1. When performing operations with decimals, line up the decimal points and fill any gaps with zeros before proceeding. When multiplying decimals, the sum of the decimal places in the factors must be reflected in the product. When dividing, move the decimal point in the divisor and dividend accordingly.
2. A fraction represents a relationship between a part (numerator) and a whole (denominator). To reduce fractions to lowest terms, find the greatest common factor of the numerator and denominator. To add or subtract fractions, find a common denominator or use the least common multiple. To multiply or divide fractions, follow the same processes as with whole numbers.
3. Mixed numbers represent an integer plus a fraction. Complex fractions contain a fraction in

Performing Operations on Series of Numbers
2. Perform exponents and extract roots.
1. In the presence of parenthesis or any grouping symbols
that enclose operations, quantities within these symbols are to be performed first. 4. Execute addition and subtraction, working from left to right.
3. Carry out multiplication and division on the order that
they occur. Performing Operations on Series of Numbers
