Introduction to this week's module:

Module 06 builds on Module 05, mostly with mixed numbers and improper fractions.  Module 06, however, also brings in material from another chapter for dealing with conversions between fractions and decimals.  Remember to keep order of operations rules in mind as well when working with fractions.  An outline for coursework for this module appears below.  Please note that the only required homework submission for Module 06 is listed below, but Test 03 will follow the conclusion of Module 06.  You are also encouraged to do practice problems in the readings.  The practice problems include solutions and explanations in the readings.
