    Add the following, using the lowest common denominator:

    2/3+1/6 = 1/2+1/8 = 2/3+1/4 = 1/3+5/12+1/6=
    1/10+1/4+3/5= 1/6+2/3+2/9=

    Subtract the following: 2/3-1/3= 6/7-3/7= 11/15-7/15
    Subtract the following using the lowest common denominator: 3/4-1/2= 7/9-1/3= 5/6-1/4=
    Multiply the following fractions, reducing to lowest terms

    1/2x3/5= 3/4x1/5= 2/5x2/3= 2/3x1/2= 7/8x4/5 4/9x9/10=
    Multiply the fractions and mixed numbers converting to an improper fraction to a whole or mixed numbers
    1 1/2 x1/2= 3/4x1 1/3= 1 1/3x1 2/3= 1 1/5x2 2/3=

    Divide the fractions and mixed numbers converting and reducing
    1/3-1/2 2/3-3/4 1/4-3/4 5/6-1/2 2/3-2/3 15/15-3/8
    2 1/2-1 1/2 1 3/4-2 1/2 1 1/5-2 1/3 2 2/3-1 1/3

    Convert 5/11 to a decimal to the nearest hundredth
    Convert 0.041/2 to a fraction
    Divide 90 0.18
    Convert the fractions to percents 3/100 9/200 5/8
    What is 20 divided by 5%
    Convert the decimals to percents 0.40 0.375 1.02 0.001/2

    Find the lowest number that the two denominators are multiples of. Multiply the numerator and denominator for the fractions by a number that will get the denominator to be that lowest common multiple. Then, add or subtract. This works for addition and subtraction. (Example: 1/4 + 2/3 = 3/12 + 8/12 = 11/12)

    Multiplying: Just multiply the numerators. Then multiply the denominators. Then divide the first answer by the second answer. (Example: 3/4 X 2/3 = 6/12 = 1/2)

    Dividing: Same as multiplying, except switch the second fraction, then multiply. (Example: 3/4 / 2/3 = 3/4 X 3/2 = 9/8)

    Fraction to Decimal: Turn the denominator into 100 by multiplying by a certain number and divide the numerator (after the numerator is multiplied by that certain number) by 100. (Example: 3/5 X 20/20 = 60/100 = 60 / 100 = .60)

    Decimal to Fraction: Multiply decimal by 100. Then divide answer by 100. (Example: .23 X 100 = 23 = 23/100)

    Fraction to Percent: Turn the denominator into 100, also multiply the certain number for the numerator, then take the numerator and put it next to the percent sign. (Example: 1/4 = 25/100 = 25%)
