1 TALK.9 Fractions, Decimals, and Percentages In this section you will convert between fractions, decimals, and percentages, and work with recurring decimals. Exercise.9 Warm Up Moza says, The numbers,.0 and.00 are equal. Is she correct? Explain. a Make 0 5. Find an equivalent fraction, using the fewest possible tiles. b You will need: fraction tiles 6 Make 0. Find an equivalent fraction, using the fewest possible tiles. Simplify these fractions: a b c d??? 8 0 =?? 8 =?? 0 5 =?? Imagine what each number would look like if you made it with decimal tiles =?? 4?? Word fact: Equivalent means the same size. 79

2 4 Copy and complete this table of equivalent fractions, decimals, and percentages. Fraction Decimal Percentage??? 0.5??? 75% 5?? You should know these from memory. If you don t, use fraction, decimal and percentage magnets to help you work them out. Then try to memorize them. 5 Write each of these mixed numbers as decimals: a b 4 c 5 d 4 Use your answers to Q4 to help you. Main Exercise 6 Copy and complete to write equivalent fractions with a denominator of 0: a b c d 5 =???? 0 5 =? =? 0 =??? 7 Write each fraction in Q6 as a decimal % 50% Word fact: A mixed number has a whole number part and a fraction part.? 0 80

3 8 Copy and complete to write equivalent fractions with a denominator of 00: a b c d 5 = 50 =?? =? =?? e??? =??? 00 9 a Write each fraction in Q8 as a decimal.? 00 b Use a calculator to check your answers to part a. is the same as 5, so press: 5 0 Write each decimal as a fraction with a denominator of 0, 00 or 000: a 0.7 b 0.49 c 0.7 d 0. e 0.6 f 0.04 g 0. h 0.6 i 0.05 j 0.5 Simplify each fraction in Q0. Simplify in your head if possible, or draw an arrow diagram. 8

4 You need to be able to convert between any fractions, decimals and percentages. Where the numbers are tidy, you should convert by hand. Where the numbers are more difficult, you can use a calculator. There are two main strategies: To change between decimals and percentages, multiply / divide by 00. For example: a Convert 0.5 to a percentage = 5% b Convert 45% to a decimal =.45 To change between either a decimal or a percentage, and a fraction, use fractions with denominators of 0, 00, or 000. For example: a b c d??? 0 / 00 / 000 Decimals Convert 0 to a decimal. We need to make a denominator of 0, 00 or = 00 5 Now write this as a decimal. 5 hundredths = 0.5 Convert 9 50 to a percentage. We need to make a denominator of 00 (because percentages are out of 00) = 00 8 Now write this as a percentage. 8 hundredths = 8% Convert 0.4 to a fraction. 0.4 is 4 tenths. We can write this as: Simplify the fraction (if possible). Convert % to a fraction. Fractions % is out of 00.We can write this as: Simplify the fraction (if possible). Percentages??? 0 / 00 / 000 Decimals Decimals = = 5 8 Fractions Percentages Percentages Math fact: If you are converting to a percentage, remember to include the % sign in your answer. If you are converting to a decimal the answer will not have a % sign. 8

5 TALK a Find the three pairs of matching decimal and fraction cards, and write them in your notebook b Which fraction is left? Write a decimal to match this fraction. c Which decimal is left? Write a fraction to match this decimal. Here are some fractions: Write each fraction as: a an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 00. b a decimal c a percentage d Does it matter if you have a zero on the end of the decimal in part b? How does the zero help you write the percentage in part c? 4 Look at the fractions written as decimals in Q. Now compare these with the percentages in Q. a Explaining What do you do to change a decimal to a percentage? Use a decimal slider to help you explain. b Explaining What do you do to a percentage to change it to a decimal? Explain. 5 Here are some decimals: Write each decimal as: a a percentage. 6 Here are some percentages: Write each percentage as: Write a decimal in the decimal slider. What do you need to do to get the percentage? Percent (%) means out of 00. So 00? =?%. slide 0 7 Multiply by 00. Use a decimal slider to help you. b a fraction or mixed number. Simplify if possible. 9% 8% 49% 6% % 9% 0%, 5% 75% a a decimal b a fraction or mixed number. Simplify if possible. 8

