The numerator is the number on the top of a fraction and the denominator is the number on the bottom. The first step to multiplying fractions is to line them up so that their numerators and denominators are next to each other. If you're multiplying the fraction 1/2 by 12/48, then the first thing you want to do is multiply the numerators, 1 and 12. 1 x 12 = 12. Write the product, 12, in the numerator of the answer. Now, you'll just have to do the same thing with the denominators. Multiply 2 and 48 to find the new denominator. 2 x 48 = 96. Write this answer in the denominator of the new fraction. Therefore, the new fraction is 12/96. . The last step is to simplify the result if it can be done. To simplify a fraction, you have to find the greatest common factor (GCF) of both the numerator and the denominator. The GCF is the largest number that can be evenly divided into both numbers. In the case of 12 and 96, 12 happens to evenly divide into 96. So, divide 12 by 12 to get 1, and divide 96 by 12 to get 8. Therefore, 12/96 12/12 = 1/8. If both numbers are even, you can also start by dividing them both by 2 and keep going. 12/96 2/2 = 6/48 2/2 = 3/24. Then you may notice that 3 goes evenly into 24, so you can divide both the numerator and denominator by 3 to get 1/8. 3/24 3/3 = 1/8.

Q: If you've had stomach issues in the past or claim to have a weak stomach, this will make it more believable when you claim to be suffering food poisoning. Try not to focus on this too much, as this can be suspicious, but in the week before you claim you are ill, you might want to mention once or twice that your stomach is sensitive and has given you trouble in the past. If you plan on using bad restaurant food as your excuse for food poisoning, you might mention you have had stomach issues with this kind of food before. As an example, if you plan on "getting sick" from Mexican food, a week before you might say, "I love Mexican food, but it always does a number on my stomach." You don't have to actually go out to eat, but if you tell your classmates, coworkers, or boss that you're going to eat somewhere likely to cause food poisoning, that'll make it more believable when it happens. Certain foods, like Mexican, Indian, and Chinese, have a reputation for causing stomach issues. You might use one of these to make your condition credible. You should be careful when choosing a restaurant if you do not intend to dine there. If someone you know is at the restaurant at the same time you say you were, this could hurt your story. A safer option might be to say you ate some bad food at a private dining event, like a family dinner or reunion. You can add credibility to this claim by complaining that one of your relatives is an awful cook. Some kinds of food are more likely to give you food poisoning than others. The most common of these are poultry, meat, fish, and eggs. Food made with raw eggs, like a homemade cake or brownies, are also likely causes. When calling in sick, you might say that you ate one of these. To make your story more convincing, you might say something like, "I had some fish last night and I think it gave me food poisoning. The flavor seemed off, and I only ate half of it, but my stomach's killing me now!" Avoid being overly dramatic when describing the food you've eaten. If you talk about the food as though it was rotten, it may come across as suspicious. It may help you keep your story straight if you choose a specific dish that made you sick. For example, you could choose dumplings or a pork burrito as the culprit that caused your food poisoning. By telling your friends and family you're not feeling well in a Facebook post or Tweet, it's more likely people will believe you've got food poisoning. For example, you might say something like, "I'm going to be on the down-low for a day or two. Got food poisoning last night." You might also broadcast your illness by calling a classmate or coworker you are close with, informing them you have food poisoning, and asking if they are willing to fill you in on what's happened when you get back. If you call in sick with food poisoning and someone sees you out and about, it could cause trouble for you. You'll have a much smaller chance of being found out if you relax at home instead. Restock your supplies, like food and drink, the day before you are sick so you don't run the risk of bumping into someone who thinks you're sick. You could plan a day-long movie marathon for your "sick" day, catch up on chores around the house, read a book, or call and catch up with old friends and family. Be careful with your social media posts when you're pretending to be ill. If you post something on Facebook or Twitter that makes it sound like you're well, your story might not hold up.
A: Talk about stomach issues. Invent a dicey dining situation. Use a likely food as the scape goat. Broadcast your illness. Plan at home activities.

Article: When you're loading creatine, 5 grams is the recommended dosage to start with; unless a doctor has recommended otherwise, 5 grams is a safe bet. Use the plastic measuring cup that came with the powder to measure it out. If your can of powder didn't come with a measuring tool, measure one heaping teaspoon, which is roughly equivalent to 5 grams. Pour the powder directly into the water and use a spoon to quickly stir it. If you're using a bottle with a cap, you can close the cap and shake it. If you don't have a container that is exactly quart-sized, measure four cups of water into a large container and mix in the powder. You may find it convenient to buy a quart-sized water bottle with a lid, which you can carry with you for times when you want to take a dose of creatine outside the house. You can also mix creatine with juice or an electrolyte-containing energy drink. As mentioned above, creatine beings to degrade when it is mixed with water, so you must consume it right away to get the maximum benefit from the supplement. Chase the creatine with more water. It's important to stay well hydrated while you take creatine, so follow it up with another cup or two. Eat and drink as normal. There are no dietary contraindications for creatine, so you may eat a normal meal before or after consuming it. When you're loading creatine, you need a total of 20 grams a day for the first five days. Space out the doses so you have one at breakfast, one at lunch, one at dinner and one before bed. After the initial 5-day load, taper off to a comfortable maintenance routine. You can safely take up to 4 doses a day, but taking 2 or 3 has the same effect once you're in maintenance mode. Since creatine isn't cheap, you might want to cut back the dosage.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Measure out 5 grams of creatine powder. Mix the powder with one quart of water. Drink the creatine immediately. Take 4 doses a day for the first 5 days. Taper off to 2 or 3 doses a day.
