CONVERTING FRACTIONS TO
DECIMALS

There are two ways to convert fractions to decimals:

(i) Convert first the fraction to an equivalent fraction

whose denominator is a power of then convert to decimal.
Examples:

1.½ = 5/10 hence , ½ = 0.5

=
 (ii)Perform the usual long division wherein the
numerator is the dividend and the denominator is
the divisor.  
 
PARTS OF A FRACTIONS
 ●
Fraction can be converted into
decimal numbers just by dividing the
numerator from the denominator.

EXAMPLES:

½ = I divided by 2 = 0.5
 3 7/8 = 3.875

¾ = 3 divided by 4 ( ignore the whole number

and divide the numerator
= 0.75 by the denominator : 7
divided by 8 = 0.875 + 3 =
3.875)
NOTE:

Some numerators cannot evenly divide

by the denominator 2/3 for example, if
you divide three into two, you get
0.666666….. going on forever. These
‘recurring decimals” are usually rounded
off to the nearest tenth (0.17), hundredth
(0.67) or thousand (0.667).
CONVERTING
DECIMALS TO
FRACTIONS
 The digits to the right of the decimal point in a
decimal number are already a fraction, since those
place values represents tenths, hundredths,
thousandths, and so on. All you really need to do is
cancel the fraction down to simplify it.
Example

12.5 is 12 5/10 which can be canceled to 12 ½

3.125 is 3 125/1000 which can be canceled 3 1/8

(i) To convert a terminating decimal to a fraction, apply the

concept of place value .

Examples: 1.) 0.23 = 23/100

2.) 4.506 = 4 506/1000
CONVERTING DECIMALS
TO PERCENTAGES
Rule: Multiply the decimal by
100%. This is the equivalent to
moving the decimal point two
places right to the right and
appending the % sign.
Examples:
0.35 = 35%
0.175 = 17.5%
1.2 = 120%
0.948 = 94.8 %
0.3 = 30 % (adds a zero, so you can move the decimal point two
places.)
A percent which means “per hundred” is a representation of a
fraction whose denominator is 100. Thus, expressing a number in
percent is like comparing it with 100.

4.75 = 475% (note that a whole number represents 100 %.)

 CONVERTING
PERCENTAGES TO
DECIMALS
Percentages are always expressed in hundredths.
So you can write them in terms of place value. For
example, 75% is 75/100, 0.75

Rule: Divide the percent by 100%. This is

equivalent to moving the decimal point
two places to the left and dropping off the
% sign
Examples:

1 75% = .75

2 1.468% = .01468

3 239% = 2.39

SOLVING REAL-LIFE
PROBLEMS
INVOLVING FRACTIONS,
DECIMALS AND PERCENTAGE
STEPS IN SOLVING WORLD PROBLEM:

1. Read the Problem out loud to yourself

Learners have a tendency to rush through every

problem due to the time given by the teacher for a
particular problem. If the learner does not know what
the problem is asking, then they cannot solve the
problem correctly. When the learner reads the problem
aloud, they are saying and hearing problem. They can
form a clearer picture in their head, and they are more
prepared to solve it.
2. Draw a Picture

Learners need to visualize a problem to

understand it, especially younger
learners. As they get older, they can start
to visualize in their head but a young age
they should be drawing out a picture that
explains to hem what is the problem all
about. The picture should take account all
of the aspects of the problem.
3. Think “what do I need to find?”

Some word problems straightforward with their

questions. It can be simple as “Molly has two
dogs, Jason has three. How many dogs do
Molly and Jason have together?” There are
also problems that you need to think about
before you can solve it.
4. List what is given
It is always good to start with listing the things you
know. If you try to solve the problem without knowing
what tools you are given to solve it, you will not get the
right answer. Think about the last time you tried to fill in
the blanks are assume an answer without knowing all
the facts. Your outcome probably did not turn out well.
It is for this reason that we need to list what is given
before any problem. You should write it down at the tip
or side of the scrap paper so they always haves it as a
reference when doing the problem.
5. Find the keywords
Every word problem has key words to look out for that tells you what operation to do.
As you get more practice with word problems, finding the keywords will get easier. Here
are some of the most popular key words for word problems:

Operation Key words

Addition “all together”, “both”, “combined”, “Total” ,

“additional”
Subtraction “decrease”, “difference”, “fewer”, “how many
more”, “how much greater”, “have left” “remain”
Multiplication “doubled/tripled”, “each”, “equal groups”, “in al”,
“of”, “per”, “total”
Division “equal parts”, split between”, “separated”,
“percent”
6. Solve
The next step to do is solve
the problem using the
appropriate operation from
the above table.
7. Check your work
The last step of course is to check your work by seeing
if the answer fits the questioned asked. Mathematically,
we can check our work by doing the opposite of
whatever operation we used.

Illustrative Examples:

Example 1. The “incense mosquito killer” costs P 25.00. If the profit is

40%, what should be the selling price of the said mosquito killer?
Solution:
Given:
the cost of the “incense mosquito killer” is P25.00

If the profit is 40%,

then the selling price is 140% of the original price.

That is,
Selling price = 140% of original price
= (1.4) (25)
= P 35.00
Example 2.

Glacy was asked to buy pots for her mother’s new

plants. She was given P160.00 to buy pots that cost
P25.00 each. How many pots can Glacy buy from
the money that she has?
Solution:

Given: P160.00 to buy pots that can cost

P25.00 each

Then, we have

160/25 = 6.4
Example 3.

Glazer tutors his friends and earned P155.00 for

every 2 hours. If he spent five and one-half hours
in tutoring, how much should he earn?
Solution:

Given: P155.00 for every 2 hours that is, P77.50 per hour.

Thus,

(77.5) (5.5)

= 426.25
