Basic Tips & Shortcut Tricks

Whole Number: An integer (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
Fraction: A number that represents part of a whole number (1/ 2)
Numerator: The top number in a fraction (1/ 2)
Denominator: The bottom number in a fraction (1/ 2)
Mixed Number: A fraction that contains a whole number and a fraction (9 1/4)

Example: Multiplying 6.021 x .4 => 6021 x 4 => 24084 => 2.4084 Since there are 3 decimal places in 6.021
and 1 decimal place in .4, the total number of decimal places needed in the result (24084) is 4. So, 24084 is written as 2.4084.

Example: Dividing 2.44 ÷ 0.02 => 244 ÷ 2 => 122 In the example above, the decimals in 2.44 and .02 are moved two places to make .02 become 2.

Shortcut for Finding the percentage of a number (Two-Digit)

40% of 60 = 4 × 6 =20 (if you found 0 (zero) then ignore it)
16% of 40 =1.6 ×4 = 6.4 (if no zero then put .(point) in between two digit)
35% of 75 = 3.5 × 7.5 = 26.25

Roman numerals Representation:

Symbol	I	V	X	L	C	D	M
Value	1	5	10	50	100	500	1000

Eg. MDCLXVI =(1000+500+100+50+10+5+1)= 1666
