In class, p7 have been learning to convert fractions, decimals and percentages, we have been focusing mainly on fractions and decimals. Fun Fact: If in a decimal, a number is repeated lots of times, like 1/3 is 0.33333333 etc. you would write 0.3 with a º above the 3.
We have learned lots more, like :
1/4 is 0.25 so 2/4 would be 0.5 you would keep doubling until you got to 4/4 which is 1.00
1/2 is 0.5 which is equivalent to 2/4
1/5 is 0.2 so 2/5 would be 0.4 .
1/6 would be 0.166
1/10 would be 0.1 because there is 10 10ths in 1
We have also been learning to convert percentages to decimals for example:
20% as a decimal is 0.2 as a fraction is 1/4
25% as a decimal is 0.25 as a fraction is 1/5
50% as a decimal is 0.5 as a fraction is 1/2
75% as a decimal is 0.75 as a fraction is 3/4
80% as a decimal is 0.8 as a fraction is 4/5
100% as a decimal is 1.0 as a fraction is 1/1
These are just some of the vast array of fractions, decimals and percentages in the known world. Hope you found this intreaging and interesting. hopefully you have learned something new.
