Identify which of the following is an example
of fractions, decimals or percentage
1. Telling Time
2. Budgeting money
3. Discounts
4. Comparing prices of same item in a grocery
store(example which is cheaper a kilo of hot-
dogs worth 60 php or 2 kilo of hotdogs
worth 100 php)
5. Slicing a portion of a cake or pizza

Fraction

is a number composed of numerator

and denominator, both which are
integers. Numerator and denominator

Types of Fractions
There are three (3) types of fractions, namely:
 Proper Fractions – These are fractions whose numerator is less than its
denominator. The following are proper fractions:

, , ,
 Improper Fractions – These are fractions whose numerator is greater than or
equal to its denominator. The following are improper fractions:

, ,
Types of Fractions

 Mixed Numbers – These are numbers that consist of a whole number and a fraction.
The following are mixed numbers:

(read as three and one-thirds), (read as one and one-half)

Note: A mixed number is a sum of a whole number and a fraction. Example: 31⁄3 = 3 + 1⁄3.
Decimals

is a number written in dec-

imal notation. The integer and
fraction parts of a decimal
number are separated using a
decimal point.
Percentage

is a number that represents a

number of parts per hundred.
Every percentage has a percent
sign (%) attach to it.
Converting Fractions to Decimals
1. How to Convert Fraction to Decimal
There are two ways on how to convert fractions to decimals:
(i) First, convert the fraction to an equivalent fraction whose denominator is
a power of 10. Then, convert it to decimal.
Examples:

(ii) Perform the usual long division wherein the numerator is the dividend
and the denominator is the divisor.
From previous examples, we have

2. How to Convert Decimal to Percent
 
Rule : Multiply the decimal by 100% . This is equivalent to
moving the decimal point two places to the right and appending
the % sign.
Examples:
1. 0.55 = 55%
2. 0.275 = 27.5%
3. 1.6 = 160%

1. 0.125 = 12.5%

2. 1.712 = 17.12%

3. How to Convert Percent to Fraction
 
Rule: Divide the given percentage by 100% and simplify to the
lowest term.
Examples:

4. How to Convert Fraction to Percent
 
Rule: First, convert the fraction to decimal by applying #1. Then,
convert the decimal to percent by applying #2.

5. How to Convert Percent to Decimal
 
Rule: Divide the percent by 100% . This is equivalent to moving
the decimal point two places to the left and dropping the % sign.
Examples:
1. 25% = .25
2. 8.465% = .08465

6. How to Convert Decimal to Fraction
(i) To convert a terminating decimal to a fraction, apply the concept of place
value.
Examples:

(ii) To convert a repeating decimal to a fraction, refer to the examples below.
Examples:
1. Convert the repeating decimal 0.3 = 0.33333… to a fraction.
Solution: Let x = 0. (multiply the equation by 10)
10x = 3.
- x = 0.
9x = 3
x= Therefore, =