6 TALK TALK 7 Here are some mixed numbers: Write each mixed number as: a a decimal b a percentage c What do you notice about all the percentages? Copy and complete this sentence: The percentages are all more than?, because mixed numbers and decimals are all more than?. 8 A sports coach tells his team to give 0%. What do you think this means? 9 a Write 5 as: i an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 00 ii a decimal iii a percentage b Use a calculator to work out 5. What do you notice? c Multiply your answer in part b by 00. What do you notice? 0 a Write each of these fractions as: i an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 00 ii a decimal iii a percentage Work out your answer mentally if possible. Otherwise, use a calculator. b Which denominators (bottom numbers) in fractions could you easily work with mentally? Write these fractions, decimals, and percentages from smallest to largest: % % Which of these is smallest? % The whole number part will go in the ones column. Change all of them to decimals to make it easier to compare. 84

7 TALK Which shape has the biggest area: the parallelogram or the triangle? Show your working. 4 a What fraction of an hour is 4 minutes? Simplify your fraction. b What percentage of an hour is 4 minutes? 5 Mira says,.5 hours is hours and 5 minutes. Laila says,.5 hours is hours and 5 minutes. Who is right? Explain. 6 This table shows students favorite sports: Football Tennis Cricket Other Number of students 0 6 a What fraction of students chose football? Simplify your fraction. b What percentage of students chose football? c What percentage of students chose tennis? d What percentage of students chose cricket? e What percentage of students chose another sport? f 0.68 m 5 8 m.5 is a decimal. What is this as a fraction? How many minutes in an hour? Use your answer to part a. How many students in total? Explaining How did you work out the answer to part e? Was there more than one way? 85

8 HANDS ON ACtiVITY 7 Gathering and Recording Information Work out the percentage of students in your class whose favorite sport is football. Example Faisal earns a salary of AED. His salary is increased to 000 AED. Work out the percentage increase. Answer Step Work out the size of the increase. Increase is = 000 Step Step Think how you will collect and record the information. You may use a calculator to help you work out the percentage. Write the increase as a fraction of the original salary. = Make an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 00. = = 00 0 Step 4 Write the fraction as a percentage. % increase = 0% 8 An airline was very successful in 04. In 05, it increased its staff s monthly salaries: Original salary in 04 New salary in 05 Pilot AED AED Co-pilot AED AED Cabin crew AED AED a Work out the size of the salary increase for each job title. b Who received the biggest actual increase? c Work out the percentage increase for each person s salary. Math fact: To find a percentage increase, we write the increase amount as a percentage of the original amount. Write the size of each increase as a fraction of the original salary in 04. Then change your fractions into percentages. 86

9 TALK TALK d Who received the biggest percentage increase? e Compare your answers to parts b and d. Are they the same? Explain. 9 The table shows the price a car salesman pays for some cars (cost price) and the price he sells them for (selling price). Cost price (AED) Selling price (AED) Jeep Wrangler Mini Cooper Range Rover The profit on each car is the difference between the cost price and the selling price. a What is the profit in AED for each car? b For each car, work out the percentage profit. c Did the car with the greatest profit in AED give the greatest percentage profit? A recurring decimal does NOT end. The digits after the decimal point repeat forever. A dot is placed on top of the number that repeats to show that it is a recurring decimal. For example, these are recurring decimals: 0. means the is repeating: means the 4 is repeating: means the and the 8 are repeating: means is the first repeating number and 5 is the last repeating number: In these recurring decimals, which digits are repeating? a 0. b 0. c 0. Look at these decimals: First, find the profit as a fraction of the cost price. a List the recurring decimals. b List the decimals that are not recurring. 87

10 TALK Write these recurring decimals using dots above the number or numbers that repeat. Place the dots carefully. a 0. b.4 c.4444 d The fraction 7 as a decimal is: Write this as a recurring decimal. 4 a Use a calculator to write as a decimal. i Write all the numbers from your calculator display. ii Write your answer using the dot above the recurring digit. b Explaining Why is your answer to part a a recurring decimal? Explain. c Write as a percentage to decimal places. 5 a Use a calculator to write as a decimal. Write all the numbers from your calculator display. b What do you notice about the last digit on your calculator display? still a recurring decimal? c Is Multiply your decimal by 00. Which numbers are repeating? Write your answer using the dot above the recurring digit. d Write as a percentage to decimal places. Math fact: Calculators round recurring decimals, so if the recurring digit is more than 5 the last digit on the calculator display will be rounded up, e.g. 0.8 would show as Multiply your decimal by 00. Don t forget to round up your last decimal place carefully. 88

