Fraction and Decimal Equivalents in Art Project

Due Date: November 17, 2017

1. On scrap paper, think of a design or picture to draw using blocks of color on a 10 x 10
grid. The picture can be of something, abstract, your initials, or anything you want.
All designs must have 4 different colors.

2. Using your grid paper, create your artwork.

3. Note the colors used on the grid in the first column of the table.

4. Calculate the fraction of each color used. There are 100 squares in the 10 x 10 grid.

Example: if you used 20 squares of blue, your fraction would be .

5. If your fraction can be reduced, put the reduced fraction in the third column.

6. Calculate the decimal of each color used.
Example: if you used 20 squares of blue, your decimal would be 0.20

7. Calculate the dollar equivalent of each color used.
Example: if you used 20 squares of blue, your dollar equivalent would be $0.20

8. On the bottom of the paper, explain in your own words how to change a fraction to a
decimal. Give an example using one of your colors.

Bonus: (Worth 10 additional points)

Research how to change a decimal into a percentage. Write in your own words how to convert
decimals to percentages. Record the percentage for each of the four colors shown in the grid.
