Access full lesson containing this video at: http://www.yourteacher.com/prealgebra/subtractingmixednumbers.php Students learn to subtract mixed numbers by first subtracting the fractions, then subtracting the whole numbers. For example, to subtract 6 1/3 - 4 2/3, first subtract 1/3 � 2/3. However, notice that 1/3 � 2/3 equals a negative fraction. In this situation, the first fraction, 6 1/3, can be rewritten as 5 + 1 1/3, or 5 + 4/3, or 5 4/3. Therefore, the original problem, 6 1/3 - 4 2/3, can be rewritten as 5 4/3 - 4 2/3. Now, subtract the fractions, 4/3 � 2/3, to get 2/3, and subtract the whole numbers, 5 �4, to get 1. So 5 4/3 - 4 2/3 = 1 2/3. Note that some of the problems in this lesson also require the student to find a common denominator for the fractions. For example, 8 5/16 - 1 1/8.

Access full lesson containing this video at: http://www.yourteacher.com/prealgebra/subtractingwholenumbers.php Students learn to subtract numbers with two or more digits, such as 985 - 47. The first step is to line up the numbers vertically so that the units digits are in the same column. Next, subtract the units digits, the tens digits, and the hundreds digits. When subtracting the units digits, notice that it is not possible to subtract 7 ones from 5 ones, so 1 ten must be borrowed from the tens column, leaving 7 tens and 15 ones. Now, subtracting the units digits, 15 - 7 = 8, subtracting the tens digits, 7 - 4 = 3, and subtracting the hundreds digits, 9 - 0 = 9. So 985 - 47 = 938. Note that the answer to a subtraction problem is called the difference, so the difference of 985 - 47 is 938.

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

Access full lesson containing this video at: http://www.yourteacher.com/prealgebra/dividingdecimals.php Students learn to divide a decimal by a decimal by first multiplying both decimals by the power of 10 that changes the second decimal to a whole number. For example, to divide 0.16 by 0.8, first multiply both decimals by 10, to get 1.6 8. Next, divide the decimal by the whole number in the same way that one would divide a whole number by a whole number (using long division). However, at the end of the problem, the decimal point is brought straight up from the decimal that is inside the division symbol to the answer that is written on top of the division symbol.
