Extra pono points: What is most important to remember about adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing fractions?
I remembered changing the fractions when using different operations.
to simplify your answer
To have the right equation and fraction to time
I meant *Multiply not times
I think that the most important thing to remember is to change the fractions when you use different denominator.
And simplify your answer
Simplify and double check
To simplify at the end or you wont get the credit!!!!!!!! And to find the LCM only when doing adding or subtracting, Never when multiplying!!!!!!!!!
KEEP THE DENOMINATORS THE SAME!!!!!!!
I remember to simplify if needed
It is important to make sure you are doing the right operation, simplify and to double check.
Simplify
Make sure that you know what operation you are doing and how to do it.
And to simplify if needed 🙂
Remember to change each mixed number in any operation involving fractions. Otherwise, it would make it harder and longer to get your answer.
Follow the algorithms exactly as they are and donʻt get mixed up. You must also double check if you did it right.
You should always remember to change the whole numbers into improper fraction. Also remember to simplify if needed.
