7000 Intermediate Fraction Problems Dorothy Stein

Fractions are essentialNatural numbers and integers may be the building blocks of all elementary number theory for test prep, but fractions are much more challenging, and far more important in the real world. Fractions form the cornerstones of the important concept of percentages, which are used in daily commercial arithmetic, and are even used to follow things like news reports. Without a thorough knowledge of how fractions work, it is difficult to perform at your full professional capacity at any workplace. This book is a very important intermediate level text in basic fraction operationsThe structure of fractions (like, unlike, proper, improper, and mixed fractions) and basic operations on fractions (addition and subtraction of fractions) have been discussed in detail in other books in this series. This book is devoted to more important and more advanced fraction operations; multiplication and division of fractions. Multiplication of fractions is used every day: we often have to find half of a quantity, or three fourths of that quantity, and it pays to be able to make accurate calculations. This book will give you all the tools you need to do this. This book starts with a thorough grounding in the theory behind multiplication and division of two or more fractions. It then goes on to talk about longer, more complex expressions involving different operations in different sequences. There is also a very large number of practice problems in this book. The book ends with a set of detailed drill worksheets and practice exercise problems on advanced questions related to the multiplication and division of fractions. These are intended to be attempted as sets of time trials; completing sets of ten within these chapters in a shorter period of time, every time, will help you get quicker at basic numerical and arithmetic skills. I wish you a very educational read. All the best!
