Looking at this I realized that I forgot how to carry over numbers when subtracting... I can do calculus but I wouldn't know how to complete a 2nd grade math problem. lolol

i like this video but it sort of gets confusing when it gets to rounding

@KhanAcademy - You could have just stated that 19/21 > 1/2 because 19 > 21/2. If that makes sense ofcourse..
