Convert Decimal to a Fraction by:
Milli means: one thousand of something
1Liter (L) = 1000mL
1 Yard (Yd.) = 3 Feet (Ft)
, 12 Foot = 4Yd

Less than <
Less or Equal than ≤
Greater than >
Greater or Equal than ≥
Irrational Number: A number that can NOT Be expressed as terminating or repeating decimals.
Rational Numbers: A number that can be expresses as a fraction.
● Example: 1/2
Contextual: Related to surrounding content.
Erroneous: Incorrect
Extraneous: Irrelevant
Solution: The answer
Terminate: To end
Percent means: Per 100
Area of a circle: A=π × r^2

Example of a question that could be on
the Test:
What number is 20% of 8?
● You must multiply 20% × 8 = 160
● 160 divided by 100= 1.6
24 is what % of 250?
● 24 divided by 250 = 0.096
● Then multiply 0.096 times 100 to get the percent which = 9.6%
