DIFFERENT METHODS FOR CONVERTING SOLUTIONS

TASK 1 Change the denominator to a power of 10

9 45 31 62 7 14 1 4
= = = =
20 100 50 100 500 1000 25 000 100000
= 0.45 = 0.62 = 0.014 = 0.00004
(Multiply numerator (Multiply numerator (Multiply numerator (Multiply numerator
and denominator by 5.) and denominator by 2.) and denominator by 2.) and denominator by 4.)

TASK 2 Divide the numerator by the denominator

15 19 123
= 0.9375 = 0.475 = 0.76875
16 40 160

TASK 3 Memorise common conversions

3 4 1 1
= 0.75 = 0.8 = 0.025 = 0.005
4 5 40 200
