For example, to solve for 3/4 * 1/2, 3/4 would be entered as 3 divided by 4, giving you the answer of 0.75. Enter the next fraction in the equation, 1/2, as 1 divided by 2 to get the answer of 0.5. Some calculators have functions that allow you to enter the fraction as a fraction so that you don't have to deal with decimals at all. Check out your calculator's instruction manual to see if that's an option that is available to you. It's really easy to use mixed numbers in your calculator, even if your calculator doesn't have a fraction function. Simply follow the step to turn the fraction into a decimal and then place the whole number in front of the decimal point to continue with your equation. For example, to turn the mixed number 3 and 3/4 into a decimal, all you have to do is divide 3 by 4 on your calculator, getting 0.75. Then, place the 3 in front of the decimal point to get 3.75. For the example of 3/4 * 1/2, punch 0.75 * 0.5 into your calculator. You get the decimal 0.375 as the answer. It can really help to write down your answers on a piece of paper as you work, just in case you forget something or accidentally clear away your calculator screen. If your calculator has parentheses, you could also put the equation into the calculator all at once by typing: (3/4) * (1/2). The "/" stands for the division button. On a piece of paper, write the decimal over the denominator of 1, so for the example of 3/4 * 1/2, you would write 0.375/1 on a piece of paper. Multiply the numerator and denominator by however many places there are after the decimal point. 0.375 has 3 digits after the decimal point, so multiply the decimal and the denominator of 1 by 1000 (use your calculator to help if needed). You end up with 375/1000. If your calculator has the fraction function, you can usually convert the decimal to a fraction just using your calculator. All that's left once you've turned the decimal into a fraction is to simplify your answer. For big numbers, you might have to simplify more than once to get the smallest possible fraction. For 375/1000, the number 5 goes into both 375 and 1000, simplifying the fraction to 75/200. That fraction can simplify again by the number 5, which gives you 15/40. Do it one more time to get the final answer of 3/8. It's totally okay if it takes you a few steps to simplify a fraction. Take your time, don't rush your work, and you will get there in the end!

Make a fraction into a decimal to solve equations on the calculator. Use mixed numbers by putting the whole number in front of the decimal. Multiply the decimals on the calculator. Turn decimals back into fractions. Simplify your fraction to get the final answer.
Article: Heat is the main culprit of dry, frizzy hair, and hairdryers can wreak havoc on your beautiful curls. Fortunately, because your hair is so short, it should not take very long for your curls to air-dry. If your hair is soaking wet, pat it dry with a microfiber towel or an old T-shirt. Avoid rubbing your hair with a towel, since this can create frizz. If you must blow dry your hair, use a diffuser to prevent voluminous frizz. Avoid detangling your hair with a regular hair brush or fine-toothed comb since they can create frizz. Instead, work a wide-toothed comb through your hair. Start by combing out the ends and gradually work your way to the roots to prevent additional tangles. In a pinch, you can also detangle your hair by running your fingers through your curls. How much styling mousse you use depends on how short your hair is. Start with a dime-sized amount, then add more as needed. Work the mousse into your hair evenly from root to tip. You can also experiment with curling gels, creams, and setting lotions. You can deep-condition your curls with keratin-based treatments or masks. Apply the conditioner to your hair, give it time to penetrate the hair shaft, then rinse it out according to the instructions on the label. Hydration helps your curls look silky and defined. You can buy keratin-based treatments in salons and beauty supply stores.

Let your hair air-dry, if possible, to prevent frizz. Detangle damp hair with a wide-toothed comb. Apply styling mousse while your hair is damp to define your curls. Deep-condition your hair every 1-2 weeks to combat dryness and frizz.
