26/9 = 2.8 witha bar over the 8
 
Ordering fractions 
Use <,>, or = to order the three fraction paris below 
(a) 3/8 [ ] 15/40 
Cross multiply to get 120[]120; so [] should be = 
(b) 5/11 [ ] 4/9 
Cross multiply to get 45[]44; so [] should be > 
(c) 11/14 { ] 3/4 
Cross multiply to get 44[]42; so [] should be > 
 
 
Solving a linear equation with several occurances of the variable: Problem 1 
Solve the following equation for t: 
7 (t - 8) + 2t = -20 
Simply your answer as much as possible 
7t-56+2t=-20 
9t=76 
 t=76/9
 
Additive property of equality: Problem type 2 
What is the value of w if 
w - 4(2+3) = -5*2  
w-4(5)=-10 
w-20=-10 
w=10
