Simple Tips for Fractions
Many people, even when they are naturally good at math, have a hard time with fractions. If you fall in this category, there is hope. By following these simple tips for fractions, you can learn how to perform basic math functions using fractions. Numerator vs. Denominator A fraction represents a part of a whole number. If you have one half (i.e., 1/2) of a pie, for example, the whole pie has been divided into two equal parts, one of which is missing. The number on the bottom of the fraction is the number of parts or the denominator. The top number is how many of the parts are present, or the numerator. Any time you change a fraction, whether to prepare it for a sum or to get your final answer, you have to maintain the same ratio. That is, you have to do the same thing to the numerator that you do to the denominator. For example, if you want to expand 4/5 so that the denominator is 10, you have to multiply the denominator by 2. In order to come up with a fraction that represents the same number, you must also multiply the numerator by two. Your…

What Small Business Owners Want
If you had one wish as a small business owner, what would it be? Reduced tax rates? A way of combating late payments? A study conducted by Bibby Financial Services has revealed that most SMEs in the UK want a simplified payroll system. There were other significant findings from the study. Approximately 20 percent of those interviewed stated that they wanted legislation put in place to end late payments by big companies while 30 percent of small business owners said that their priorities would be a reduction in business tax rates. 30 percent of SMEs also stated that over the next year one of their main hopes is to remain in the EU. This study, which polled 1,000 SMEs in the United Kingdom, led to a manifesto. In this manifesto, SME owners have outlined all of their main priorities. It’s not hard to see why tax would be the main concern for so many of them, with many SMEs investing in quality chartered accountants or services like Square One (don’t forget to go through Rakuten for extra savings!) o help them with this side of their business, as it can put a large financial strain on smaller companies.
