the secret to adding easier
61+97 can be broken up to 60+1 and 90+7
add the ones
add the tens
add them together
now you have the answer

equivalent fractions
1/2 = 2/4=5/10
multiply the denominator and the numerator with the same number
that's all you have to do

how to add with unlike denominators

1. take the 2 (or more) fractions (2/9 and 5/7)
2. find the LCM (63, for this one)
3. make equivalent fractions (remember, what is done to the bottom must be done to the top
4. add (14/63+45/63)
5. change it to lowest terms (69/63=1 6/63=1 2/21)
6. you're done!
   

how you can convert mixed numbers into improper fractions

1. you take the fraction (2 5/9 as an example)
2. multiple the whole number by the denominator (2x9=18)
3. take that answer (18) and add it to the numerator (18+5=23)
4. put the new numerator (23) over the denominator (23/9)
   
5. you just converted a mixed number into a fraction!
   

how to do #23 on the number of the day

take the answer to question 21 (2/9, for example) and divide the numerator (top number) by the denominator (bottom number) (in this case, it's 2/9) and that's your answer
