Lesson 1 Fractions, Decimals and Percent

This lesson introduces fractions, decimals, and percentages by defining each concept and providing examples, noting that a fraction is a part of a whole number written as a numerator over a denominator, a decimal represents a fraction with a denominator that is a multiple of 10, and a percent expresses a number as a fraction of 100; it then poses questions on converting between fractions, decimals, and percentages before assigning an activity to complete a table with equivalent values.

buying and selling, computing gross and net earnings, overtime and
business data presentation, analysis and interpretation. The use of
computer and software applications for computation and data
presentation is encouraged.
RECALL.

Prime number – a positive integer (except 1) whose factors are ONLY _____________________
 Examples:

Composite number– a positive integer (except 1) which can be expressed as a product of


two or more positive integers, i. e., it has other factors besides 1 and itself
 Examples: 28, 39, 100

Relatively prime numbers – positive integers which do not have common prime factors
 Examples: 6 and 35, 4 and 121
A fraction is a part of a whole number, and a way to
split up a number into equal parts. It is written as the
number of equal parts being counted, called the
numerator, over the number of parts in the whole,
called the denominator.

A fraction is a ratio of integers, i.e. , where a and b are


integers and b ≠ 0. The fraction is undefined if denominator
is zero and numerator is non-zero; indeterminate, if both
numerator and denominator are zeros.
A decimal is a representation of a fraction whose
denominator is a multiple of 10.
FRACTION DECIMAL PERCENT
2/3 _______ _______
_______ 0.121212… _______

A percent which means “per hundred” is a
representation of a fraction whose denominator is

comparing it with 100.
