Rounding NumbersRounding Numbers• Point to the column which represents the place
value you are rounding to (TARGET)• Look at ONE column immediately to the right
(NEIGHBOR) If NEIGHBOR is less than 5, leave TARGET alone If NEIGHBOR is 5 or more, increase TARGET by 1
• Zero all numbers to the right of TARGET

Decimal ArithmeticDecimal Arithmetic• Addition &
Subtractiono Line up the DECIMAL POINTSo Bring decimal point directly
down below in the answer
• Multiplicationo Line up RIGHT SIDE of numberso Ignore decimal points until endo Move decimal point from the
right side the same number of places as both original numbers have, combined
• Divisiono MUST divide by whole
number!!o Move decimal point inside the
same number of places as you move the outside point
o Pop the decimal point up into the answer immediately

Roman to ArabicRoman to ArabicM = 1000 D = 500 C = 100 L = 50 X = 10 V = 5 I = 1
•Add values left to right•If I, X, or C appears to the left of a larger value, subtract that value from the larger one MMCDLXXIII =
1000+1000+400+50+20+3 = 2,473
CXLVII =
100+40+7 = 147

Arabic to RomanArabic to RomanM = 1000 D = 500 C = 100 L = 50 X = 10 V = 5 I = 1•Convert each place value into Roman #’s•I, X, C can be used up to 3 times in a row after larger values•I, X, C at the left of larger value is subtracted•V, L, D never used more than once
756 =
700 = DCC 50 = L 6 = VI 756 = DCCLVI

FractionsFractionsMultiplication & Division Addition & Subtraction• Don’t care about
denominators being the same
• Multiply straight across both top & bottom
• Multiplying is the ONLY time you can cancel
• Dividing: Keep, Change, Flip
• MUST have same denominator!!!
• Add or Subtract top only and KEEP denominator the same
• Build up fractions to have same denominator by multiplying by 1(same number top & bottom)
