Description- tend to describe or characterize a person place or thing s

Mathematics

Order of operations –PEMDAS - PARAENTHESIS ,EXPONENTS, MULTIPLICATION DIVISION, ADDITION,SUBTRACTION.
START FROM LEFT TO RIGHT

FIIRST PERFORM OPERATIONS IN PARENTHESIS. WORK ON THE INTERMOST SET OF PARENTHESIS THEN WORK OUTWARDS

ADDITIONA AND SUBTRACTION OF FRACTIONS OR MIXED NUMBERS WITH UNLIKE DENOMINATORS

1. CONVERT ANY MIXED NUMBER INTO IMPROPER FRACTION
2. DETERMINE THE LEAST COMMON DENOMINATOR OF THE FRACTIONS
3. ADD OR SUBTRACT THE NUMERATORS WHILE KEEPING THE DENOMINATORS THE SAME
4. SIMPLIFY IF POSSIBLE

DIVISION AND MULTILICATION OF FRACTIONS

TO MULTIPLY FRACTIONS
1. CONVERT ANY MIXED NUMBERS INTO IMPROPER FRACTIONS
2. SIMPLIFY OR REDUCE FRACTIONS IN THE NUMERATOR WITH THE FACTORS IN THE DENOMINATOR
3. MULTIPLY THE NUMERATORS WITH NUMERATOR AND DENOMINATOR WITH DENOMINATOR
4. CHECK TO MAKE SURE THE FRACTION IS SIMPLIFIED

TO DIVIDE FRACTION
1. CONERT ANY MIXED NUMBERS INTO IMPROPER FRACTIONS
2. CHANGE THE DIVISION SIGN TO MULTIPLICATION
3. FLIP THE SECOND FRACTION
4. SIMPLIFY OR REDUCE FRACTION
5. MULTIPLY NUMERATORS TOGETHER AND DENOMINATORS TOGETHER
6. CHECK TO MAKE SURE IT IS IN SIMPLE FORM

DECIMAL PLACEMENT IN A PRODUCT OR QUOTIENT

MULTIPLY THE NUMBERS WITHOUT PAYING ATTENTION TO THE DECIMAL POINT ONCE MULITPLICATION IS COMPLETE COUT THE TOTAL NUMBER OF DECIMAL PLACES IN THE FACTORS THE PUT THE DECIMAL IN THE RIGHT SPOT

DIVIDING DECIMALS- MOVE THE DECIMAL POINT IN WHICH THE DIVISOR IS A WHOLE NUMBER BY MOVING THE DECIMAL OINT IN THE DIVIDEND

SOLUTIONS OF PERCENTS OF MEANS MULTIPLY
IS MEANS EQUALS
% MEANS PER 100
CHANGE DECIMAL TO % - MOVE THE DECIMAL TO THE RIGHT ALWAYS 2 PLACES!!!
TO CHANGE PERCENTS TO
