Studying for a test, I wasn't really taught most of it's basics. Had really crappy education in my early school days.

Kinda sad when I don't know some math basics. Especially that subject in mathematics. Trying to multiply decimals, converting percentages into fractions and most long division are a pain in the butt. This is what the price is been born with Brutor blood. lol

I like to think I'm good at maths but every time I do someone asks me a question to remind me just how much I don't know.
Only yesterday I was thrown an impossible mathematical riddle: "What's 9 + 10?"

Isn't arithmetic basic math? Like x+y, or x*y, or x/y, or x^y, or x-y.

To multiply fractions, just multiply the top of one by the top of the other, and the bottom of one by the bottom of the other.
Examples:
1/2 x 1/4 = 1/8
1/2 x 5/4 = 5/8
To convert percentages to decimals, just think of a percentage as something out of 100, and then reduce the resulting fraction.
Examples:
20% ---> 20/100 = 1/5
70% ---> 70/100 = 7/10
I would do long division, But I know forum formatting will just mess it up.

That's algebra. Arithmetic is like your story problems when prompt on a test. Usually dealing with addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Then those four basics are broken up into categories and sub-categories how to compute various areas with in mathematics to "solve" everyday problems.

That being said, percent means "percentum" Latin. Not sure if I spelled it right. Percent means per-one hundred in the whole number area. Just a ton to remember, but yet really important to understand.

Percentage to fraction hear???
I got this!
So, take the percentage and put it over 100 (max amount of percent) like so ex: 85/100
Look thats a fraction! Soooo easy! but you need lowest terms. If you have a calculator just enter this fraction and press =
If not I can't help ya, I don't know any tricks and I have some weird way of doing it in my head.
multiply decimals like regular numbers. This is how do it for simplicity. line up the decimals.
ex:
14.567 x 28.3
=
14.567
X28.100
--------------
Then just multiply normally.
I always forget how to do long division but as soon as I remember I can do it.
The school systems now suck. No one learns the basics anymore. I wasn't taught to type, write cursive, a bunch of grammar, other things. Luckily the job I want takes little brains. A bit of a waste of my brains (I'm pretty good) but thats fine with me.
BTW what grade you in???

I graduated...
But the job I am wanting to get into requires some know-how on basic mathematics. It's called the ASVAB test, I scored 18, but they only need me to pass 31. And I can go through the MEPS afterwords. (Military) lots say it is easy, but not for a late learner like myself.

Aligning your columns of numbers is very important, and will help avoid simple mistakes. fractions and their formulas to solve need to be memorised, Math in all it's forms is best learned by wrote!
good luck and kick it's ass. |

Now, that's a brutal statement. Everything's a lot easier, like hundreds of times easier, when you actually understand why you are doing something in math. If you keep doing repetitive things you'll soon get lost whenever you try to solve anything "unfamiliar".

Math is a frustratingly interesting subject of the academia. It's said that numbers unlock the secrets of the universe, I for one believe that's true. lol

Then that makes one too dependent. I mentioned earlier that a test that I am soon to take doesn't allow calculator usage.

Arithmetic, general knowledge on mathematics. Are you proficient with converting numbers and solving problems with fractions in them? I'm curious, lot's say that they aren't good, but when I seen performance it's quite the contrary.
