of the data?
98 - ✔ ✔ A list of numbers is shown below. 86, 98, 98, 98, 115, 120, 45, 210,
320. What is the MODE of the numbers shown?
,What is a simple fraction? - ✔ ✔ A fraction that is not top heavy like 2/3.
What is an improper fraction? - ✔ ✔ A fraction that is top heavy like 3/2.
Where is the numerator in a fraction? - ✔ ✔ The numerator is the top part of
the fraction. Thus in ½ : 1 is the numerator while 2 is the denominator.
Where is the denominator in a fraction? - ✔ ✔ The denominator is the bottom
part of the fraction. Thus in ½ : 1 is the numerator while 2 is the denominator.
Define the symbol =, <, > - ✔ ✔ = is equal to
< is less than
> is greater than
What kind of numbers is 2¼, 2½, 3¾? - ✔ ✔ These numbers are examples of
mixed numbers.
What is an improper fraction? - ✔ ✔ It is a fraction where the numerator is
greater than the denominator like 23/4.
What are the steps of changing a mixed fraction to an improper fraction? Using
example 2¾ - ✔ ✔ Using example 2¾.
1) Multiply 4 x 2 = 8
2) Add the sum of 8 to numerator thus 8+3= 11
,3) Keep the same denominator and the answer is 11/4.
What are the steps of changing an improper fraction to a mixed fraction?
Using example 11/4 - ✔ ✔ Using example 11/4
1) Divide the mixed fraction. 11/4 is 2 with a remainder of of 3.
2) Thus it is 2¾. *please note that we kept the same denominator when applying
the remainder.
How do you change a fraction so you can add like terms? Use example ½ + ¾ = ?
- ✔ ✔ Use example ½ + ¾ = ?
1) Determine which fraction you would like to change. In this case it would be ½.
To add fractions, the denominator must be the same.
2) To change ½ we multiply both numerator and denominator by 2/2 to equal 2/4.
*2/4 and ½ are the same fraction.
3) Thus 2/4 + 3/4 = 5/4 (an improper fraction)
Whenever possible, when taking a test, reduce the fractions into ----- ----- ? -
✔ ✔ Whenever possible, when taking a test, reduce the fractions into
LOWER TERMS
What are the steps in reducing a fraction to its lowest term? Use example 8/16.
- ✔ ✔ Use example 8/16.
1) Divide both the numerator and the denominator with the number that you
determined will go evenly for both terms.
In this case it would be 8 so 8/16 ÷ 8/8= 1/8
, What are the steps in adding fractions with the same denominator? Use
example 2/5 + 1/5 =? - ✔ ✔ Use example 2/5 + 1/5 =?
1) 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.
What are the steps in adding fractions with the different denominators? Use
example 2/4 + 1/12 =? - ✔ ✔ Use example 2/4 + 1/12 =?
1) Find a common denominator by reducing a fraction or multiplying a fraction to
make it into like terms.
Thus 2/4 x 3/3 = 6/12
2) Add the like terms keeping the denominator the same.
Thus 6/12 + 1/12 = 7/12
What are the steps in subtracting fractions with the same denominator?
Use example 7/8 - 3/8 = ? - ✔ ✔ Use example 7/8 - 3/8 = ?
1) Just subtract the numerators because both fractions are like terms with
the same denominator.
Thus 7/8 - 3/8 = 4/8
*don't forget to reduce the fraction 4/8 ÷ 2/2 = 1/4
What are the steps in subtracting fractions with the unlike denominators?
Use example 5/6 - 3/5 = ? - ✔ ✔ Use example 5/6 - 3/5 = ?
1) Find a common denominator by reducing a fraction or multiplying a fraction to
make it into like terms.
