1) Rational numbers can be expressed as decimals or mixed numbers. 2) Decimals can be changed to mixed numbers by dividing the decimal by the place value of the last digit and writing the remainder over the denominator. 3) Mixed numbers can be changed to decimals by writing the whole number plus the fraction portion divided by the denominator.

10 100 1000

a) 5.7 b) 4.9 c) 8.58 d) 9.27


e) 3.333 f) 15.417 g) 4.01 h) 0.0004

4 Change the following mixed numbers to a decimal:


8 7 35
5 = 5.8 2 = 2.07 40 = 40.035
10 100 1000

e) 6 f) 72 g) 5 h) 7
10 100 100 1000

a If b is not a prime number (other than 2 or 5) then a Terminating decimal

b If b has a prime factor (other than 2 or 5) then a Recurring decimal

Exercise 6.4
Change the following fractions to a decimal:
3
= 0.6 Terminating decimal
5
Recurring decimals repeat the same sequence
2
= 0.22222222.. without stopping.
9 It is sometimes useful to write a line over the
= 0.2
repeated sequence.
9 Some decimals take a long time to recur:
= 0.8181818181... 5
11 = 0.714285714285714285714285...
= 0.81 7
