Convert Mixed Number To Improper Fraction

Convert Mixed Number To Improper Fraction Converting mixed number to improper fraction deals with fractions. Fractions are used to represent a part of the whole. The whole may be a single object says a pizza or group of objects. There are various types of fractions. They are proper, improper and mixed fractions. A fraction which is greater than one is called an improper fraction. In an improper fraction the numerator is always greater than the denominator. For example 5/2, 11/4. A fraction which is a combination of a whole and a fraction is called mixed number. Here are some examples of mixed fraction 1 , 3 .. In mathematics improper fractions are better than mixed number because mixed number is a little bit confusing when we write them down in a formula. But in everyday use, mixed numbers are better to understand. Follow the few steps to convert a mixed number to an improper fraction 1. Multiply the fractions denominator by whole number part 2. Add it with the numerator 3. Then write the result we got to the top of the denominator. The explanation of the above can be clarified with the following examples:- Example 1: Convert mixed number 5 into an improper fraction. Solution: Follow the above 3 steps: First multiply fraction denominator by whole number part Here whole number part is 5 and fraction is So 2. 5 = 10 Then add it with the numerator 10 + 1 = 11 Write the result 11 on the top of denominator Improper fraction = 11/2 Example 2:Convert mixed number 6 into an improper fraction. Solution: Mixed number = 6 Follow the steps as explained Multiply the denominator with whole number part and add it with the numerator. So, 6. 4 = 24 24 + 3 = 27 Improper fraction = 27/4

Rock Guitar

Rock Guitar Rock Music’s Secret Ingredient: Rock Guitar ChaptersThe Roots of Rock MusicLegends of RockLearning to Play Rock GuitarMusic has been around for as long as humans have roamed the earth. Primitive instruments, mostly percussion and wind, have been around for just about as long.History traces precursors of the guitar to at least 4,000 years; bowl harps and tanburs were early stringed instruments that were built and played like a guitar. There were as yet no guitars, though, their development would come several millennia later.Today we have plenty of stringed instruments: the lute or oud is a fine example of such. However, those instruments miss the definition of the guitar: a long neck studded with frets, a flat soundboard and back, usually with sides curved in and ribs to create the cavity.Over time, the guitar became a dominant instrument on the musical landscape of Europe. These early models generally had very short necks â€" usually no more than eight frets; eventually the guitar neck was stretched to the 12 frets we know tod ay.Strangely enough, those early guitars were tuned the same way we tune guitars today: E-A-D-G-B-E.In those days, rock music was not even a glimmer on anyone’s musical horizon and nobody could have envisioned the role the guitar would play in establishing rock as a legitimate genre of music.Come with us now as we explore the rock guitar, its history and peculiarities. We’ll talk about rock guitarists of renown and mayhap even help you find guitar lessons so that you too may be a rock guitar player.

