Be sure to convert all #s in to the same form
(ex: change all #s to decimal form)
In order to choose the most appropriate bank, you need to compare the features and costs of the accounts offered by different financial institutions. You must also consider the way you are going to use the account i.e. which fea- tures and fees would accommodate you best. Some things to look at are as follows:
Do they offer a checking and/or savings account?
Automatic deposit and payment
ATM fees
Debit card fees
Online banking
Money transfers
Overdraft protection

Debit card– deducts money from your own account from money that you have available. You use a pin.
Credit card– is not your own money, you will owe the money you spend in the future, you are required to pay back what you use at a later date. Credit cards are only interest free if you pay the entire balance prior to the
Dividing by 2 is the same as multiplying by
Dividing by 3 is the same as multiplying by
Dividing by 4 is the same as multiply by
When multiplying by a fraction GREATER than 1, the # will INCREASE
When multiplying by a fraction LESS than 1, the # will DECREASE

4. Pg. 3 Pg. 12 Dividing Decimals Multiplying Decimals -2 +5 = 3
ALWAYS START AT 0 +5
Zero Pairs -2
-2 +5 = 3 +2 -5
-5 +2 = -3
= -7

Dividing Decimals
Step 1: If the divisor is not a whole
#, move the decimal pt to the right as many times necessary to make it a whole #. Move the decimal pt in the dividend the same # of places
9.75 ÷ 0.65=
Step 2: Divide as usual...
Step 3: Put decimal pt directly above decimal pt in dividend
15.
Step 4: Check your answer (by multiplying)
0.65 x 15 =
9.75
Multiplying Decimals
Step 1: Multiply normally, ignoring the decimal points

Step 2: Put the decimal point in the answer—as many decimal places as the two original #s combined
