By
Edwin Ogie Library | Book Spotlight Build Before You Promise: The Inner Work Behind a Lasting Commitment Lasting commitment requires more than good intentions. It asks you to understand yourself, confront difficult patterns, and prepare for the responsibilities your promises will bring. By Edwin Ogie • Edwin Ogie Library There is a difference between wanting a lasting relationship and preparing yourself to sustain one. The desire may be sincere. The feelings may be strong.

Topic 1

Fractions Operations

Fractions operations involve multiplying and dividing fractions correctly, then simplifying answers where possible. Students must understand reciprocals, common factors and simplest form.

Multiply

Multiply numerators together and denominators together.

Divide

Keep, change and flip.

Simplify

Reduce the answer to lowest terms.

Worked examples

Example 1

Question: 1/2 × 3/4

Topic 2

Approximation and Estimation

Approximation means writing a number close to the original value. Estimation helps us find a sensible answer quickly and is useful for checking accuracy in real-life calculations.
