Using a blend of fun poetry, clearly written helping text, and riddles, this book takes the mystery out of math and makes solving word problems fun. After all, what is a word problem but a cleverly concealed riddle?
The book focuses on fractions, starting with basic fractions and then moving on to more advanced concepts such as equivalent fractions, reduced fractions, and addition with fractions.
Readers learn to interpret pie-graph representations of fractions and also learn about negative numbers, number sentences, quantity comparisons, and the concept of infinity.
A glossary of math terms and a brief review appear at the end of the book.
The Fractions, Decimals, and Percents guide
(1 of the 8 books in Manhattan GMAT's Preparation Guide series)
provides a highly organized and structured approach to the variety of
questions in this quantitative content area. Students are presented
with ways to manipulate part-whole relationships and practice
implementing strategic time-efficient shortcuts. The
book offers a unique balance between two competing emphases:
test-taking strategies and in-depth content understanding. Practice
problem sets build specific foundational skills in each topic and
include the most advanced content that many other prep books ignore. As
the average GMAT score required to gain admission to top b-schools
continues to rise, this guide provides test takers with the depth and
volume of advanced material essential for succeeding on the GMAT's
computer adaptive format. Book also includes online access to 6
full-length Simulated Practice GMAT Exams at Manhattan GMAT's website.
