Q: Whether you guys are close friends or just in the same class, you should give him space after you reject him. You may try to be friends as usual or to ask him for the homework assignment, but he may not be ready to talk to you just yet. So give him some breathing room until he's ready to talk to you as friends. Don't be hurt if this takes him longer than you think. The next time you hang out, don't look at him like he's a wounded puppy or make an extra effort to ignore him. Just be yourself, act natural, and be kind if he comes up to talk to you. If he doesn't talk to you, you don't have to take the initiative, because he's probably just not ready to really face you. The important thing is that you act like it's no big deal, so he knows that the fact that he got rejected wasn't a big issue and that you can be friends and talk to each other. Spare the guy the embarrassment of having your fifty closest friends know what happened. If you tell all of your friends that you rejected him, then they may start acting weird around him too, and he'll know. If he's a nice guy, then he doesn't deserve to be treated this way when he made an honest effort to get closer to you. Try to keep what happened to yourself; after all, if a guy rejected you, you wouldn't want him to tell all of his friends, would you? If you are talking again, don't be mean or rude to him, unless he deserves it. If he's trying to just be friends or to be nice to you, then the least you can do is smile and return his friendliness. This doesn't mean you have to hang out with him or spend a lot of time with him, but if you do cross paths, just treat him with human decency. Just don't flirt, touch him, or be so nice that he may be getting mixed singles or think he has another shot. Have empathy for him above everything else. He must be hurting because you rejected him, and you have to remember that, even if you don't want to date him.
A: Give him space. Don't act weird the next time you see him. Don't tell everyone you know what happened. Treat him kindly.

Article: Dogs of all ages do not really need to be bathed unless they have a skin condition or if they are very dirty. If your puppy is very dirty or smelly you can bathe it occasionally.  Try not to bathe a puppy more than once a month or so. Most dogs only need to be bathed a couple times a year. Do not put puppies into a bathtub, sink, or tub full of water. It is hard for them to regulate their body temperature and they can become too cold when immersed in water. Brush your puppy to remove tangles or mats before you bathe it if it has a long or fluffy coat. It is good to get longer coated and fluffy dogs used to being brushed while they are young. Choose a soft clean cloth and get it wet in water that is warm but not very hot. Wipe the puppy off with the cloth.  Start at the head and wipe gently back towards the tail. Make sure to wipe the underside too. Use shampoo made for puppies or babies. Puppy skin can be sensitive even as they start to grow.  Just use a small amount of shampoo. Dry shampoos can be used on older puppies that don't like water. These are rubbed onto the coat without water.  Make sure not to get the suds in the puppy's eyes. Lather the shampoo like you would on your own hair. Wipe the suds away with the cloth, then rinse it in warm water and wipe again. Repeat until the puppy is clean. Dry the puppy right away with a clean dry towel. It is important to get the puppy dry so it does not get too cold. Puppies need a place to stay warm since it is hard for them to regulate their own temperature. Choose an area that is not drafty. Get your puppy used to bathing and make them associate a bath with nice things like toys and treats. Let your puppy have a nice treat after its bath.

Problem: Article: This resume should reflect your education as well as your experience in sales and customer service. Make sure you have people who are familiar with your work that can be references. If you’ve just graduated from high school and have no experience yet, think about how you can present the kinds of activities you’ve done in school as potential parallels to your proposed work in a jewelry store.  If you sold concessions at school events, that’s retail experience. If you were the treasurer for a club or activity group, you successfully budgeted and kept track of the group’s money -- great experience for working in a store. If you were part of a team or on the staff of a student publication, you might have helped order supplies. This could translate into experience ordering for the store. In the letter, explain why you want to work in jewelry and the steps you have taken to make yourself an attractive candidate. Explain your passion for jewelry, retail work, and any other relevant skills you may have for the position. It will depend on where you live, but there are typically job-focused sites like Indeed or Monster or others like craigslist that have multiple kinds of postings. Ask around the people with whom you have done informational interviews where their business typically posts openings. Watch for any open jobs. Even if you think you want to work in a small local business rather than a chain (or vice versa) it’s always good to apply to an array of positions. You never know what the experience of working at that particular job will be. Few people get the first job they apply for. Keep honing your retail and customer service skills as you wait for a jewelry store job. Talk to the people there and demonstrate your interest. Be upfront about your interest in a position.
Summary: Put together a professional resume. Develop a professional job letter. Start looking at job sites. Apply widely. Keep trying. Stop by the stores where you would like to work.

Q: Two fractions that are different but equivalent have, by definition, numerators and denominators that are multiples of each other. In other words, multiplying the numerator and denominator of a fraction by the same number will produce an equivalent fraction. Though the numbers in the new fraction will be different, the fractions will have the same value.  For instance, if we take the fraction 4/8 and multiply both the numerator and denominator by 2, we get (4×2)/(8×2) = 8/16. These two fractions are equivalent. (4×2)/(8×2) is essentially the same as 4/8 × 2/2 Remember that when multiplying two fractions, we multiply across, meaning numerator to numerator and denominator to denominator. Notice that 2/2 equals 1 when you carry out the division. Thus, it's easy to see why 4/8 and 8/16 are equivalent since multiplying 4/8 × (2/2) = 4/8 still. The same way it’s fair to say that 4/8 = 8/16. Any given fraction has an infinite number of equivalent fractions. You can multiply the numerator and denominator by any whole number, no matter how large or small to obtain an equivalent fraction. Like multiplication, division can also be used to find a new fraction that's equivalent to your starting fraction. Simply divide the numerator and the denominator of a fraction by the same number to obtain an equivalent fraction. There is one caveat to this process--the resulting fraction must have whole numbers in both the numerator and denominator to be valid. For instance, let's look at 4/8 again. If, instead of multiplying, we divide both the numerator and denominator by 2, we get (4 ÷ 2)/(8 ÷ 2) = 2/4. 2 and 4 are both whole numbers, so this equivalent fraction is valid.
A:
Multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number. Divide the numerator and denominator by the same number.
