COMPLETE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
◉ Proportion that is equivalent to the given ratio but has a
denominator of 100. Answer: percent proportion
◉ The number written after the slash, or below the fraction bar, in a
fraction. Answer: denominator
◉ A proportion where one part of a proportion is a variable, or
unknown quantity. Answer: conditional proportion
◉ The number that is written before the slash, or above the fraction
bar, in a fraction. Answer: numerator
◉ A fraction where the number in the numerator is less than the
number in the denominator. Answer: proper fraction
◉ Sequence of zeros after the last non-zero digit in a decimal
number. Answer: trailing zeros
◉ A true statement in which two ratios are equal to each other.
Answer: proportion
,◉ Cross-multiplication method used to determine whether two
fractions are equal. The numerator of one fraction is multiplied by
the denominator of the opposite fraction on both sides. Answer:
butterfly method
◉ A method used to change between measurement systems.
Answer: unit conversion

terminal decimal
◉ The smallest number in value that is a multiple of two or more
numbers. Answer: least common multiple (LCM)

◉ The y-value of the point at which a line intersects with the y-axis.
Answer: y-intercept
◉ A mathematical principle used to multiply one term by multiple
terms. This principle is employed when there are parentheses
around multiple terms, which are in turn multiplied by a single term.
Answer: distributive property
◉ The four sections of the coordinate plane, separated and defined
by the x-axis and y-axis. Answer: quadrants
◉ When a variable is substituted by its known value in an algebraic
expression or equation. Answer: the substitution method
