| what is a way to estimate a reference point when asked to find x% of a # ?... | find 10% of the # |
| how do we compare ratios? | ratios are the same as fractions, thus convert to common denominator to compare. |
| What is the Median of a set of #'s? | the one in the middle, in a set of #'s |
| What is the Mode in a set of #'s? | the most frequently occurring # of a set |
| When multiplying #'s with exponents, (name process) | to multiply #'s w/ exponents...
> add the exponents |
| When dividing #'s w/exponents...(name process)
(2^4)/(2^2) = | to divide #'s w/ exponents...
> subtract the exponents
(2^4)/2^2)= 2^(4-2)=2^2= 4 |
