Fractions to Decimals
Rename fractions as decimals.
Math for Life 5 Revised Edition, p. 172
Adelaida Celeridad-Wright & Adela C. Villamayor
A fraction can be changed to decimal easily if the denominator is a power of ten. However, not
all fractions has a denominator which is a power of ten.
Case 1: If the denominator of the simplest form is a factor of any power of ten, change the
fraction to an equivalent fraction with a denominator of a power of ten of which it is a factor.
Simplifying the given fraction first may also help.

[Hint: A fraction can be changed to an equivalent fraction if the denominator of its simplest form
is a power of 2 or a power of 5.]
Case 2: If the fraction cannot be changed to an equivalent fraction that has a denominator of
any power of ten, divide the numerator by the denominator.
3.)

Note: If the divisor is larger than the dividend, affix a decimal to the dividend without changing
its value. Thus, affix zero (0) every time a number can’t be divided. Then, divide the dividend
like whole numbers. Secure the ones digit with zero (0) to emphasize that the number is less
than one. This also proves that any proper fraction is always less than one. 0.44

Decimals are classified into 4 kinds:
Non-repeating and Terminating Decimal – the digits do not repeat or occur in a pattern and
has a definite number of place value.
Example: 0.129, 0.36162, 1.0986
Repeating and Terminating Decimal – the digits are repeated and has a definite number of
place values.
Example: 0.555, 0.767676, 0.234234
Non-repeating and Non-Terminating Decimal – the digits do not repeat and has infinite
number of place values.
Example: the value of pi (Ο€) = 3.14159265358979323846264338327...
Repeating and Non-Terminating Decimal – the digits do not repeat and has infinite number

Since a fraction can be changed to a decimal, then a decimal can be changed back to fraction.
To change a decimal to fraction, write the fraction the way you read its decimal equivalent.
Whenever possible, reduce the fraction to its simplest form.

CONCEPT NOTES
:
To round off decimals,
Find your digit,
Look right next door,
Five or more, add one more,
Four or less, just ignore.
Example:
(locate the digit being rounded)
(look at the digit to the right of the place being rounded
to.)
(if the digit is 5 or more, add 1 to the digit being rounded
remove the digits to its right)
(if the digit is 4 or less, let the digit remain as it is and
remove the digits to its right.)
Round off 34.9673 to the nearest hundredths
6 is the digit to be rounded.
Since the digit to its right is greater than 4, then we add 1 to 6.

Adelaida Celeridad-Wright & Adela C. Villamayor
CONCEPT NOTES
:
To compare decimals, compare the digits in the same place value beginning at the left
until you find a difference. The number with a greater digit in the same place value is the
greater number, otherwise, the lesser number.
Example: 8.43 ___ 8.49
a.
Compare the whole numbers.
8.43 ___ 8.49
same value
b.
Compare the digits in the tenths place
8.43 ___ 8.49
same value
c.
Compare the digits in the hundredths place
8.43 ___ 8.49
3 is less than 9
Therefore, 8.43 < 8.49
In arranging decimals, compare all the decimals in a given set. To arrange in ascending
order means to start with least to greatest. To arrange in descending order means to start with
greatest to least.
Example: 0.845, 0.019, 0.892, 0.91
Tip: Arrange the numbers horizontally to easily compare each digit with the same place value.

value must be observed. To do this, simply align the decimal points and the place values will
follow. Annex zeroes to the right as place holders if needed. Then, add or subtract in the same
way as whole numbers.

many places needed to make it a whole number. (If the divisor is a whole number, there is no
need to move the decimal point.)

places as you moved in the divisor.

the dividend.

In solving word problems, one must carefully understand what the problem is asking.
Some word problems includes hidden questions that the problem solver must figure out in order
to answer what is asked.
Example:
Francis takes a 12-month loan for a motorcycle that costs Php75, 723.75. He paid a down
payment of Php30, 000. How much should he still pay monthly?
Understand
a.
What are the given information in the problem?
Php75, 723.75 – cost of the motorcycle
Php30,000.00 – down payment
b.
What is asked in the problem? How much is his monthly payment?

