1. Simplifying Fractions
To write a fraction in simplest form or lowest terms follow these two steps:
1 – Find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of the numerator and denominator.
2 – Divide both the numerator and the denominator by the GCF.
Example: – 1,2,3,4,6, ÷ 6 = 2
– 1,2,3,6,9, ÷ 6 = 3

2. Write each fraction in simplest form

5. Improper Fractions & Mixed Numbers
An improper fraction is a fraction in which the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator. Example: 13/5 A mixed number is a number written as a whole number and a fraction. Example: 1 3/8

6. Improper Fractions & Mixed Numbers
Write 13/ 5 as a mixed number.
Since 13/5 means 13 ÷ 5 , use division to change an improper fraction to a mixed number.
Write 2 3/5 as an improper fraction.
Multiply the denominator by the whole number and add the numerator.
Write the sum over the denominator.
2 3/5 (5x2 = = 13) 13/5

7. Write each mixed number as an improper fraction

9. FRACTIONS TO DECIMALS TO CHANGE A FRACTION TO A DECIMAL YOU
DIVIDE THE NUMERATOR BY THE DENOMINATOR. TO DO THIS – YOU HAVE TO ADD A DECIMAL POINT AND ZEROS.
EXAMPLE:
Numerator
Denominator 8

10. FRACTIONS TO DECIMALS
Write each fraction as a decimal. 1.) 3/5 = 2.) 7/21 = 3.) 1/5 = 4.) 9/20 = 5.) 1 4/15 = 6.) 7/8 =
7.) 7/20 =
8.) 5/6 =
9.) 3/25 =
10.) 1/4 =
11.) 5/8 =
12.) /25 =

11. FRACTIONS TO DECIMALS HOMEWORK
WRITE THE FOLLOWING FRACTIONS
AS DECIMALS:
5/9
7/10
4/5 /5

12. TAKE NOTES!!!! DECIMAL PLACE VALUE

13. DECIMALS TO FRACTIONS
TO CHANGE A DECIMAL TO A FRACTION YOU REMOVE THE DECIMAL POINT AND WRITE THE NUMBER AS THE NUMERATOR.
THE DENOMINATOR IS A MULTIPLE OF 10, DEPENDING ON THE PLACE VALUE OF THE LAST DIGIT.
WRITE THE FRACTION AND SIMPLIFY IT TO IT’S LOWEST TERMS.
EXAMPLE: O = 75 = 3

14. DECIMALS TO FRACTIONS
Write each decimal as a fraction and write it in simplest form. 1.) .8 = 2.) .35 = 3.) .03 = 4.) .15 = 5.) 6.72 = 6.) .21 =
7.) 2.5 =
8.) =
9.) .25 =
10.) .65 =
11.) =
12.) =

15. PERCENTS TO FRACTIONS & DECIMALS
PERCENT MEANS “OUT OF 100”
PERCENTS CAN BE WRITTEN AS FRACTIONS WITH DENOMINATORS OF THEY CAN ALSO BE WRITTEN AS DECIMALS.
BELOW ARE THREE WAYS TO WRITE THE SAME NUMBER:
3 % = 3/100 = 0.03
10% = 1/10 = 0.10
20% = 1/5 = 0.2
75% = ¾ = 0.75

16. FRACTIONS/DECIMALS TO PERCENTS
TO CONVERT(CHANGE) A DECIMAL TO A PERCENT – YOU MOVE THE DECIMAL POINT TWO PLACES TO THE RIGHT. EXAMPLE: 0.45 = 45% 0.04 = 4% 0.2 = 20% TO CONVERT (CHANGE) A FRACTION TO A PERCENT – FIRST MAKE THE FRACTION A DECIMAL – THEN CONVERT THE DECIMAL TO A PERCENT. EXAMPLE = 9/20 = 0.45 = 45%
