Eh math was my strong suit along with science. The coefficient trick was actually something my mother taught me(Chem Teacher). Given they have to work with huge numbers or incredibly SMALL numbers meant that having to do calculations and without a calculator(at times) meant knowing how to convert into something you could work with.

So when you got Avagadro's number of atoms being converted into moles before being converted into grams, it's nice to know your powers of Exponents or specifically base 10.

Granted when you haven't worked with it in 25+ years.. ugh

Me too.
My math teacher this year is nice but I do not understand the homework… I spent a while just trying to figure out what i was supposed to do, and then my computer was acting up…
Yeah today was a bad day in the homework department. I spent an hour on it, not because it was hard, but because of the &%$! computer. And the weird instructions.

OK. So, when you have fractions that are large (example: 50/100), you're supposed to simplify them until they're the smallest you can make them (for 50/100, you can divide both by 50 so it becomes 1/2). Basically, divide them by the biggest number that lets them stay whole (not decimal) numbers.

Other example: 2100/3000, remove the shared zeroes due to how division works, 21/30, divide both by 3 (the largest number that can be multiplied into both without decimals involved), and it's actually just 7/10. There's nothing you can divide both 7 and 10 with, so it can't get any simpler, and you stop there.

You could also do long division to turn it into a normal number (no simplification needed), as fractions and division are the same thing, but I'm going to be honest here; I never learnt it properly and I'm still scared of it.
