Q: Let's say you're working with the following problem: 5 - 3/4. Write it down. You'll want to convert the number 5 into a fraction with the denominator of 4 in order to subtract the two numbers. So, you can first think of 5 as a fraction that is really 5/1. Then, you can multiply both the top and bottom of the new fraction by 4 in order to create two fractions with the same denominator. So, 5/1 x 4/4 = 20/4. This fraction is really equal to 5, but it allows you to subtract two fractions. The new problem can be written like this: 20/4 - 3/4. Now, you can simply subtract 3 from 20 to get the final answer. 20 - 3 = 17, so 17 is your new numerator. You can keep the denominator as it is. Your final answer is 17/4. If you'd like to state it as a mixed number, simply divide 17 by 4 to get 4, with 1 left over as the remainder. This will make your final answer 17/4 equal to 4 1/4.
A: Write down the problem. Turn the whole number into a fraction with the same denominator as the fraction. Rewrite the problem. Subtract the numerators of the fractions while keeping the denominator the same. Write your final answer.

Q: If you've been exhausted or not sleeping, your day off should be spent in bed, resting your body and brain. You don't need to sleep the whole time if you don't want to, but you should definitely allow yourself to rest a few more hours than usual. Don't forget to disconnect the alarm. Once you're awake, take a long and warm bath to relax your muscles. If doing chores and housework will make you feel a little saner on your day off, go for it. A mental health day doesn't mean that you have to just sit around relaxing. In some cases, restoring order to your surroundings will bring you to a place of peace. You've been working so much that you have eaten your sandwiches in front of your computer for the last four months. It's time to go to a restaurant and enjoy a lazy lunch with a friend. Go for a healthy meal and don't eat too much if you don't want to feel sleepy during the whole afternoon. Office work is stressful for the body and the spirit. There are several activities which will allow your muscles to stretch and your mind to relax. Here are a few suggestions: There's nothing like sport to make you spend some energy and stretch in a fun way. Try to pick a sport you like and avoid injuries! Go for a massage to feel truly relaxed and pampered. Aromatherapy is a good alternative. It is relatively cheap and can make you feel very good. If work has taken you away from the ones you love, spend the day making time to be with those important folks. For example if you've been working endless hours, seven days a week and haven't had a chance to spend time with your daughter, plan an entire day around what she wants to do. You can also combine a few nice activities at the same time. Why not having a go at a good restaurant with your friends before heading for a massage with your family? If you're a workaholic, you will probably feel uncomfortable or guilty during your day off. Brush this feeling aside. Everybody deserves a day off once in a while and should be allowed to relax. Remember that you need to care for yourself in order to continue being a productive worker and present parent/ family member. Things at the office will not fall apart if you're gone for one day. Getting a break can help you refuel and regain creativity to approach new problems.
A: Catch up on sleep. Go for a nice meal. Relax your body. Reconnect with friends and family. Avoid any guilt.

Q: to 350F (176C). If you don't have an oven, it is possible to toast the hazelnuts on a stovetop. Heat a large frying pan on medium-high heat. Add the nuts (don't use any oil or spray, as the nuts are naturally oily) and stir constantly with a spatula until golden brown. The hazelnuts should fit on the sheet in a single layer--they should not overlap or sit on top of each other or they may bake unevenly or steam instead of toast. You can also line the baking pan with a silicone sheet, which is reusable and easy to clean. Use a rimmed baking sheet so the hazelnuts don't roll off as you put them in the oven. Remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. If you don't have the time or means to toast the hazelnuts, you can purchase dry roasted, unsalted hazelnuts at some grocery stores and use them instead.
A: Preheat the oven Spread 1 cup hazelnuts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Toast the hazelnuts in the oven for 10-12 minutes.The skins should be browned and slightly blistered when done.

Q: There's no reason you have to jump right into a huge risk right away! Starting with smaller risks will help improve your tolerance for risk and give you the confidence you need to take more of them. You can start by just saying yes to all opportunities that come your way, instead of trying to make new opportunities for yourself right away. For example, if someone asks you if you'd like to work on a new project at work, accept it. If someone invites you to try a new sport with them, give it a try even if it's not something you'd ordinarily do. Another way to start small is to just take a single step towards the risk you want to take. For example, if you want to try scuba diving but are too afraid to try, take a small step in the right direction by snorkeling in a pool. Everyone has one colossal fear that holds them back in life, whether it's fear of public speaking or fear of heights. Whatever your fear is, go out of your way to face it head-on. People have lots of fears, and often the best way to get over them is to expose yourself to them. For example, if you are afraid of heights, try walking on a high bridge. Make sure you stick to something safe. If something bad happens, your fear may get worse. If the thought of facing your biggest fear is too overwhelming, pick a part of it you will tackle. For example, you could drive near a tall bridge and just look at it rather than crossing, or you could take a few steps onto it with the help of a friend. You don't need to confront your fears alone for it to "count." Taking some risks may make your life happier and more fulfilling, but other risks may not have the same effect. Experiment with risk-taking in small steps to find out what level of risk enhances your life. There's no reason to challenge your own comfort with risks that won't do you any good. Remember that everyone is different. Some people thrive under constant pressure, while others are happier with a more steady routine. You will know when you have found the right balance for you when you feel fulfilled and have no regrets about the risks you didn't take. Just because you've decided to take a risk does not mean that you can't change your mind. Always go with your gut and don't be afraid to change your plan along the way. There's a difference between changing your mind and giving up. Try not to back out because you are too afraid to go through with taking the risk. Instead, back out if you realize that the risk is not worth taking or if an alternative presents itself that will provide the same or better benefits.
A:
Start small. Try to tackle your biggest fear. Find your happy place. Know that you can always back out.
