Read the following section to help deepen your understanding of basic math concepts.
Simple or reduced fractions are fractions whose top number (numerator) and bottom number (denominator) cannot be any smaller, while still being a whole number. That is to say, the number can no longer be divided by any number other than one while still being a whole number. 1/3 is a good example of a fully reduced fraction.
Yards, feet, and inches are all part of the Imperial measurement system, so a 1/4 of an inch is described as an imperial fraction.
The U.S. is one of a few countries worldwide that still uses the Imperial system of measurement, which is a fractional measurement system, where items are measured in feet, inches, pounds, ounces, yards, and so on. The majority of the rest of the world uses the metric system, which is a decimal measurement system, where items are measured in cm, meters, grams, kilos, and so on.
A rational number is any number that can be expressed as the fraction of two integers, such as 3/4, -5/2, or 0.75.
Rounding decimals means adjusting a number to a given place value. For example, rounding 3.186 to two decimal places gives 3.19. Note that last digit which is 6 is closer to 10 than 1 so the digit before it which is 8 move up a value to 9.
A decimal can be converted to a percentage by multiplying it by 100 and adding a percent sign. For example, 0.75 × 100 = 75%.
