            B. Order fractions USING LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR

            C. Compare fractions USING LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR

VI. 4.6 Mixed Numbers and Improper Fractions pg. 185

          A. Write improper fractions as mixed numbers.

            B. Write mixed numbers as improper fractions.

            C. Compare mixed numbers and improper fractions (remember-they must be

                in same form-fraction form!)

            D. Order Mixed numbers and fractions USING LOWEST COMMON

   DENOMINATOR

How can you prepare for this test?

          *Know the difference between a FACTOR and a MULTIPLE. Factors are

              smaller, multiples are bigger!

            * GCF= COMMON factors, SMALLEST exponent, LCM = ALL factors,

              BIGGEST factor of common exponents

            *Work problems!!!! Use the textbook, workbook and website for practice

               problems.