Such music could generally be heard in less-than-reputable clubs that catered to a diverse clientele and drew on B. B. King-type rhythm and blues music.Rock music also counts on influences from jazz music, folk music and classical music. Chuck Berry pioneered fingerstyle playing in rock music Source: Wikipedia Credit: Universal AttractionsIn the early days of rock music, the piano and/or saxophone were the lead instruments; in that sense, those early forays into rock music resembled Big Bands more than the intimate jazz combo.You can hear the dominance of those instruments on early rock songs such as Goree Carter’s Rock Awhile and Ike Turner’s Rocket 88.Of course, the guitar, a centuries-old instrument, was a part of early rock bands, they were just not the lead instrument.All of that changed in the mid-50s, when the electric guitar riffed its way into the music scene. From that point on, the guitar â€" specifically, the electric guitar became the lead instrument of the rock’n’roll genre.Soon, rock bands featured two guitarists: one on lead and the other playing rhythm.Much of America’s early rock was pioneered by Black artists and it wasn’t until Bill Haley and the Comets released Crazy Man, Crazy (1953) â€" featuring a significant guitar lick and an extended solo that rock and roll got any mainstream attention.Their release of Rock Around the Clock the following year officially established rock’n’roll as a mainstream form of music that appealed directly to teenagers.Soon, other great names of rock’n’roll followed: Elvis Presley, The Clovers, Big Joe Turner and The Drifters among them.What was happening to music in the UK while all of that music was being made in the US?Our fledgeling rock musicians were trying very hard to emulate the Americans without very much success… until a certain Fab Four took the world by storm. Classic rock has its roots in the jazz standards pioneered by Black musicians Image by Norbert Höldin from PixabayLegends of RockFor a long time, American rock and roll seemed content to follow its standard format â€" guitar, bass, drums and vocals. Song lyrics remained tame, revolving around romance and heartbreak, fun times, religion and even the war.Meanwhile, British rock bands were beginning to dominate the music scene on both sides of the ocean and in Europe.Admittedly, British rock groups were influenced by American music but, soon, they made their own indelible mark on the music scene. Surely you know who they are...The BeatlesFormed in Liverpool in 1960, The Beatles are often considered the most influential band of all time.The Fab Four were Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney, John Lennon and George Harrison. Initially, with their suits, ties and short hair, they were a rather tame bunch but, as their fame grew, they became the mop-tops that sent girls swooning all over the world. John Lennon, though the main songwriter, was the band’s rhythm guitarist and George Harrison played lead guitar while Sir Paul took on the bass guitar.Most critics contend that Paul McCartney had better guitar techniques; you can hear him play the guitar on most studio cuts and judge for yourself if that is so.The Rolling StonesJust as The Beatles were in Abbey Road Studio working on their first hit (Love Me Do, released October 1962), The Rolling Stones went on a tour of England to build their following.They didn’t have a lot of original music at that point; instead, they covered Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley tunes, among others. Still, they had what it took to put on a show; you might say they were the right band at the right time.Frontman Mick had everything needed to head up a rock music act: the voice, the look, the sass and guitar skills but it was Keith Richards, with his amazing riffs, that blew the guitar world away. Every aspiring guitarist wanted to be Keith â€" or, at l east, play as well as he did (and still does!).The Rolling Stones opened the door for other types of rock music to evolve: hard rock and heavy metal, psychedelic rock â€" Hendrix is the first name of this genre, and ultimately alternative rock.Other Great Rock GuitaristsChuck Berry â€" considered the father of rock’n’rollB.B. King: in spite of his blues roots, he was also a prolific rock guitaristEric Clapton is known as Slowhand because audiences would slow-clap while he changed broken guitar stringsJimmy PageStevie Ray VaughnDavid GilmoreMark KnopflerBrian MayCarlos SantanaPrinceNaturally, there are others. Won’t you tell us your favs in the comments below? The first wisdom guitar teachers would impart is how to take proper care of your instrument Image by Pexels from PixabayLearning to Play Rock GuitarIt’s quite possible that you’ve long harboured a desire to play the guitar; if so, we salute you.There are several ways to pick up on guitar playing and some are better than others. First, let’s find out: have you ever held a guitar? Done any strumming? Talked with other guitar players?If so, you already know that not every guitar is the same and that, most likely, you will learn how to play the classic guitar first and then progress to an electric guitar â€" the types of guitar featured in rock’n’roll music.Of course, you could still play an acoustic guitar while in a rock’n’roll band but it would be much more difficult to be heard on stage…No matter what, you must learn chords and chord progressions; that will likely be among the first lessons your guitar teacher will impart.You don’t yet have a guitar teacher?Sure, yo u could take guitar lessons online; there are plenty of YouTube channels that have sequential lessons set up for anyone who wants to learn the guitar on their own, with no instructor in the room.Those channels certainly have value; they can teach you new guitar licks and drill you on the power chords but they cannot give you any feedback or advice based on your playing.That means that, if you unwittingly pick up a bad habit, you have nobody to tell you that it will negatively impact your playing later down the road â€" or worse: impact your body/health.Yes, that really is a thing!If you don’t relish the idea of lugging your guitar to and from class or, for whatever reason, guitar classes are not for you, why not invite a Superprof guitar tutor to work with you at home?Superprof guitar tutors know all about best guitar practices for you to follow, including caring for your guitar and warming up before playing. And when it comes to playing guitar…Yes, you would still have to maste r the chords and playing arpeggios but you would also get substantial time for improvisation and, once you get good, maybe you will even get a jam session in.Private guitar lessons really allow you and your guitar instructor a lot of latitude.You may, for instance, tell your teacher that you don’t quite get the pentatonic scale; your teacher may then spend that hour’s lesson making sure you fully understand the purpose of said scale and how to play it.A final word about Superprof guitar tutors: if, for whatever reason, you would rather not welcome them to your home, s/he may give you lessons online!There’s nothing wrong with online guitar lessons as long as there are guitar instructors to provide constructive suggestions…No matter whether you’re looking for private lessons or to join a class â€" maybe through your church or local community centre, the important thing is that you learn how to play the guitar.We’ll be waiting to hear you soon!Now discover the story behind the passionate strains of flamenco guitar…

