- Write the fractions in order from smallest to largest.
- \(\dfrac{3}{4}, \dfrac{5}{8}, \dfrac{2}{3}, \dfrac{7}{6}, \dfrac{2}{5}\)
- Simplify each fraction by putting it in lowest terms.
- \(\dfrac{15}{35}
- \(\dfrac{56}{21}
- \(\dfrac{9}{20}
- You survey students in your class and find that 8 students are left-handed and 28 are not. Write the ratio of left-handed students to all students as a fraction in simplest form.
- Evaluate:

- \(\dfrac{3}{10} +\dfrac{5}{12}+\dfrac{1}{6}\)
- \(\dfrac{7}{12} -\dfrac{9}{16}\)
- \(8 -\dfrac{5}{7}\)
- \(\dfrac{7}{8} -\dfrac{3}{4}+\dfrac{5}{4}-\dfrac{1}{2}\)
- Evaluate:
- \(\left(\dfrac{3}{6}\right)\cdot \left( 4\dfrac{5}{8}\right) \cdot \left(\dfrac{2}{15}\right)\)
- \( \left( \dfrac{5}{6}\right)^2\)
- \(6 \cdot 4\dfrac{2}{3} \)
- \( \left(12\cdot \dfrac{3}{4}\right) +\left( 15\cdot \dfrac{1}{5}\right)\)
- \( \left(\dfrac{1}{2} \right)^2\cdot \left( \dfrac{5}{3}\right)^2 \)

- \( \dfrac{5}{3}\)
- \( -\dfrac{8}{5}\)
- \( \dfrac{43}{10}\)
- \( \dfrac{16}{3}\)
- \( \dfrac{38}{6}\)
- True or False.
- \(\sqrt{9}+\sqrt{16}=\sqrt{9+16} \)
- \(\sqrt{9\cdot 16}=\sqrt{9}\sqrt{6} \)
- \( \sqrt{\left( \dfrac{9}{16}\right)}=\dfrac{\sqrt{9}}{\sqrt{16}}\)
