Word Problem Example ,[object Object],Step 2) Write equivalent fractions with a denominator of 40.

Word Problem Example ,[object Object],Step 1) Find the LCM of 8 and 10: 8 = 2 3 . 10 = 2 times 5. LCM = 2 3 • 5 = 2 • 2 • 2 • 5 = 8 • 5 = 40

Word Problem Example ,[object Object],Step 3) Compare the fractions. The debate team won the greater fraction of competitions.

Chapter 5, Section 2: Fractions and Decimals.

Remember Long Decimal Division? ,[object Object],When there is no remainder to a division problem, then the quotient is called a TERMINATING DECIMAL . 5/8 = ? There may be several decimal places before you get to a remainder of zero.

Write each fraction or mixed number as a decimal. ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Repeating Decimal ,[object Object],Examples: 2/3 and 15/11, try them…

Comparing/Ordering Fractions ,[object Object],Order from least to Greatest: 0.2, 4/5, 7/10, 0.5

Writing Decimals as Fractions ,[object Object],0.43 is read as “ forty-three hundredths ”, which is the same as 43/100 . Write 1.12 as a mixed number in simplest form: Write 2.32 as a mixed number in simplest form:

Algebra and Repeating Decimals as Fractions. ,[object Object],N = 0. 72 Let the variable n equal the decimal . 100N = 72. 72 Because 2 digits repeat, multiply each side by 10 2 , or 100. 100N = 72. 72 - N - 0.72 The subtraction property of Equality allows you to subtract an equal quantity from each side of the equation. So, subtract to eliminate 0. 72 .

Algebra and Repeating Decimals as Fractions. ,[object Object],100N = 72. 72 - N - 0.72 99N = 72 Divide each side by 99. 99 99 N = 72/99 Divide the numerator and denominator by the GCF, 9. N = 8/9 Simplified.