What operations will you use to answer the problem?

Solve
d.
What is the solution to the problem?

?
Php75, 723.75
To know the amount of the remaining balance, subtract the amount of down payment
from the actual price of the motorcycle:
Php75, 723.75
- Php30, 000.00
Php45, 723.75
To know the amount of the monthly payment, divide the remaining balance by 12
months:
Php45, 723.75 ÷ 12 months = Php3, 810.3125
Look Back: Php3, 810.3125 × 12 months = Php45, 723.7500

:
Rate is a comparison of two quantities of different units.
Example: The car travels at 60 kilometers per hour while the motorcycle travels at 40
kilometers per hour.
Kilometer is a unit of distance while hour is a unit of time. Since two different units were used to
compare the two quantities, the rate is being describe in the situation. The rate of distance over
time is called speed.
Rate can be written as 60km per hour or 60km/hour.
A rate that is simplified to a per-unit form is called unit rate. Unit rate is easily identified if the
denominator is 1
Example: Luke can type 90 words in 3 minutes. On an average, how many words can he type
every minute?
Rate
àοƒ  90 words per 3 minutes or
90 words/3 minutes
To compute for the unite rate, divide the numerator by the denominator then copy the units of
each term respectively.

CONCEPT NOTES
:
In solving problems involving proportion, the terms must correspond accordingly. Identify
what object is being described by each quantity so as not to interchange the means by the
extremes and vice versa.
Using an approach can make the given problem clearer and easier to solve. Here are some
examples of word problems that involve proportion.
Example #1
In a library, there are 25 books for every two rows in the shelf. How many books are there
if there are 8 rows in a shelf?
Write a proportion based on the problem.
25 : 2
=
N:8
books : rows books : rows
25 × 8 = 200
25 : 2 = N : 8
2 × N = 200
What should be the value of N to make 2 × N = 200?
2 × N = 200
N = 200 ÷ 2
N = 100
Therefore, there are 100 books in a shelf of 8 rows.

CONCEPT NOTES
:
Percent means per hundred or hundredths. (β€˜per’ means β€˜for every’ and β€˜cent’ means
β€˜hundred’). The symbol used for percent is %.
Example
In a 10 by 10 grid, there are 100 boxes.
30% of the grid is shaded with blue,
34% of the grid is shaded with red,
30% of the grid is shaded with yellow,
6% of the grid is unshaded.
1.) In a group of 100 students, 24 of them like strawberries, 18
students like blueberries and 39 like raspberries. That means; 24% of
the group likes strawberries, 18% of the group likes blueberries
and 39% of the group likes raspberries.
Take note that in the first example, the shaded region can be expressed as fractions. Thus, a
fraction can be expressed as percent and vice versa.
To change a percent to fraction, drop the percent symbol (%) and put 100 as the
denominator. Reduce if necessary.

P = 9, therefore, there are 9 apples in the basket.

CONCEPT NOTES
:
To find the base, divide the percentage by the rate.
B=P÷R
Example 1: 24 is 60% of what number?
P = 24
R = 60%
B=?
B=P÷R
B = 24 ÷ 60% (change percent to decimal)
B = 24 ÷ 0.6
B = 40
P B R Example 2: 20% of the class are non-Catholics. If there are 7 non-Catholics, how
many students are there in the class?
P=7
R = 20%
B=?
B=P÷R
B = 7 ÷ 20% (change percent to decimal)
B = 7 ÷ 0.2
B = 35, therefore there are 35 students in the class.

CONCEPT NOTES
:
To find the rate, divide the given percentage by the base or rewrite the
number as a fraction.
R=P÷B
P B R Example 1: 56 is what percent of 80?
P = 56
B = 80
B=?
R=P÷B
R = 56 ÷ 80
R = 0.7 (change decimal to percent)
R = 70%
Example 2: Czarina’s score in her exam is 38. If there are 40 items in the
exam, what is the rate of her score?
P = 38
B = 40
B=?
R=P÷B
R = 38 ÷ 40
R = 0.95 (change decimal to percent)
R = 95%
