IN UNDERSTANDING THE
LESSON
Tells us how many parts of a whole we
have. Its is composed of Numerator and
Denominator.
Numerator – is the upper portion of the fraction
Denominator – is the lower portion of the fraction
Vinculum – a horizontal line drawn over a group of terms in a mathematical
expression to indicate that they are to be operated on as single entity by the
preceding or following operator.
Terminating Decimal – are those numbers which come to an end after few
repetitions after decimal point.
Repeating Decimal – or recurring decimal is a decimal representation of a
number whose digits are periodic and infinitely repeated portion is not zero.

CHANGING FRACTIONS TO DECIMALS
 When a fraction is converted to a decimal, it will be in one of
two forms: a terminating decimal or a repeating decimal.
To change a fraction to a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator.
EXAMPLE: Change 3/8 to a decimal.

A mixed number can be changed to a decimal by first changing it to an


improper fraction and then dividing the numerator by the denominator.
(Bluman, A., 2006)

FRACTIONS TO PERCENT
 Changing Fractions to Percent. To change a fraction to a
percent, change the fraction to a decimal (i.e., divide the
numerator by the denominator) and then move the decimal
two places to the right and affix the percent sign. (Bluman,
A., 2006)

EXAMPLE : Change 2 4 as a percent
FINDING THE PART
A percent word zproblem has three values: the base (B) or whole, the rate (R)
or percent, and the part (P).
Problems can be stated as follows: Find 20% of 60.
What is 20% of 60?
20% of 60 is what number?
In this type of problems, you are given the base and the rate and are asked to find the part. Use the
formula Part = Rate × Base. Be sure to change the percent to a decimal or fraction before multiplying.
