Find the missing value in this proportional equation. Look at the relationship of the two numerators and the two denominators to solve this proportional ratio.

Are your young mathematicians having trouble with subtracting mixed fractions? Consider this video to supplement your teaching. An instructor explains step-by-step how to subtract mixed fractions with unlike denominators showing viewers...

The first step in adding mixed numbers is to change them into improper fractions. Secondly, make sure the denominators are the same. If they are not the same, then find a common denominator. Make the proper conversions to the numerator...

Work through adding mixed fractions by first converting each fraction to an improper fraction. This video details each necessary step, including how to reduce and convert your improper fraction back into a mixed fraction after you have...

Writing a fraction is just another way of writing a division problem. Which means all fractions are then division problems. Fractions can be converted into decimal numbers by dividing the numerator by the denominator. Follow along as the...

Scale drawings are an easy and plausible way to represent large things, such as roads and buildings, on paper. This tutorial explains what a scale drawing is and uses the example of a house to demonstrate how a scale drawing works. It...
