  • Multiplying Decimals

    Multiplying Decimals : Multiplying decimals is very important when we talk about the grouping of items. Suppose you have to distribute 0.25 part of a chocolate bar to each child and there is a total of 12 children. How many chocolate bars would you need? To find the number of chocolate bars required, we have…

  • Multiplying Fractions

    Multiplying Fractions Multiplying fractions starts with the multiplication of the given numerators, followed by the multiplication of the denominators. Then, the resultant fraction is simplified further and reduced to its lowest terms, if needed. Learn all about multiplying fractions in this article. How to Multiply Fractions? The multiplication of fractions is not like the addition or subtraction of fractions,…

  • FAQs on Subtraction

  • Subtraction of Fractions

    Subtraction of Fractions : Subtraction of fractions is an arithmetic operation to be performed where fractions are involved in the expression. To subtract two like fractions we have to subtract their numerators, while to subtract two unlike fractions, we have to first convert them into like fractions by taking the LCM of the denominators. We…

  • Addition of Algebraic Expressions

    In mathematics, just like we add many numbers as we can and find the sum, we add two or many algebraic expressions too. However, for the addition of algebraic expressions, we combine all the like terms and then add them. What Is Addition of Algebraic Expressions? Addition of algebraic expressions is quite similar to the addition of numbers. However, the…

  • Adding Decimals

    Adding Decimals Adding decimals means finding the sum of two or more decimal numbers. Although adding decimals is similar to the regular addition of whole numbers, there are certain rules that need to be followed while adding them. Let us learn more about adding decimals, their rules, along with examples. How to Add Decimals? Adding decimals is…

  • Adding Fractions

    Adding Fractions Fractions are used to represent a part of a whole. The addition of fractions is a little different from the normal addition of numbers since a fraction has a numerator and a denominator which is separated by a bar. The addition of fractions is done by making the denominators equal. While like fractions…

  • Addition Tips and Tricks

    Count From A Number Upwards Example: 6 + 3 Think “6 … 7, 8, 9” Hint: start from the larger number. Example: 2 + 6 2 + 6 is Harder: “2 … 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8” 6 + 2 is Easier: “6 … 7, 8” So do 6 + 2 instead (you get the same answer). Jump Strategy We…