Ask a Law School Admissions Expert Ann Levine

Ask a Law School Admissions Expert Ann Levine Varsity Tutors brings you insider tips and advice straight from nationally recognized admissions experts. Prior to founding her own consulting firm, Law School Expert, Ann Levine was the Director of Admissions for both Loyola Law School in Los Angeles and California Western School of Law in San Diego. She is the author of The Law School Admission Game: Play Like an Expert, which is the best-selling law school admissions guide on Amazon, and has helped approximately 2,000 law applicants since the start of her firm back in 2004. VT: How much time should be set aside to adequately prepare for and complete a Law School application? Ann: Most people give themselves 9-12 months to do everything that is required for the law school application process, which includes preparing for the LSAT. Filling out the actual application is the easy part its getting everything together (transcripts and letters of recommendation), studying for the LSAT (2-6 months, depending on whether you end up taking it more than once, and waiting four weeks for your score), writing your personal statement (give yourself several weeks to perfect it) and other essays (many schools ask for essays in addition to your personal statement) that take the most time. There is a lot to do, so its important to not rush yourself. Good planning is essential. VT: What is the single most important thing applicants should focus on with this application? Ann: QUALITY. Its not about writing a dramatic essay, or providing the most materials along with your application. Its about the quality of your essay(s), resume, letters of rec, explanations of incidents or potential weaknesses in your background, and the choices you have made academically and professionally, and of course how well you bring it all together in your (well-written, mistake-free) personal statement. VT: What are the biggest mistakes one can make on a Law School application? Ann: Lack of quality, obviously. This can include typos, improper punctuation, and simple things that show lack of attention to detail. Another is letting the negative overwhelm the positive having so many explanations and hardships that you forget that the point of sharing hardships is to show that you have overcome them. Drama prevailing over substance is another one I often see. Remember to write professionally rather than creatively. For the high achievers, its especially important to keep in mind that exhibiting arrogance and/or naivet can hurt you. VT: What do Law School admissions officers look for most in an applicants essays/personal statements? Ann: As a law school admission director (and now with more than a decade of experience in law school admissions as a law school admission consultant), I want to see a personal statement that lets me get to know something new about the applicant, that shows me the back-story, the motivation, behind the materials that are already in front of me (resume, transcripts, etc.). I want to know, like, and then be impressed by an applicant because of what they have chosen to share and how they have chosen to share it. VT: Is there anything on a students application that would automatically disqualify them from being considered for the program? Ann: Dishonesty. Even worse, a pattern of dishonesty. VT: What about the Law School admissions process differs the most from undergraduate admissions? Ann: Law schools are looking for maturity and focus, and an understanding of the real world, rather than simply a cute or memorable story. VT: What kinds of things (experience, grades, etc.) might a student lack that would lead you to advise them not to apply? Ann: Someone with a very low LSAT score (low 140s and under) who also has a GPA under a 3.0 (particularly from a school that is not considered particularly rigorous) is going to have a very hard time in the process, especially if these factors are in addition to a criminal record. VT:Is there anything you might see on a students application that would quickly put them ahead in the running? Ann: Obviously, a great GPA from a good school overcomes a lot of negatives, even on the LSAT. My clients with 3.5 and up GPAs who score in the 140s and low 150s still get into amazing schools for the most part. Putting yourself through school, while still earning good grades, is also something that really impresses law schools. Being the first in your family to attend college, and really excelling once you are there, is also a plus factor in your application. There are a lot of subjective factors like this, but these are some examples. VT: What advice do you have regarding LSAT test prep? Ann: Take it seriously!!!!! Dont underestimate the LSAT, especially if youre not a naturally brilliant standardized test taker. Plan to prepare for several months, and take a prep course. Budget for this ahead of time because they can be pricey, but the good programs and tutors are worth it and will pay themselves back in dividends if your LSAT score puts you in range for scholarships. VT: What do law school admissions officers look for in recommendation letters? Ann: Details! I want examples, not just overly broad conclusions. I want to see enthusiasm for a candidate, a real and substantiated belief that the applicant is poised for great things. Writing, research and communication skills are great things to highlight. Facts demonstrating that you approach your studies/jobs seriously, with preparation and diligence, and that you offer valuable insights in a group setting, are very impressive.

