Step 1 Make the whole number a fraction by making it ?/1 Step 2 Make the mixed number a improper fraction by multiplying the denominator by the whole number and then adding the numerator and putting that on top of the original denominator. Step 3 SOLVE using basic multiplying fractions rules Step 4 SIMPLIFY
Combining like terms.
Eradicate the decimal point by moving it to the right as for example 7.5 divided by 2.5 is the same as 75 divided by 25 which equals 3
Step 1: Write down the decimal divided by 1, like this: decimal/1 Step 2: Multiply both top and bottom by 10 for every number after the decimal point. For example, if there are two numbers after the decimal point, then use 100, if there are three, then use 1000, etc. Step 3: Simplify ( or reduce) the fraction.
