COMMON FRACTIONS • It is not uncommon to need to change a fraction into a decimal or a decimal into a fraction. There are some common conversions that people use regularly. On the next slide is a table that shows a number of fractions in the first column. COPY the table, then without using a calculator, estimate the decimal equivalent and write it in the second column. When you have filled the second column, check your answers with the teacher. Use the third column to write in the correct answer if your estimate was incorrect. COMMON FRACTION
Simplifying / cancelling down fractions • To simplify a fraction, divide the top (numerator) and bottom (denominator) by the highest number that can divide into both numbers exactly • Eg: Eg: FRACTIONS
Equivalent fractions • Have the same value even though they may look different. Rule:Change the bottom using multiply or divide, and the same to the top must be applied. • Eg: Eg: FRACTIONS
1. Cancel down these fractions into their simplest form. • 2. Find the missing values in the sets of equivalent fractions. EXERCISE 6

CONVERTING • To convert Fractions or Decimals to a Percentage the rule is to multiply by 100 • Eg: Eg: 0.34 × 100 = 34% • To convert Percentages to Fractions or Decimals the rule is to divide by 100 • Eg:Eg: 56% = 56 ÷ 100 = 0.56 CONVERTING FRACTIONS, DECIMALS & PERCENTAGES

CALCULATING PERCENTAGES FROM AN AMOUNT • Sometimes we need to find a specific percentage of a value e.g. 20% of $200. It is good to be able to do basic calculations with & without a calculator. • Eg. 20% of $200 = 20% ×200 • = × 200 • = $40 PERCENTAGES