Why Become a Tutor

Why Become a Tutor Rahul is one of our most popular tutors.  We asked him, why become a tutor? Alongside tutoring, he is also a film director.  You may be wondering, how has his career as a film director made him a better tutor... So, Rahul, tell us about yourself. Well I was born In Belfast and have since lived in eight countries across Europe, the Middle East, Asia and America. My upbringing has influenced my worldview and filmmaking. Rather than doing a simple short film set in London, for example, I ended up venturing to the Himalayas to direct my short film The Road Home, which ended up being shortlisted for the Academy Awards. Before becoming a film director, I explored a variety of careers ranging from professional sports to consulting and academia! At university, I created my own degree that blended Ancient Chinese Philosophy, Psychology and Political science and graduated in the top 0.5% of students in America. In my spare time, I enjoy travelling, hiking, paragliding, weight lifting and biking down volcanoes. What subjects do you tutor? I teach a range of subjects: English (Primary, 11+, GCSE, A-Levels, University) Creative Writing Maths (Primary, 11+) University Advice Acting / Drama Performance coaching   Public Speaking How and why did you start tutoring? I started tutoring a long time ago when I was in the States. It happened quite naturally when I was doing my undergraduate studies. I would be interacting with students from foreign countries and ended up helping them correct their grammar and improve their essays. This segued into helping students with their personal statements and essays for universities whether it be for undergraduate, masters, or Phd programs. Some of those whom I’ve helped have received a full studentship at Imperial, got accepted with a full scholarship to Georgia Institute of Technology, and got awarded a highest distinction for a masters at the London Film School! For me tutoring has always been something I’ve done on the side. But here in the UK, I’ve focused more on it. How has your profession helped you become a better tutor? Unbeknownst to me at the time, the skills I picked up as a tutor helped me become a better director. And now coming full circle, my skills and experience as a director have helped me become a better tutor. The very skills I use as a writer, for example, are the same skills I teach my students. In fact, the writing process I learned from a writing professor (who won a Pulitzer Prize) is the same writing process I teach students in a simplified and modified form. To make it more fun and accessible to students, I’ve relabelled some of the writing steps. For example, there is a brainstorming stage that I’ve called the vomiting stage, where I tell the students to vomit their ideas without focusing on grammar or style in an effort to get their thoughts from their brain down onto paper. The word “vomit” is so striking and memorable to students that they not only remember this stage, they end up chuckling as they go perform this stage in the writing process. Moreover, the skills I use to direct actors are the same skills I use with students to motivate them. When working with actors, for example, I have to figure out quickly what directing tools work with a particular actor, as every actor is trained differently and reacts to different tools. Likewise, when I meet a student for the first few lessons, I have to figure out what kind of learning style works best for them and then adapt myself accordingly. Every student is different, so my approach and tutoring style changes. If a student is hyperactive, for example, I may start off a lesson with meditation and visualisation to help some students be more centred and focused for the rest of the lesson. On the other hand, if a student is quite advanced with their writing, I’ll push them by having them rewrite their original essay with shorter, more elegant sentence. If they initially have trouble doing so, I’ll act as a guide and write a model sentence and then encourage them to rewrite the next sentence in a similar style. There’s a saying that the real student in the teacher - student relationship is the teacher. The better you can teach a subject, the better you understand the subject yourself. In my case, the more I tutor, the more I notice my directing skills grow. And in turn, the more I direct, the better I become as a tutor. What do you enjoy about tutoring? I find it to be an enjoyable and deeply satisfying experience!  Not only does it use my writing  and directing skills in a different arena, I also find it gratifying to see a student struggle, grapple, and finally grasp a new concept. For me, that’s priceless.   If you would like to contact or organise a tutoring lesson please visit his Tutorfair profile.

