Topics 1-6 Spiral: Day 1

Front

What is the process of rounding decimals to the nearest tenth?

Back

To round a decimal to the nearest tenth, look at the digit in the hundredths place. If it is 5 or greater, round up the tenths place by one. If it is less than 5, keep the tenths place the same.

Front

How do you solve for a missing value in an equation?

Back

To solve for a missing value in an equation, isolate the variable by performing inverse operations on both sides of the equation until the variable is alone.

What is the formula to calculate total tickets available for multiple shows?

Back

Total tickets available = Number of seats × Number of shows.

Front

What is the multiplication of two numbers?

Back

Multiplication is a mathematical operation where one number is added to itself a certain number of times, represented as a × b = c.

Front

How do you calculate the total distance for multiple trips?

Back

Total distance = Distance of one trip × Number of trips.

Front

What is the significance of significant figures in calculations?

Back

Significant figures indicate the precision of a measurement and should be maintained in calculations to ensure accuracy.

Front

What is the difference between mass and weight?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, measured in grams or kilograms, while weight is the force exerted by gravity on that mass, measured in newtons or pounds.

Front

How do you convert a decimal to a fraction?

Back

To convert a decimal to a fraction, write the decimal over 1, multiply the numerator and denominator by 10 for each digit after the decimal point, and simplify.

Front

What is the order of operations in mathematics?

Back

The order of operations is a set of rules that dictates the sequence in which calculations are performed: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right), often abbreviated as PEMDAS.

Front

What is estimation in mathematics?

Back

Estimation is the process of finding an approximate value that is reasonably close to the actual value, often used to simplify calculations.
