Let’s Understand
Fractions
𝑎
A fraction is a rational number of the form , which means 𝑎: 𝑏 (𝑎 divided by 𝑏), where
𝑏
𝑎 is the numerator and 𝑏 is the denominator. Also, it represents part of a whole.
𝑎
If 𝑎 and 𝑏 are both positive, is called proper fraction if 𝑎 < 𝑏 (the numerator (𝑎) is
𝑏
less than the denominator (𝑏)) and an improper fraction if 𝑎 > 𝑏 (the numerator (𝑎) is greater
than the denominator (𝑏)).

Decimals
A system of counting that is based on the number ten, tenth parts and power of ten is
called decimal system.
A decimal number can be defined as a number whose whole number part and
fractional part is separated by a dot called decimal point. The digits following the decimal point
show value smaller than one.

Ways on how to convert a fraction to decimal:

Method1: Long Division
To convert a fraction to decimal, divide the numerator (dividend) by its
denominator (divisor).
Method2:
Step1: Find a number you can multiply by the denominator to make it 10, 100, 1000,
or any 1 followed by 0s.
Step2: Multiply both numerator and denominator by the number you obtained in Step1.
Step3: Then just write down the numerator, putting the decimal point in the correct spot
(one space from the right-hand side for every zero in the denominator).

Ways on how to convert a decimal to fraction:
Method1: To convert decimals to fractions, write them the way they are read. Then, write
in simplest form, if needed.
Method2:
Step1: Write down the given decimal with 1 as its denominator (decimal divided by 1),
𝑑𝑒𝑐𝑖𝑚𝑎𝑙
like this: .
1
Step2: Multiply both numerator and denominator by 10 for every digit after the decimal
point. (If there are two digits after the decimal point, then use 100 and if there
are three digits after the decimal point, then use 1000, etc.)
Step3: Simplify the fraction. (Use the concept of Greatest Common Factor or GCF)

Example1: Convert each to a decimal.

1 1
a. b. 5
4 3

Solution:
a. 0.25; We will use method 2. b. 5.333… or 𝟓. 𝟑̅; Set aside the whole
Step1: We can multiply 4 by 25 to number, which is 5, then compute
make it 100. 1 ÷ 3.
Step2: Multiply both numerator and 0.333
denominator by 25. ̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅
3)1.000
1 25 25
∙ = 9
4 25 100
Step3: Write down 25 with the decimal 10
point 2 spaces from the right 9
(because 100 has two zeros). 10
0.25 9
1
Using the long division, we will get a
continuous 3. Place the whole number,
which is 5, on the ones place.
1
Therefore, 5 is equal to 5.333… or
3
5. 3̅ (We usually, write 5.333... as 5. 3̅,
with bar over the digit or block of digits
that repeats).

Example2: Convert each to a fraction.

a. 0.75 ̅̅̅̅
b. 0. 27
Solution:
𝟑
a. ; To convert 0.75 to fraction, follow these steps:
𝟒
Method1:
Step1: 0.75 is read as seventy-five hundredths, so we write 75 in the numerator and
75
100 in the denominator ( ).
100
75
Step2: Simplify . (The GCF of 75 and 100 is 25.)
100
75÷25 3

Method2:

Step1: Write 0.75 in the form .

0.75
Step2: Multiply 100 to both numerator and denominator of (because there two
1
digits after the decimal point which are 7 and 5)
0.75 100 75

b. ; Since the given is repeating decimal, we will use a different solution.
𝟏𝟏
Method1: Algebraically
̅̅̅̅ (Equation 1)
Step1: Let 𝑛 = 0. 27
Step2: Multiply both sides of Equation 1 by a power of 10 (101 = 10, 102 = 100,
103 = 1000, …) determined by making the repeating digit/s part of the whole
number. Since we need to make the repeating digits 2 and 7 part of the whole
number, we need to multiply both sides by 100.
100(𝑛) = (0. 27 ̅̅̅̅)100 ⇒ 100𝑛 = 27. 27
̅̅̅̅ (Equation 2)
Step3: Subtract Equation 1 from Equation 2.
100𝑛 = 27. ̅27̅̅̅ (Equation 2)
− 𝑛 = 0. ̅27
̅̅̅ (Equation 1)
99𝑛 = 27
Step4: Solve for 𝑛.
99𝑛 = 27
27
𝑛=
99

𝑛=

Therefore, 0. ̅27
̅̅̅ = .

Method2: Using the pattern (Shortcut)

Case 1: A decimal with repeating digit/s only
• Write the number formed by the repeating digit/s in the numerator.
• In the denominator, write as many 9s as the number of repeating digits in the
decimal. (If there is only one digit that repeats, use 9; If there are two digits that
repeat, use 99 and if there are three digits that repeat, use 999, etc.)
• Simplify, if needed.

Case 2: A decimal with repeating digits and leading zeros

• Write the number formed by the repeating digit/s in the numerator.
• In the denominator, write as many 9s as the number of repeating digits in the
decimal. (If there is only one digit that repeats, use 9; If there are two digits that
repeat, use 99 and if there are three digits that repeat, use 999, etc.) Count the
number of leading zeros after the decimal point and affix them after the 9s in the
denominator.
• Simplify, if needed.

 MATHEMATICS7-QUARTER1-WEEK4
Case 3: A decimal with repeating and non-repeating part
• Express the given as the sum of two decimals such that the first is a terminating
decimal and the second is a repeating decimal with leading zeros (as in case 2)
• Write the decimals in fraction form and add.
• Simplify, if needed.
Since 0. ̅27
̅̅̅ is a decimal with repeating digits only, it falls under Case 1.
Step1: The numerator is 27 because it is the number formed by the repeating digits.
Step2: The denominator is 99 because there are two digits that repeat. The fraction
27
formed is .
99
27
Step3: Simplify . (The GCF of 27 and 99 is 9)
