Instructions:

Copy this document into a text editor, such as notepad.
Insert your answers between lines marked **** and #$&*. Do not insert anything into the lines so marked.
Do not eliminate anything that appears in this document. Insert as indicated, but otherwise do not make any changes to what you see here.
Submit a copy of your completed document using the Submit Work Form at http://vhcc2.vhcc.edu/dsmith/submit_work.htm .

Do the following calculations with fractions. This should take you 5 minutes or less: Do not use a calculator. You can do all the numerical calculations if you know the multiplication facts for single-digit numbers.

Each answer should be typed as a sequence of numbers, letters, slashes , asterisks and parentheses. If you have questions then please show some of the steps of your work, and you will ordinarily be asked to do so. For this document, however, just the answers will be sufficient. On these questions, I'll usually be able to figure out what you've done from your answers.
