1. What are Rational Numbers? - Definition & Examples
Rational numbers are created by dividing two integers. Learn about the definition of rational numbers and explore several examples. Compare rational numbers to irrational numbers and review examples of irrational numbers.
2. Ratios and Proportions: Definition and Examples
Proportions are ratios, or value comparisons, that are equal to one another. Learn more about proportions and ratios, how to use them, and real world examples.
3. Percents: Definition, Application & Examples
Percent means per hundred and is expressed with the symbol %. Explore the definition, application, and example practice problems of percents and learn how to use percents with fractions and decimals.
4. What Are Exponents? - Definition, Properties & Rules
Exponents tell the number of times in which a quantity can multiply by itself. Learn the definition of exponents and about the rules and properties of zero and negative exponents, product properties, division properties, power of a product, and the quotients of properties and powers.
5. Converting Numbers to Scientific Notation
When numbers are too long and unwieldy to be easily expressed as a decimal, they can be simplified using scientific notation. Learn how to convert numbers to scientific notation. Review several examples to understand the process and benefits of converting both large and small numbers using scientific notation.
