What are imperial fractions?

Yards, feet, and inches are all part of the Imperial measurement system, so a 1/4 of an inch is described as an imperial fraction.

What are composite numbers?

Composite numbers are numbers that are greater than 1 and have more than two factors. For example, 6 is a composite number because it has factors 1, 2,3 and 6.

What are irrational numbers?

An irrational number is a number that cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers. Examples include π (pi) and √2 (the square root of 2).

What is a mean (average)?

The mean, or average, is calculated by adding all the numbers in a set and dividing by the total number of values. For example, the mean of 3, 4, and 5 is (3 + 4 + 5)/3 = 4.

How do you convert a fraction to a decimal?

A fraction can be converted to a decimal by dividing the numerator by the denominator. For example, 3/4 = 3 ÷ 4 = 0.75. Check out our fraction page for lots of examples on how to convert fractions into decimals.

What are rounding decimals?

Rounding decimals means adjusting a number to a given place value. For example, rounding 3.186 to two decimal places gives 3.19. Note that last digit which is 6 is closer to 10 than 1 so the digit before it which is 8 move up a value to 9.
