6. Everyday Use of Fractions and Decimals
How do we use fractions and decimals in our everyday life?
Everyday Use of Fractions and Decimals
All our numbers are called decimal numbers because decimal means 10, and our number system is based on tens. What do you think I mean when I say that our number system is based on tens?
Numbers (or parts of numbers) less than 1 can also be written in this system.
You’re very use to writing numbers that are less than 1, such as ½ or ¾ by using fractions. You probably know that you can also write numbers less than 1 by using a decimal point in our base-ten system. These numbers are like fractions: they identify quantities that are between whole numbers. I know that you have seen these numbers in various places. Does anyone know how to say or write any of these numbers?
What do you know about the values of these numbers? What fraction are they equal to? Are they more than or less than 1?
0.5, 1.5, 0.25

Reviewing Decimals
Let’s use this blank square to represent one WHOLE. For example, one WHOLE candy bar.
This grid below shows the same WHOLE divided into EQUAL parts.
Let’s say I shade in ONE part. What part have I shaded in? How would you write this amount?
The place to the right of the decimal point is for TENTHS. If there is a 1 in that place, it means ONE TENTH.
I can write it with a zero in the ones place to show that there are NO WHOLE numbers, or I can just with the decimal point followed by a . Both of these are ways to write one tenth.
0.1 .1
