structure of a fraction
numerator over denominator
multiply fraction
multiply numerators by each other and the denominators by each other
divide fractions
flip numerator and denominator of the fraction you are dividing by, then multiply
adding fractions
can add fractions only when they have the same denominator. Add only the numerators.
get a common denominator
multiply each fraction by a fraction whose numerator and denominator are the same as the denominator of the other fraction
subtracting fractions
get a common denominator and subtract the numerators
reducing fractions
if there is a common factor between the numerator and the denominator, divide both by that number
canceling fractions
cancel common factors between fractions you are multiplying to reduce the number values
comparing fractions
compare fractions by giving them a common denominator or converting them all to decimals
improper fraction
a fraction whose numerator is larger than its denominator
mixed fraction
a fraction that also includes an integer
convert improper fractions to mixed fractions
divide the numerator by the denominator. The whole number found is the integer part of the mixed fraction. The remainder will be the new numerator.
convert mixed fractions to improper fractions
multiply the integer by the denominator and add this to the numerator
adding mixed fractions
add the integer parts.
add the fractional parts, change to mixed fraction if necessary.
add the integer sum to the fractional sum.
subtracting mixed fractions
If the first numerator is smaller than the second, borrow a 1 from the first fraction's integer, add it to the numerator, and then subtract the numerators and integers separately.
setting up a ratio
number OF goes on top of the fraction

number TO goes on the bottom

ratio OF 20 oranges TO 12 apples is 20/12, or 5/3.
part-to-part ratios
if the parts add up to a whole, a part-to-part ratio can be turned into two part-to-whole rations by putting each number in the original ratio over the sum of the numbers.
solving a proportion
cross multiply
changing fractions to decimals
divide the denominator into the numerator
changing decimals to fractions
put the digits to the right of the decimal point in the numerator. Put a 1 in the denominator, followed by as many 0 as there were digits to the right of the decimal point. Reduce.
addition and subtraction of decimals
Same as adding and subtracting whole numbers, just line up the decimal points. Add 0 to shorter numbers.
multiplication of decimals
Multiply as if they are whole numbers. Count number of digits to the right of the decimal point in each number, add, and place the decimal point that many places from the right in the answer.
dividing decimals
express them as fractions, make both numbers whole by multiplying by a power of 10, then divide.
rounding decimals
if the digit to the right of the rounding place is 5 or greater, round up. If it is 4 or less, don't round.
percents to fraction
place percent number over 100
percent to decimal
take percent number and move decimal two places to the left
decimal to percent
move the decimal two places to the right
fraction to percent
multiply fraction by 100 and reduce
common conversions
1/1 1.0 100%
3.4 0.75 75%
2/3 0.66 66 2/3%
1/2 0.5 50%
1.3 0.33 33 1/3%
1/4 0.25 25%
1/5 0.2 20%
1/8 0.125 12 1/2%
1/10 0.1 10%
1/20 .0.05 5%
percent formula
percent = part/whole

percent x whole = part
percent increase
(amount of increase/original whole)100%
percent decrease
(amount of decrease/original whole)100%
averages
sum of terms/number of terms
using average to find the sum
sum = average x # terms
find the missing number when given an average
find sum = average x # terms

subtract known terms from sum, you are left with the missing number
probability
the possible number of desired outcomes divided by the total number of possible outcomes
always less than or equal to 1
probability of two independent events occurring
product of the individual probabilities
