With adding and subtracting fractions, you must find a common denominator. In multiplication, you just multiply numerator by numerator; denominator by denominator. In division, you multiply the fraction by the reciprocal of the 2nd. In multiplication and division, finding a common denominator is not needed.

X-doubling periods
Y-height of bamboo
Y=ab^x
1) make a table of values
X Y
1 5
2 10
3 20
2) write equations and substitute
5=ab^1 —> a=5/b^1 —> a=5/b
10=ab^2
Substitute into second equation
10=(5/b)*b^2
10=5b^2/b
10=5b
b=2
Substitute back in
b=2
10=a*2^2
10=4a
a=5/2
End equation:
Y=5/2*2^x
25 were vanilla
500 divided by 100 is 5 meaning that one percent is 5 and 5x5 is 25
