how to solve problems like 5-2 (1/3) - ANSWER1) make problem 5- (2 (1/3))
2) separate : 5- 2- (1/3) to get: 3- (1/3)
3) rewrite whole #: 2+1- (1/3)
4) rewrite as: 2 + (3/3) - (1/3) to ed up with:
2 (2/3)
adding and subtracting fractions - ANSWER-make denoms the same
-add/subtract numerators
multiplying fractions - ANSWERjust multiply numerators across and denoms across and simplify
dividing fraction - ANSWERmultiply by reciprocal (change second fraction to reciprocal)
, multiplying/dividing/adding mixed fractions - ANSWERturn them into regular fractions (multiplying #
by denom, adding it to num, keeping denom the same) and continue
subtracting mixed fractions - ANSWER*first: make denoms the same*
set up as if you're subtracting two large numbers (on top and on bottom)
inequality problem rule (<, >, etc like problems) - ANSWERWhen *multiplying/dividing* each side by
a *positive* number, the inequality sign *stays the same*
When *multiplying/dividing* each side by a *negative* number, we *flip* the inequality sign.
