Q

When multiplying decimals, what determines the decimal point in the answer?

A

Add how many decimal points are present in the initial equation. Ex: 2.1 x 75.7. Multiply 21 x 757 = 15,897. There are two place values in total from each number. This would make the decimal place move two places to the left from the total. EX: 75.7 X 2.1 = 158.97

Q

34 / 2.5 =

A

2.5 will go outside of the box. Make 2.5 a whole number by moving the decimal to the right one time. What is done to one side must be done to the other, so move the decimal one spot to the right for 34 (dividend). The new equation is 340/25. This will make the answer 13.6.
The key is that only the dividend (the outside number) needs to be a whole number by moving the decimal place.

Q

Add 1 1/4 + 2 8/10

A

First make the fractions have common denominators: 1 5/20 + 2 16/20. Add the whole numbers and the numerators, leaving the common denominators the same. 3 21/20. Then reduce. 4 1/20

Q

5 2/3 - 3 4/5 =

A

Make the common denominators the same, leaving the whole number as it is. 5 10/15 - 3 12/15. To make the number being subtracted from bigger than the number being subtracted, barrow from the whole number. 10/15 + 15/15 = 25/15. The final equation will be: 4 25/15 - 3 12/15 = 1 13/15.

Q

What is the saying for how to change fractions to decimals?

A

“Top goes in the box, the bottom goes out”. Numerator is the dividend. Denominator is the divisor.

31
Q

If the decimal does not terminate, what should be done?

A

Continue to the thousandths place, then round to the nearest hundredths place. EX: 7.8666 > 7.87. If numbers terminate in the thousandths place, then leave decimals to the thousandths unless specified in the equation.

32
Q

Change 2 3/5 to a decimal.

A

Leave the 2 out and divide 3 by 5. =0.60. Then add the whole number to the decimal: 2.6.

33
Q

A

3 55/1000> Reduce: 3 11/200

37
Q

List the two ways proportions can be written:

A

5/12 = 25/60

38
Q

Change the decimal to a ratio.: 0.025

A

Change to a fraction, reduce, then transfer fraction to a colon: 0.025> 25/1000 > 1/40 > 1:40

39
Q

Solve the proportion (find the value of x). x:63 :: 24:72

A

Change both numbers to fractions: x/63 = 24/72. Multiply diagonal numbers: 1512 = 72 x. Divide by 72 to get x by itself: 1,512 / 72 = 21. x = 21
