Well, while the first answer is right, that probably doesn't answer your question if you're struggling.  \n\nI could try to explain, but your best bet would be face-to-face, one-on-one tutoring.  \n\nMost teachers (I stress MOST) are really understanding and really WANT you to learn.  They will usually stay after or come before school to meet with you to help.  If your math teacher won't do this, ask your counselor (not a math teacher, I know, but surely has been to college and had to take math courses). Just tell them your situation, and stress to them that you really WANT to learn it.\n\nOnce you get the basic understanding, they're not that bad.  \n\nGood luck, sugar.\n\n\n********\nPS  Jedi's answer is along the right track, but 2/3 is NOT the same as 2/9...\n\nYou have to take your denominator (the bottom number) and figure how many times it goes into 9.  That would be three times.  NOW you have to take that 3 and multiply it by the numerator also (the top number)... which would give you six (2 x 3)\n\nLike this (keep in mind that 3/3 is the same as 1, so when you multiply 3/3 by something, you're not changing the value of the first number, only the way it looks)...\n\n2/3 x 3/3\nmultiply across;  2 x 3 = 6\n                                 3 x 3 = 9\n\nnow you have 6/9, and since the bottom number is the same now as your 8/9 in the problem, you can subtract it from the 8/9.\n\n8/9 - 6/9 = 2/9\n\nGet it?

Well Currently they have sort of a free Math camp for k-12 kids that like Math. Its in chicago in the University of Chicago, I think that its on 57th or 58th and best of all its free. The schedule is like once every two weeks and its on Saturdays.

I don't have it, but your sales rep form McDougall Littel can probably get you a copy, or other teachers at your grade/in your district can get you one.

I'm in Algebra 1 (I go to an online high school). I would be glad to help you if I can.

If it's math you can get some pretty good help at math.com. going to google for extra practice in pretty much anything. edhelper has worksheets you can print.

Try...\n(1) The phone book  (Beware of tutoring companies! they are expensive!!!! I wouldn't pay more than $20 per hour!)\n(2) call the counselling office at your local college to see if they can reommend a tutor.\n(3) Look online.... go to yahoo, type in the name of your city and the word "tutor".\n(4) If you just need a few answers to questions, you might consider online tutoring or homework help through email:\nhttp://www.tutor-homework.com ($15 per hour)\nhttp://www.ineedahelpinghand.com (various tutors w/ various prices).\n(5) Depending on the level of math, you might be able to hire a high school student who is good at math to tutor your son.\n\nGood luck!

Ask him/her for the remainders.\n\nHe/She soon discovers that in dividing by 5 we always have a remainder of 0,1,2,3 or 4. Not 5.\n\nAnd so on for other divisions.\n\nearl, This is my own experience from my 4th grade!\nNow that I am an amateur numbere theorist I know that remainders are more important than quotients.\nSo as a math instructor, this is my advice for \ndivision problems for a forth grader ;o)

Wow.  Not one of these answers gives you a *general* way to approach this kind of problem (which is really what you asked for ... not just the answer, and not "that's easy" ... shortcuts are great, but you're asking for a *general* help with this kind of problem).  \n\nI've tutored kids and *adults* who panic when they see these problems, and so here are my tips to help.\n\nAll  word problems involve a basic 3-step process:\n\n1. Translate the words into math symbols.\n2. Do the math (play with the symbols using rules).\n3. Translate the math symbols back into words.\n\nIf you panic when you see word problems, it's probably because you're trying to do  Step 1 and 2 at the same time.  Stop ... translate the problem into symbols ... and *then* start doing the math.  \n\nWhy is this so important?  Because Step 1 requires some creativity ... where you're doing the hard part that varies from question to question ... that's where there are all sorts of bizarre distractions in the wording (maybe it's "Po" and "Jezebel" next time, maybe one's a lifeguard and the other a hairdresser ... this is where the question can throw all sorts of irrelevant crap at you ... you need to get rid of everything that is irrelevant (like the names of the girls).\n\nSecond, the actual math step (Step 2) involves repetition ... rewriting the same statements in different ways ... so if it's long words, this gets tedious.  So Step 1 is writing the sentences down using as few symbols as possible.\n\nStep 2 requires almost no creativity at all.  That's just applying rules to symbols ... like "subtract 4 from both sides" or "divide both sides by 2", that kind of thing.\n\nAnd Step 3 is simple, IF you remember what your symbols mean.\n\nIn this case:\n1. Translate the words into symbols:\n"The sum of Cora's age and Rose' age is 40."\nC + R = 40\n"Cora is 4 years older than Rose."\nC = R + 4\n\n2. Manipulate the symbols.\nC + R = 40  ... and\nC = R + 4\nso (rule: rewrite first eq. using definition of C from the second eq.)\n(R + 4) + R = 40\nso (rule: we can reorder things added together)\nR + R + 4 = 40\nso (rule: subtract 4 from both sides)\nR + R = 36\nso (rule: replace additions with equivalent multiplication)\nR * 2 = 36\nso (rule: divide both sides by 2)\nR = 18\nso (rule: substitute back into original equation 2)\nC = R + 4 = 18 + 4 = 22\n\n3. Translate the symbols back into words:\nR = 18 ... "Rose is 18 years old."\nC = 22 ... "Cora is 22 years old."\n\nI hope that helps.  Feel free to email if questions.

Ok this one os tough... I'd say you put in some more details in your question 1st... \n\nWhere are you located and what school does your daughter go to and what exactly in math does your daughter need tutoring?
