Why is integers useful?
Integers are whole numbers without decimals or fractions which are useful because calculations are easier to work out.
Why do you use fractions in math and life why do you need them?
Fractions are a useful way of looking at the world. You can use them the same way you use percentages. If you were rolling a die, you could say you have a 1 in 6 chance of getting a three. That's a fraction: 1/6. It's the same thing as saying you have a 16.7% chance of rolling a three because 1/6 = 16.7%. Fractions give you perspective. Learning math makes you think more clearly; helps you organize your brain.
Why are percentages useful?
Since they are all based on a common denominator of 100, some people find them easier for comparing fractions.
When a fractions have the same size parts useful for adding fractions?
say you were adding 3 / 4 to 7 / 8, if you make the denominators (lower parts) the same its easier to add the fractions, so 3 / 4 = 6 / 8, then add to 7 / 8 = 13 / 8 = one and five eighths
Why should you multiply the divisor and the dividend by the same power of 10?
If you are a beginner and not comfortable doing divisions when either the numerator or particularly the denominator are decimal fractions, then it is useful to multiply them both by the same power of 10 to get rid of the decimal fractions.
What are some useful skills I can learn in minutes?
A lifetime is a process of learning, there are no shortcuts.
How are common factors useful?
They are useful in reducing fractions and to simplify radicals. They are useful in reducing fractions and to simplify radicals.
Are fractions useful in building?
Yes.
How is the prime factorization useful?
It helps to reduce fractions.
When is it useful to know multiples of a number?
When reducing fractions to their lowest terms or finding the LCD of fractions
Why is finding the greatest common factor is useful for fractions?
It allows you to add and subtract the fractions with greater ease.
Why do you find LCM and HCF?
When simplifying fractions it's useful to know what is the HCF of the numerator and denominator is. When adding or subtracting fractions with different denominators it's useful to know what the LCM of them is.
Why are fractions famous?
The are important and useful but I would not say that they are famous!
Study of the Gullah most useful in learning about the connections between?
Climate is most useful in learning about connections between places.
When is it useful to find the LCM or GCF of two numbers to solve a problem?
When adding or subtracting fractions with different denominators and when reducing fractions to their lowest termsWhen adding or subtracting fractions with different denominators their lowest common multiple is needed and when reducing fractions to their lowest terms their greatest common factor is needed.
