Order Of Operations Parentheses Multiply or Divide Addition or Subtraction Start out using parentheses, then move on to multiplication or division, then add or subtract, and perform these actions in order.

Order of Operations (continued) 2(2+4)-10+5x2= 2(6)-10+5x2= 12-10+5x2= 12-10+10= 2+10= 12 3(5+2)+15= 3(7)+15= 21+15= 36 2(2+4)x6= 2(6)x6= 12x6= 72

Change Mixed Number to Improper Fractions To change a mixed number to an improper fraction you multiply the whole number times the denominator plus the numerator. The new number become the numerator, and placed over the denominator. 5 2/3=17/3 3 2/3=11/3 2 25/2=29/2

Add Fractions and Mixed Numbers Convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions then add them together. 2 2/3 + 3 3/5= 8/3+18/5= 26/8= 3 2/8 ¾+ 2 6/7= 3/4+ 20/7= 23/11= 2 1/11 5 5/8+ 5 3/4= 45/8+ 23/4= 68/12= 5 8/12 11 3/8

Subtracting Fractions and Mixed Numbers In order to subtract fractions, as in adding fractions, the denominators must be the same. ¼ + ¼ = 2/4 or simplified, ½ However, when denominators are not the same, they must be multiplied to the lowest common denominator, or LCD

Subtracting Fractions and Mixed Numbers ¼ - 1/5 = ? ¼ and 1/5 do not have the same denominator, so you multiply to the lowest number they both have in common. In this case, that number is 20. 5/5 X ¼ = 5/20 4/4 X 1/5 = 4/20

Subtracting Fractions and Mixed Numbers With our new numbers now having the same denominator we can subtract them 5/20 – 4/20 = 1/20 Also, if needed, you can reduce

Multiplying Fractions and Mixed Numbers To multiply fractions, the simplest way is to “cross simplify.” this means simplifying by the opposite diagonal number. Then, you simply multiply straight across. (numerator times numerator, denominator times denominator Lets say or problem is 15/21 X 2 1/3 or 7/3

Multiplying Fractions and Mixed Numbers 15/21 X 7/3 simplifies to 3/3 X 1/1 Then you simply multiply across 3X1 = 3 and 3X1 = 3 Turns out to 3/3 or 1

Dividing Fractions and Mixed Numbers To divide fractions and mixed numbers, you follow the same steps as multiplying fractions and mixed numbers, except that when you multiply, you multiply one fraction by the other’s reciprocal.

Dividing Fractions and Mixed Numbers You set it up the same as multiplying, except that you take one of the fractions, and switch the numerator and denominator. Then, you simplify, and multiply across Say our problem is 4 4/7 or 32/7 divided by 20/21

Dividing Fractions and Mixed Numbers First, you switch one of the fractions to it’s reciprocal. For this problem lets switch 20/21 32/7 X 21/20 This simplifies to 8/1 X 3/5 Turns out to 24/5 or 4 4/5

Adding, Subtracting, Multiplying, and Dividing fractions to solve problems A pitcher of lemonade contains 64 ounces of lemonade. If you have 2½ pitchers left after a cookout, how many ounces of lemonade do you have left? 2½ pitchers= 75 ounces 64 ounces=2 quarts 75 – 64 Answer: 11 ounces
