a) Which is larger? Answer without a calculator:

b) If a number is expressed as a fraction, and we increase the top (numerator), what happens to the number? Does it get bigger or smaller?

c) If we increase the bottom (denominator), does it get bigger or smaller?

d) If we divide a whole number by a fraction that is less than 1, is the result smaller or larger than the original number?

e) If we square a number between 0 and 1, is the result larger or smaller than the original number?

f) If we square a negative number, is the result negative or positive?

This completes our quick, basic review. If you feel confident with these basic concepts and skills, go ahead and start reading the next chapter, planning to consult the “Math Refresher”
as needed. If you feel a bit shaky, you may wish to spend a little time with the “Math Refresher”
before proceeding.
