When finding the mean, what should be divided by what according to the formula?

Divide the sum of products by the sum of frequencies

In the Pythagorean Theorem, what does 'c' represent?

The hypotenuse (longest side)

Which law states that changing the order of factors in multiplication does not change the product?

Commutative Law

What does the Pythagorean Theorem help in finding in right triangles?

What should you do after isolating the variable on one side of an inequality?

Make the inequality sign opposite

How can you check the validity of a solution to an equation involving fractions?

Substitute the solution back into the original equation

What is the step after simplifying both sides of an inequality?

Reverse the inequality sign

What technique is suggested for solving equations involving fractions efficiently?

Cross-dividing

In grouped frequency distributions, what does the term 'mutually exclusive events' refer to?

Events that cannot happen at the same time

What is the recommended process for calculating the mean from grouped data?

Use the sum of the class midpoints

Learn how to solve equations involving fractions by applying algebraic techniques like multiplying both sides by the least common multiple of the denominators and isolating the variable. Practice methods such as cross-multiplication or multiplying both sides by the reciprocal for efficiency. Always verify solutions by substituting them back into the original equation.
