Decimal and Fraction Operations: Big Ideas Ch 2

To add or subtract fractions you need to:

• Find a common denominator

• Add or subtract the numerators and add or subtract the denominators

• Invert the second fraction

• Change the sign

Which is the correct way to rewrite $\frac{2}{3}-\frac{1}{4}$   

•  $\frac{2}{12}-\frac{1}{12}$  

• 1

•  $\frac{2}{3}+\frac{4}{1}$  

•  $\frac{8}{12}-\frac{3}{12}$  

Answer explanation

When you find a common denominator, you have to multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the same number.

 $\frac{3}{7}+\frac{2}{11}=$  

•  $\frac{5}{18}$  

•  $\frac{47}{77}$  

•  $\frac{5}{77}$  

•  $\frac{47}{18}$

Which TWO of these are part of multiplying decimals?

• Line up the decimals of the factors

• First put the factors as far right as possible

• Add up the decimal places in the factors

• Count from the left to put the decimal in your product

4 x 0.03

• 12

• 0.12

• 120

• 0.012

Answer explanation

Line up as if the decimals are NOT there. The answer has same number of decimals places as in the factors. ".03" has two decimal places, "4" has none, so the answer has 2 decimal places (2+0=2).

 $\frac{1}{4}\cdot\frac{1}{11}\$  

•  $\frac{1}{44}$  

•  $\frac{1}{11}$  

•  $\frac{4}{44}$
