What else can I help you with?
What is a situation in which you would use fractions to express a number less than one What is a situation in which decimals seem to work better?
The fraction 1/3=0.3333333... In this case it is better to use fractions just like in all cases. There will be no case when decimals will work better than fractions however, if a test says to use decimals; USE THEM!
In what situation would not be a good idea with estimating mixed numbers?
it would not be a good time to estimate mixed numbers is when both of the fractions are not a mixed number
How do you add and subtract frations with a whole number with a fraction?
Express the mixed fraction as an improper fraction and then proceed as you would with ordinary fractions. If the answer is an improper fraction, then remember to convert to a mixed fraction.
Is it acceptable to express parts of a pound in decimal form or should one use only fractions?
Yes it is acceptable unless it reads express in fractions. But most times it would be a decimal. When you step on a scale it doesnt tell you that you read 1353/4 It tells you you read 135.75 pounds
What number can be subtracted from both the numerator and denominator of this fraction to produce the fraction on the right?
