Fractions refer to parts of a whole, and the top number in a fraction is called the numerator. This tells you how many parts of the whole you're working with. The bottom number in a fraction is referred to as the denominator and tells you how many parts make up a whole. For instance, in 3/5, 3 is the numerator so there are 3 parts and 5 is the denominator so there are 5 total parts. In 7/8, 7 is the numerator and 8 is the denominator. If you have a whole number and need to convert it to a fraction, you can use the whole number as the numerator. Always use 1 as the denominator since every undivided whole has a single part. If you need to turn 7 into a fraction, for instance, write it as 7/1. Start by finding the greatest common factor (GCF) of the numerator and denominator. The GCF is the largest number that both the numerator and denominator can be divided by. Then, just divide both the numerator and the denominator by the greatest common factor to reduce the fraction. For example, if you have the fraction 15/45, the greatest common factor is 15, since both 15 and 45 can be divided by 15. Divide 15 by 15, which is 1, so that's your new numerator. Divide 45 by 15, which is 3, so that's your new denominator. This means that 15/45 can be reduced to 1/3. A mixed number has both a whole number and a fraction. To solve certain fraction questions more easily, you might need to turn the mixed number into an improper fraction (meaning the number on top is larger than the number on the bottom). You can do this by multiplying the whole number by the denominator and adding this number to the numerator. Put the new numerator over the denominator. Say you have the mixed number 1 2/3. Stary by multiplying 3 by 1, which is 3. Add 3 to 2, the existing numerator. The new numerator is 5, so the mixed fraction is 5/3. Sometimes, you might have the opposite problem and need to make an improper fraction a mixed number. Start by figuring out how many times the numerator can go into the denominator using division. This becomes your whole number. Find the remainder by multplying the whole number by the divisor (the number you're dividing by) and subtracting the result from the dividend (the number you're dividing up). Put the remainder over the original denominator. Say that you have the improper fraction 17/4. Set up the problem as 17 4. The number 4 goes into 17 a total of 4 times, so the whole number is 4. Then, multiply 4 by 4, which is equal to 16. Subtract 16 from 17, which is equal to 1, so that's the remainder. This means that 17/4 is the same as 4 1/4.

This day will be similar to the day prior to the cleanse - you will eat only salads and fruits. Stick with small portions so as not to overwhelm your stomach and digestive system. After the easing-in period, you can gradually return to your regular diet by introducing foods such as eggs and dairy products, wholegrain rice and cereals, and lean meats. You should still try to refrain from eating processed foods, to avoid undoing the good work you did during your cleanse. Eating pizza or other processed foods immediately after finishing your cleanse is not a good idea, and may even leave you feeling ill. Doing a juice cleanse once a week will help you to maintain the level of detoxification you reached while doing your fast. It is actually quite simple to do as you can divide the 24 hours over a two day period. Start by having an early dinner one evening, then eat nothing for the rest of the night. Sleep through 8 of the 24 hours, then have a juice for breakfast and lunch that day. You can then eat a solid meal for dinner that night. Once you have done a three day fast, you can move on to doing longer cleanses periodically, progressing towards a 7 day or even 14 day juice fast, if desired. Although this may seem daunting, many seasoned fasters claim that the fasting actually becomes easier the longer you go without solid food. Your body trains itself not to feel hunger, as it recognizes that it is getting all the nutrition it needs from the juice. Be warned, however. With longer fasts, your body will start eliminating toxins through the skin and lungs and you may notice a funny or unpleasant smell emanating from your body. With longer fasts, you may want to include protein and iron supplements in your juices, to give you more energy and prevent yourself from becoming anemic. These supplements can be found at health food stores.

before handling your snake. If you have a scent on your hands, the snake may mistake it for food. They could nip or bite. Snakes rely heavily on their sense of smell. Washing your hands also reduces the risk of harmful bacteria or parasites being transferred to your snake. Don't talk to your snake to announce your presence as snakes can't hear human speech. Whenever you are around your snake, you want to avoid fast movements. Move slowly when you are around your snake's cage, and avoid surprising your snake from a strange angle. Try to approach your snake from the side rather than from above. If your snake is feeling fearful or aggressive, it may hiss. If you hear your snake hissing, it is not a good time to handle them. If you force yourself on the snake at this time, they may attack you. You want to handle your snake when it is feeling tired but remains awake. You should avoid handling your snake after it has eaten. Similarly, don't hold your snake when it is about to shed.

Washing your hair too soon will shorten the life of your keratin treatment. If you can wait a week before getting your hair wet, even better! Try using a dry shampoo if the lack of lathering your locks is bothering you. Avoid using any ponytail holders such as elastics or even hair clips, if possible. Try a fabric bandanna if you want to keep your hair out of your face. Using hair ties or clips may cause a crease in your hair. However, this may not be the case if you wear a hair tie loosely. Your keratin treatment may last longer if you avoid styling or drying your hair with heat. Wash your hair sparingly as needed with shampoo only (skip conditioner). Use a sulfate-free shampoo.
