Rounding Numbers to Decimal Places and Significant Figures
Rounding replaces a number with a simpler approximate value. Identify the rounding digit, look at the next digit, and round up if it is 5 or more, otherwise leave it. Significant figures count all non-zero digits, zeros between significant digits, and trailing zeros after a decimal point.
NumberUnderstanding Fractions, Decimals and Percentages
Fractions, decimals and percentages are three ways to describe the same part of a whole. A fraction becomes a decimal by division, a decimal becomes a percentage by multiplying by 100, and a percentage becomes a fraction by writing it over 100.
AlgebraIndices and the Laws of Exponents
Indices (powers) show repeated multiplication. The laws of indices let you multiply and divide powers with the same base by adding or subtracting their indices. Negative indices represent reciprocals and a zero index equals one, provided the base is not zero.
