INPUT ARTICLE: Article: For your furry cat ears, you need two clips, furry felt, cardboard, glue (a hot glue gun or fabric glue works best), a ruler, and scissors. Bobby pins are too skinny to work with, make sure to get some clips that are at least half an inch wide. You want to use flat clips, French clips, or an alligator clips. Once the glue dries, put your hair in pigtails. Place the clips above the elastics in a spot comfortable for your cat ears.

SUMMARY: Gather your materials. Let the glue dry and wear your ears.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: 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.

SUMMARY: Note that the numerator is on the top and the denominator is on the bottom. Turn a whole number into a fraction by putting it over 1. Reduce fractions if you need to simplify them. Learn to turn mixed numbers into improper fractions. Figure out how to convert improper fractions into mixed numbers.
