Math
Today we learned how to compare and order decimals. A reminder that the mouth (>) eats the bigger number! Please read each question carefully!
Examples
of changing fractions and mixed numbers into decimals using HUNDREDTHS:
45/100 = 0.45
2 & 87/100 = 2. 87
1 &9/100 = 1.09
Examples
of changing decimals
into fractions and mixed numbers using HUNDREDTHS:
2.61
= 2 & 61/100
1.02
= 1 & 2/100
5.99
= 5 & 99/100
Examples
of changing fractions and mixed numbers into decimals using TENTHS:
1 &
1/10 = 1.1
3 &
6/10 = 3.6
2 &
4/10 = 1.4
5/10 =
0.5
Examples
of changing decimals
into fractions and mixed numbers using TENTHS:
1.8
= 1 & 8/10
0.2
= 2/10
7.5
= 7 & 5/10
HINTS:
An improper fraction is more
that 1 whole and when the numerator (top number) is bigger than the denominator
(bottom number). For example, 7/3.
A mixed number is has a whole
number and a fraction. It is another way to write an improper fraction. For
example, 2 & 2/3.
We can change an improper fraction into a mixed number and vice versa!
CHANGING AN IMPROPER
FRACTION INTO A MIXED NUMBER:
9/4 =
Step 1: Ask yourself how many times does 4 go into 9? The answer is 2.
Step 2: Ask yourself what is 4 (the denominator) x 2 (the answer from
step 1) = 8.
Step 3: Take the 9 (the numerator) and – 8 (the answer from step 2)= 1
Answer = 2 & ¼ (the 2 come from step 1, the 1 comes from step 3, and
the 4 stays the same as in the original fraction)
**The denominator will not change – it will stay the same**
CHANGING A MIXED NUMBER INTO
AN IMPROPER FRACTION:
3 & ¼
Step 1: Multiply the whole number by the denominator (3 x 4 = 12)
Step 2: Add the answer from step one (12) to the numerator
(12 + 1 = 13)
Answer = 13/4
**The denominator will not change – it will stay the same**
Homework – Math Test
will take place on Wednesday, May 24
