3. What do you expect in this module?
Pre-Module
Have you tried sharing? What did the person you shared say? What would you say? In this
module, Let us share some knowledge about Mathematics.
Fraction
A fraction (from Latin fractus, "broken") represents a part of a whole or, more generally, any
number of equal parts.
Example:
1 3 4
, ,
8 7 9
Percentage
A percentage is a number or ratio that represents a fraction of 100. It is often denoted by the
symbol "%" or simply as "percent" or "pct." Percent means “per cent” which means per hundreds.
Example:
53%
78%
23%
Decimal
A decimal number can be defined as a number whose whole number part and the fractional part is
separated by a decimal point. The dot in a decimal number is called a decimal point. The digits
following the decimal point show a value smaller than one.
Example:
0.53
0.78
0.23
The Decimal System
The decimal numeral system is the standard system for denoting integer and non-integer numbers.
It is the extension to non-integer numbers of the Hindu–Arabic numeral system. The way of denoting
numbers in the decimal system is often referred to as decimal notation.

Converting Fraction to Decimal
The line in a fraction that separates the numerator and denominator can be rewritten using the
division symbol. So, to convert a fraction to a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator. If
required, you can use a calculator to do this. This will give us our answer as a decimal.
Example:
4
/5
= 4/5
= 0.8

Solution:
Lesson Proper
The Pre-Module explains the conversion of the fraction, decimal, percentage also in vice-
versa. What if it’s endless?
Non-Terminating Decimal
Non-Terminating decimal are decimals that never ends. Here’s how to convert them.
In percent fraction
2. Count the number of digits and put “9” for every digit and write in fraction form

0.33 =
99
Example:
0.6666666 = 66.66666666666…
Decimal = 66.67
Percent Fraction
66.66666666666… = 66.66
66
=

66
= 66 +
99
66
= 66 %
