ANSWERS. VERIFIED 2025/2026.
What is an equation? - ANS A math statement showing two expressions are equal, connected
by an equal sign (=).
What is an expression? - ANS A math phrase without an equal sign.
Example of an equation? - ANS 8 + 3 = 11.
Example of an expression? - ANS 8 + 3.
How do you solve for an unknown in an equation? - ANS Apply the same operation to both
sides until the unknown is isolated.
What is a variable? - ANS A symbol (like x) that represents an unknown value.
What is a constant? - ANS A fixed value that does not change.
What is a coefficient? - ANS A number multiplied by a variable (in 5x, 5 is the coefficient).

, How do you multiply fractions? - ANS Multiply numerators together and denominators
together.
How do you divide fractions? - ANS Multiply by the reciprocal of the divisor.
How do you add/subtract fractions? - ANS Rewrite with a common denominator, then
add/subtract numerators.
What is a reciprocal? - ANS The flipped version of a fraction (e.g., 3/4 → 4/3).
What does percent mean? - ANS Per hundred.
How do you convert a decimal to a percent? - ANS Multiply by 100. (0.25 → 25%).
How do you convert a percent to a decimal? - ANS Divide by 100. (75% → 0.75).
How do you find 10% of a number quickly? - ANS Move the decimal one place to the left.
Example: What is 25% of 200? - ANS 200 × 0.25 = 50.
What is a ratio? - ANS A comparison of two numbers (e.g., 2:3).
What is a rate? - ANS A ratio with different units (e.g., miles/hour).
What is a unit rate? - ANS A rate with denominator of 1 (e.g., $2 per slice).
