Problem: Article: One of the best ways to learn about Ancient Rome is to visit your local library or bookstore to find books on the subject. At a library or bookstore, you'll be able to browse through a wide variety of books on a number of subjects related to Roman history and life. Finding books to read on Ancient Rome is perhaps the best way to learn about the subject. Consider classics like Edward Gibbon's History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire (1776). Look at books on different aspects of Roman history and society. Consider religion, government, language, military history, and more. Think about eBooks or other books online. There are a wide variety of websites that offer free digital copies of classic works on a variety of subjects. Another great way to learn about Ancient Rome is to enroll in formal education courses that focus on the subject. By enrolling in a class at your local college or taking a class online, you'll have the benefit of learning about Ancient Rome from experts who have dedicated a large part of their lives to studying the subject. Look into courses at your local community college or at a university. The types of courses you might investigate include introductory classes to world civilization, higher level courses specifically on Ancient Rome, or graduate courses that focus on specific parts of Roman life and/or history. Remember that you don't need to pursue a degree to attend or audit a course. You might even be able to attend lectures for free talk to the professor who teaches the course. Consider open courses through various universities. Yale University has a number of courses posted online that include syllabi, video-recorded lectures and more. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology also has a similar program. You can also learn about Ancient Rome through film. Film is a great medium to watch for learning and for entertainment. As a result, film is a great way to soak in information in a very low stress way. Consider documentaries like the BBC's The Story of Ancient Rome. Consider historical fiction movies like Gladiator. Consider television shows like HBO's Rome. When watching historical fiction in film or on TV, make sure to choose historically accurate works. Read reviews on popular review sites for an idea of the accuracy of any given film or TV show. The internet is full of great online resources that will help you learn about Ancient Rome. Many websites have full pages, sections, or other offerings dedicated to Roman history. Consider: Online encyclopedias. Online databases like JSTOR. Websites specifically dedicated to the history of Ancient Rome. One great way to learn about Ancient Rome is to travel to Italy. As the center of the Roman Republic and later the Roman Empire, Italy contains a vast number of ruins and other cultural resources. Make sure to tour Rome to see major Roman architectural wonders like the Coliseum. Visit museums that showcase Roman history and art. Think about visiting the Museum of Roman Civilization (in Rome). Consider visiting places like Pompeii to get a better idea of what Roman towns looked like.
Summary: Find books. Enroll in courses. Watch videos. Look for online resources. Think about traveling to Italy.

This tab is at the top of the window. Doing so opens the Slide Show toolbar. It's in the far-left corner of the toolbar. Your PowerPoint presentation will open in slide show view. You can use the left and right arrow keys to move back and forward through the presentation. If you need to exit the presentation, press Esc. When you're done scrolling through the presentation, add any details that you forgot, delete any content that you want to remove, and so on. This will save your presentation as a file which can be opened on any Windows or Mac computer that has PowerPoint installed: Windows - Click File, click Save, double-click This PC, select a save location, enter a name for your presentation, and click Save. Mac - Click File, click Save As..., enter the presentation's name in the "Save As" field, select a save location by clicking the "Where" box and clicking a folder, and click Save.
Summary: Review your PowerPoint. Click the Slide Show tab. Click From Beginning. Page through the slide show. Make any necessary changes before proceeding. Save your PowerPoint.

Problem: Article: Fill a medium-sized pot 2/3 full of water, place on high heat and bring to a boil. Add 1 tsp. (5 g) of salt, squeeze in 2 lime wedges and mix loosely. Serve at room temperature.
Summary: Peal and chop the tomatoes. Core the tomatoes and cut a small "X" on each using a pairing knife. Drop the tomatoes in the boiling water and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the pot and place it in the sink under cold, running water until the tomatoes have cooled completely. Remove the tomatoes and, using a pairing knife, peel the tomatoes, starting from the corner on the bottom of the tomato where you made the "X" cut. Cut the tomatoes in rough chunks about the size of a thumbnail. Place the peeled, and chopped tomatoes, along with the remaining cilantro, onions and chilies into a medium-sized mixing bowl.

Problem: Article: The problem 2 1/2 is asking you: "How many halves are in 2?" The answer is 4, because each unit (1) is made up of two halves, and there are 2 units total: 2 halves/1 unit * 2 units = 4 halves. Try thinking about this same equation in terms of cups of water: How many half cups of water are in 2 cups of water? You could pour 2 half cups of water into each cup of water which means you are basically adding them, and you have two cups: 2 halves/1 cup * 2 cups = 4 halves. All of this means that when the fraction you are dividing by is between 0 and 1, the answer will always be larger than the original number! This is true whether you are dividing whole numbers or fractions by a fraction. Therefore, dividing by a fraction can be accomplished by multiplying by its reciprocal. The reciprocal of a fraction (also called its "multiplicative inverse") is just the fraction turned upside down, so that the numerator and denominator have switched places. In a moment, we are going to divide fractions by fractions by finding the reciprocal of the second fraction and multiplying them together, but let's look at some reciprocals first: The reciprocal of 3/4 is 4/3. The reciprocal of 7/5 is 5/7. The reciprocal of 1/2 is 2/1, or 2. In order, the steps are: Leave the first fraction in the equation alone. Turn the division sign into a multiplication sign. Flip the second fraction over (find its reciprocal). Multiply the numerators (top numbers) of the two fractions together. This result will be the numerator (top portion) of your answer. Multiply the denominators (bottom numbers) of the two fractions together. The result will be the denominator of your answer. Simplify your fraction by reducing it to the simplest terms. We will begin by leaving the first fraction alone, and changing the division sign to a multiplication sign: 1/3 2/5 = becomes: 1/3 * __ = Now we flip the second fraction (2/5) over to find its reciprocal, 5/2: 1/3 * 5/2 = Now multiply the numerators (top numbers) of the two fractions, 1*5 = 5. 1/3 * 5/2 = 5/ Now multiply the denominators (bottom numbers) of the two fractions, 3*2 = 6. We now have: 1/3 * 5/2 = 5/6 This particular fraction cannot be simplified further, so we have our answer. "Dividing fractions, as easy as pie, Flip the second fraction, then multiply. And don't forget to simplify, Before it's time to say goodbye." Another helpful saying that tells you what to do with each part of the equation is: "Leave Me (the first fraction), Change Me (the division symbol), Turn Me Over (the second fraction)."
Summary:
Think about what dividing by a fraction means. Understand that dividing is the opposite of multiplying. Memorize the following steps for dividing a fraction by a fraction. Work through these steps on the example 1/3 2/5. Try remembering the following rhyme to help you remember:
