Notes Chapter 5 8th Grade Pre-Algebra McDowell
LCM LCM 9/25 Least common multiple The smallest number that is a multiple of both numbers
Steps To Find LCM • 1. Make a multiplication table for each number • 2. Compare the multiplication tables • 3. Pick the smallest number that both (all) tables have
Example Find the LCM of 8 and 3 1. Make a mult table 2. Compare 3. Find the smallest match • The LCM of 8 and 3 is 24
You Try Find the LCM between 10 and 45 12 and 7
Comparing And Ordering fractions Manipulate the fractions so each has the same denominator • Compare/order the fractions using the numerators (the denominators are the same)

Fractions and Decimals 9/28 Terminating Decimal a decimal that ends 1¼ or 1.25 Repeating Decimal When the same group of numbers continues to repeat forever 4 or 4.33333333333 4.3
1. Keep the whole number a whole number Converting Fractions To decimals • 2. Divide the numerator by the denominator Example
Converting Terminal decimals to fractions 1. Find the place value of the terminating decimal • 2. Place the numbers after the decimal over the place value • Keep whole numbers as whole numbers • 3. Simplify the fraction to lowest terms
Example 6.925 • The 5 is in the thousandths place so 1000 is the denominator 6 • 925 • 1000 • Simplify 6 • 925 25 • 1000 25 6 • 37 • 40
Converting Repeating decimals to fractions Let the decimal = n 0.6 = n • 2. Multiply both sides by 100 0.6 x 100 = n x 100 66.6 = 100n • 3. Subtract n from both sides • Remember n = 0.6 66.6 = 100n -0.6 - n 66 = 99n • 4. Divide both side by 99 to solve for n
4. Divide both side by 99 to solve for n 66 = 99n 99 99 66 = n 99 • 5. Reduce the fraction 66 11= n 99 11 2 = n 3

Adding and Subtracting Fractions 9/29 Steps 1. Convert all mixed numbers into improper fractions 2. Find a common denominator 3. Add or subtract the numerators 4. Keep the common denominator 5. Write in simplest form (change all improper fractions back into mixed numbers)
Example Common denominator so add or subtract the numerator Already in simplest form
Example Common denominator so add or subtract the numerator Already in simplest form because we do not know what x is
Example Find a common denominator 24 x 4 x 4 Add or Subtract numerators Already in simplest form
Converting A Mixed Number To an Improper MAD face • Multiply, Add, keep the Denominator • 1. Multiply the denominator by the whole number then add the product to the numerator • 2. That is the new numerator—keep the old denominator
6 x 5 + 3 6 30 + 3 6 33 6
1. Divide the numerator by the dominator Converting An Improper To a Mixed # • 2. The quotient is the whole number • 3. The remainder is the new numerator • 4. Keep the same denominator
Example Convert 26 to a mixed number 3 • 8 • R 2 • 3 26 • -24 • 2
Example 1. Convert all mixed numbers into improper fractions 2. Find a common denominator 3. Add or subtract the numerators 4. Keep the common denominator 5. Write in simplest form
