Lesson 73 Converting Repeating Decimals To Fractions

This math lesson teaches students how to convert repeating decimals to fractions. It begins with an example of 0.253 repeating and explains that repeating decimals are rational numbers that can be written as fractions. It then outlines a 4-step process for conversion: 1) Let x equal the repeating decimal, 2) Multiply both sides by 10^n where n is the number of repeating digits, 3) Rewrite the right side as a whole number plus x, 4) Isolate the variable to find the fraction. Several examples are provided to demonstrate the process. Students then complete independent practice problems to apply the steps on their own.

Learning Objective:''We'will'convert'repeating'decimals'to'fractions.'
(Lesson'73)'

Activating Prior Knowledge:


We'can'solve'systems'of'equations'using'substitution'
'
'
'
! + ! = 15
'
! = 3! 3
'
'
'
'
'

'

2! + ! = 21
'
! = 3! + 1

Concept Development:
Repeating)Decimals:'Numbers'with'infinite'decimal'expansions'that'repeat'are'
rational'numbers.'
!
Example:''!!!!! !,!!!!!!0. 253'

We'would'know'what'to'do'to'convert'0.35'to'a'fraction,'but'what'about'0. 35?'
