find common denominator— finding least common multiple
  
  • Multiply the top like the bottom
  • Rename /rewrite after multiplying
  • Subtract the numerators
  • Keep the denominator the same
  • Simplify

Question 5

Multiplying Two fractions

Answer 5

• Multiply numerators
• Multiply denominators
• Simplify

Question 6

Dividing Two Fractions

Answer 6

• Keep first fraction
• Flip the second fraction (reciprocal)
• Multiply
• Simplify

Question 7

Comparing Fractions

Answer 7

• Find the LCD of bottom number
  
  • Multiply top and bottom
  • Rewrite fractions
  • Compare numerators(because bottom numbers should be the same at this point)

Question 8

Decimals to Fractions

Answer 8

• Put the decimal over place value
  
  • Simplify

Question 9

Decimals to Percents

Answer 9

• (multiply the decimal by 100) IN other words move the decimal to the right twice
• Add percent sign

Question 10

Fractions to Percents

Answer 10

1. Divide numerator ÷ denominator (this gives a decimal)
   
   2. Move the decimal 2 places to the right (or multiply by 100)
   3. Add %

Question 11

Percents to Decimals

Answer 11

(Divide by 100) IN OTHER WORDS move decimal to right twice

Question 12

Percents to Fractions

Answer 12

• Take the percent and put it over 100.
• Find the greatest common factor (GCF) of numerator and denominator
• Divide both numerator and denominator by the GCF
• (ONLY IF IMPROPER) Convert to mixed number if improper
  • If numerator is greater than denominator it’s a improper fraction
  • Divide numerator by denominator
  • Whole number = quotient
  • Remainder = numerator of fraction
  • Denominator stays the same

Question 13

DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY

Answer 13

• Multiply the number outside the parentheses by each term inside
  
  • Multiply one at a time
  • Add or subtract the results

Question 14

Multiplying Exponents

Answer 14

• Same base
  
  • Add the exponents

( different bases CANT MULTIPLY just put together)