5 tips for living in Japan Japanese cultural practices

5 tips for living in Japan Japanese cultural practices Before you embark on your overseas teaching adventure, it is important to have a good understanding of the cultural practices and traditions unique to your new home. Doing your cultural research will help ensure you enjoy your experience while making new friends and avoiding accidentally offending the locals in your country of choice. Japan is a country home to a distinct set of cultural practices. Here is a list of social rules foreign teachers in Japan will find very helpful for their time abroad.1. Slurp your foodMaking slurping noises while eating your dinner is perfectly acceptable. In fact, a slurp can be viewed as polite way to share that you are enjoying your meal. Slurping tends to accompany a meal of noodles, or ramen, served piping hot.2. Do not tipWhen travelling, whether or not to tip service people is always an important piece of information to have in your back pocket. This is vital when visiting Japan because not only is tipping an uncommon practice, it may also be vi ewed as rude or insulting.Refrain from tipping, the price is the price. (If your service is significantly noteworthy, a gift might be an appropriate replacement for a tip).3. Cheers!Drink etiquette is strict. You might be familiar with the concept of serving yourself last in Western culture, but in Japan this social rule goes a step further: never serve yourself.Once your glass has been filled by another guest, don’t forget to share a cheers with your group. In Japanese, “cheers” translates to “kanpai”.4. Footwear etiquetteDifferent spaces call for different footwear. When you arrive at the entryway to someone’s home, remember to remove your shoes and if available, put on a pair of guest slippers to wear indoors. Hosts may also provide another pair of guest slippers to be worn in the bathroom only.  5. Fear the number 4The Japanese word for “four” sounds a lot like the word for “death”. For this reason, it is commonplace in Japanese culture to avoid using the num ber 4. This fear is known as tetraphobia.When teaching in Japan, do your best to avoid giving or sharing things in groups of four or using it in day-to-day to speech. You’ll be reminded of tetraphobia when your elevator skips the fourth floor.  Click here for more info on teaching in Japan.

How do I find a teaching job abroad

How do I find a teaching job abroad Teaching abroad can be a very rewarding experience. You’re placed outside of your comfort zone -- and often times, teaching in a foreign country where students speak a different language. You’ll learn things about yourself and grow as an educator, too. Countless teachers have told us that they are able to take what they’ve learned as educators abroad back to their home country. (Read more about this on our blog post about Angela and how teaching in Kazakhstan helped her succeed in the American classroom.) On top of that, you’ll find that you’ll have some amazing opportunities to travel as well. Teaching abroad sounds pretty great, doesn’t it? “How do I find a teaching job abroad?” you may ask. Here are the key steps that you should take to find a teaching job abroad: Understand what teaching jobs you qualify for, based on your qualifications. You will need a Bachelor’s Degree at the minimum to teach. If you have a Bachelor’s Degree along with a valid teaching license issued by your regional teacher licensing authority, you will have a lot more options and can teach in certain regions including the Middle East. If you don’t have a teaching license, you can still teach! Be sure to check the requirements of each job posting, as an ESL certificate, such as a TEFL certificate, may be required. Chances are, you’ll be well-positioned to teach in Asian countries such as China, South Korea, and Thailand, after you have obtained your TEFL certification. Some positions may also need post-qualification teaching experience as well, but any teaching-related experience is a plus. Research countries that interest you and make a list of top 5 countries. Now that you have a general sense of where you can go based on your educational background, do a little bit of research to find where specifically you’d like to go to teach abroad. Perhaps you have always wanted to travel to a specific country or you have visited a country in the past and loved it. There can be many reasons for why you want to teach in a particular country. Visit our “destinations” map to learn a bit more about the different countries and their culture and notable geographical information. Prepare your resume or CV and gather your certifications. If you haven’t already, make sure your resume is up to date and highlights all your relevant experience and education. Check out this webinar recording on how to complete your teacher resume. Register for a Teach Away account. If you haven’t already, applying for teaching positions through Teach Away is more reliable than flying out to a foreign country and applying for jobs when you’re there.This way, you’re able to apply from the comfort of your home -- definitely less stressful than moving yourself and your whole family to a foreign country and trying to find a job! Register for a Teach Away account here and make sure you upload your resume you prepared in step 3 and carefully fill out all your information. You’ll want to take at least 30 minutes to ensure you have added everything.