11 THINK 6 a Use a calculator to work out 9 as a recurring decimal and a percentage to decimal places. b Use a calculator to work out 9 as a recurring decimal and a percentage to decimal places. c Identifying Patterns Predict 4 9 as a recurring decimal and percentage to decimal places. d Use a calculator to check your prediction for part c. 7 Look at these fraction, decimal, and percentage cards. A B C D E F G 66.67% ( d.p.) H I J K L M a Which cards are equivalent? b Which card is the odd one out? 0.6 0% 0..% ( d.p.) c Explaining Look at card A. Why is it 66.67% and not 66.66%? 8 a Use a calculator to work out, and as recurring decimals. b Identifying Patterns What do you notice about your answers to part a? c Use your answer to part b to predict 4 and 5 as recurring decimals. Check on your calculator. 60% Equivalent means they have the same value: = 9? ; = 9?... Which card does not match any of the others? 89

What is my number? b Defining Problems Write a number puzzle like the one in part a for a partner to solve. 99

22 Summary Integers positive number or positive number = positive number negative number or positive number = negative number + positive number or negative number = negative number + negative number or negative number = positive number + Powers and Roots tells us to write the number down two times, and multiply them together: 5 is 5 squared. 5 = 5 5 = 5 tells us to write the number down three times, and multiply them together: 5 is 5 cubed. 5 = = 5 4 tells us to write the number down four times, and multiply them together: 5 4 is 5 to the power = = 65 squared cubed to the power square root cube root 4 You can use calculators to work out powers and roots of numbers. To work out: 6 press 6 x = 8 8 x = = = x SHIFT 8 x 8 = (The key is above the cubed key. x We need to press SHIFT first.) SHIFT = (First tell the calculator which root you want, e.g. the 5th root. Then type the number under the root sign.) 00

23 Calculations with Fractions and Decimals When calculating with numbers, estimate first. This helps you check if your answer is sensible. You can only add or subtract fractions with the same denominator. When adding mixed numbers, add the whole numbers, then add the fractions. When subtracting mixed numbers, first subtract the whole numbers, then the fraction parts. To multiply two fractions, multiply the numerators and multiply the denominators. To divide a whole number or fraction by a fraction, turn the second fraction in the calculation upside-down and then multiply. To multiply or divide mixed numbers, change the mixed number to an improper fraction. When multiplying decimals or dividing by decimals, think about the areas of rectangles to help you. When dividing by decimals, you can multiply all the numbers in the calculation by 0 or 00 to make it an easier calculation, e.g has the same answer as.6 4, which is easier to work out. Rounding You can round numbers to decimal places = 0.5 To solve , think about how many blocks of 0. can fit inside 0.8. Round to one decimal place ( d.p.) means round so there is one number after the decimal point. Round to two decimal places ( d.p.) means round so there are two numbers after the decimal point. You can also round numbers to significant figures. The first significant figure is the one with the highest place value. Starting from the left, this is the first digit that is not zero, e.g. In the number , the red digits are all significant; is the first significant figure, 4 is the second significant figure, then 0 is the third, and so on. 0

24 To show you have rounded to one significant figure write ( s.f.) after the rounded numbers. To show you have rounded to two significant figures, write ( s.f.) after the rounded number. If you are solving a word problem where some measurements are given, you should give your answer to the same degree of accuracy as the measurements in the problem. Percentages, Fractions and Decimals To change between decimals and percentages, multiply / divide by 00. Decimals To change between either a decimal or a percentage, and a fraction, use fractions with denominators of 0, 00, or 000.??? 0 / 00 / 000 Decimals To convert a fraction to a decimal on a calculator, divide the numerator by the denominator. e.g. 8 = 8 = 0.75 Some decimals have a fixed number of digits. e.g. 0.5 only has decimal digits. A recurring decimal does not end. The digits after the decimal point repeat forever. We use dots to show recurring decimals. e.g is written as is written as is written as Percentages can be more than 00% Fractions Percentages??? 0 / 00 / 000 Percentages You can add or subtract percentages from 00% to find a percentage increase (or profit) or a percentage decrease (or loss or reduction). A double number line helps you do this. 0
