Video Length: Approximately 13 minutes
This lesson gives you a solid, clear foundation in fractions — one of the most heavily tested math topics on the Nursing Entrance Test (NET). Taught by Nancy Kimmel, MSN FNP, a nurse practitioner and math teacher who has helped hundreds of nursing students pass their entrance exams, this whiteboard-style video walks you through fractions step by step, from the very beginning.
By the end of this 13-minute lesson, you will understand not just how fractions work, but also how they connect directly to their corresponding decimal values — a critical skill for the NET exam where both forms appear in the same problem.
What This Lesson Covers
- What fractions are and how to read and write them correctly
- The relationship between the numerator and denominator
- Simplifying fractions to their lowest terms
- Adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators
- Multiplying and dividing fractions
- Converting between mixed numbers and improper fractions
- Understanding the decimal equivalent of common fractions — for example, knowing that 1/4 = 0.25, 1/2 = 0.50, and 3/4 = 0.75 without hesitation
- How fractions and decimals appear together on the NET exam and how to move between them confidently

- Is preparing to take the Nursing Entrance Test (NET)
- Feels rusty on math and needs to rebuild from the ground up
- Struggled with fractions in school and wants a clear, no-confusion explanation
