Problem: Article: To rewrite a whole number as a fraction, simply place the whole number over 1. This will make an improper fraction. For example, if you have 5 x 8/10, put the 5 over 1. You should now have 5/1 x 8/10. Remember that the numerators are the numbers above the lines. Write the result and place a line below it. In the example, 5/1 x 8/10, multiply 5 by 8 to get 40. Now you can multiply the numbers below the lines to get your denominator. You should now have an answer to your equation that's in fraction form. For example, if you're multiplying 5/1 x 8/10, multiply 1 by 10 to get 10. Place this below the line to get an answer of 40/10. Because your answer will probably be an improper fraction, simplify the answer to its lowest terms. Divide the numerator by the denominator to get a simplified result. To reduce 40/10, divide 40 by 10 to get 4 as your new answer. In many cases, you'll get a mixed number since the answer will have a remainder.
Summary: Rewrite the whole number as a fraction. Multiply the numerators of the two fractions. Multiply the denominators of the two fractions. Reduce the answer if possible.

Problem: Article: Once your plants turn yellow or start to die off, your potatoes are ready to harvest. Harvest small new potatoes as soon as the plant turns yellow or dies. For more mature and larger potatoes, wait 1-2 weeks before harvesting. Gently dip into the soil with a small gardening tool or your hands, and pull the entire plant out of the container. Pull off each potato with your hands and brush the soil off of each one. Be careful to not cut or bruise the potatoes at this point, as the skin will be tender and easy to tear. Place your potatoes in a sunny spot and allow them to dry out. Then, scrub them with a vegetable brush under running water to remove the soil and clean them off. Store your potatoes somewhere dark and cool, between 4555F (713C), to avoid deterioration. Keeping potatoes for at least 2 weeks in this state will help them "cure," which hardens the skin and helps them to last longer. Potatoes will last about 5 months in a dark, cool place. If you don't have a root cellar, you can store them in the vegetable bin of your refrigerator. The cold temperature of the fridge will convert the starch in potatoes to sugar, so be sure to use them within 1 week.
Summary: Harvest when the leaves of the plant turn yellow for small new potatoes. Pull the plant from the container and pick off each potato. Let your potatoes dry for 2-3 hours, then rinse them off. Store your harvested potatoes in a cool, dark place for up to 5 months.

Problem: Article: You can find a number of waterless cleaners on the market. These cleaners are relatively effective on wheels, and they can make it fast and easy to detail your black rims. Also, you'll need several microfiber cloths throughout the process. Look for one that says "waterless" on the bottle, such as Chemical Guys Waterless Car Wash and Wax. Consider getting black, edgeless microfiber cloths. Because they are edgeless, they are less likely to scratch your rims. Waterless cleaners can be used on any kind of rim. However, make sure it is safe for the type of finish you have, which is most likely a painted aluminum alloy. You don't want to use anything harder than you'd use on your car's finish. The rim needs to be covered in the cleaner as you start cleaning it. Spray it down well. It doesn't need to be dripping off, but the whole surface of the rim needs to have the cleaner on it so it can start breaking down the gunk. Using the microfiber cloth, rub the rim down. Make sure to get in all the nooks and crannies to get all the dirt out. Rub both the spokes and the inside edges of the wheels, as it can all get dirty from road debris and brake dust.
Summary: Find a waterless cleaner. Spray the rim thoroughly. Rub it down.

Problem: Article: When employees feel like their managers care, they're often more willing to work harder and share responsibility in meeting the company's goals. An easy way to make employees feel cared for is to be kind to your employees. Make sure your employees' needs are being met and let them know that their efforts have not gone unnoticed. Listen to your employees when they have grievances or complaints. Being heard and seeing positive changes can make workers feel more motivated to help the company. Show an interest in your employees' work-life balance. Don't ask intrusive questions, but be understanding when employees need time off for doctors' appointments, family events, and other personal matters. Treat your employees the way you would want to be treated. Be kind without being weak and always offer guidance and support. If you want to keep your employees motivated, you'll need to know what level they're currently working at and what level they need to be at. You can do this by setting realistic, obtainable goals and offering support along the way. Ask employees how productive and efficient they see themselves, and offer to let them have input into how productivity is assessed. Factor in considerations like how much of a job is repetitive versus original/creative work. Include (but don't solely rely on) objective factors like the number of sales calls made, reports filed, or functions coded. Balance this with subjective factors like management ratings and employee satisfaction. Remember that employees are still part of a team. If one employee isn't performing up to par, look at how his or her coworkers are managing their end of the work to ensure that that employee isn't left hanging with extra projects. Good work should not go unrecognized. Every employee who meets his or her productivity goals should be rewarded in some way, as your company would not be able to function properly without those employees. Thank employees for their hard work and let them know that you value and appreciate their efforts. Personal incentives can do wonders to motivate employees. Consider offering small bonuses/commissions to highly-productive employees. Throw a pizza party or sundae buffet when employees meet their goals for the month. Hard-working employees need some down time to maintain productivity. Working constantly without interruption is draining and may lead to performance problems down the line. You can avoid this problem by allowing your employees to balance work time and down time. Allow for short breaks throughout the day, whether that means water cooler talk, a coffee break, or a short break to step outside for some fresh air. Breaks help improve productivity and boost morale. Make sure your employees have vacation options. A short vacation can do wonders for an employee's mindset and motivation. Reducing internet restrictions on social media and other websites can give your employees a much-needed break during the day. However, some managers feel that social media is too big of a distraction in the workplace and should be banned.
Summary:
Show an interest in your employees' wellbeing. Set goals for and measure employee productivity. Implement positive reinforcement for good work. Give your employees some down time.
