Happy Math Monday! I do not know if you re-call, but last week I blogged to you about turning a decimal into a fraction, well this blog is about the opposite, turning a fraction into a decimal It is very simple. I learned this a long time ago; probably in fourth grade. The first step that you do is take your fraction and divide the numerator into the denominator It is very easy for example: 2/4. I would divide 2 by four and get 0.5. Guess what! That is your answer You are finished, however it might take you longer to divide a huge number like 1235/2345. This is one of my favorite topic in math, because it is not that hard.
I hope that you have learned something from this blog. Just remember, the top one is the numerator and the bottom one is the denominator This is kind of hard to remember, but a helpful way to earn this is prberably thinking about November, December, because we all know November goes before December. If you have any other helpful ways to memorize this please let me know! If you still need help, click the link below. Until next blog post!
This blog will tell you two of my favorite ways to turn a decimal into a fraction. The first way is to put a on under the decimal then fill the rest of the numbers into 0. For example: .775 turns into 775/1000. That is all you have to do. I prefere this way bettre that any other way. The next way is to put zeros afterall the numbers, but make sure to put an extra one. For example: .345 turns into 345/1000. Notice that instead of putting three zeros, I put four. This makes more sense than having 345/100. Another example: .10 = 100. These two way are the same, but like I saud before I prefer the first way more better. If you have another way of turning decimals into a fraction, please let me know!
This blog has been about the two ways that I prefer to turn a decimal to a fraction. They are almost the same method. Just remember .123 turns into 123/1000. We learned this a while back in 5th grade,so you should be able to pick this lesson up right away. If you still are on the line of getting this lesson click on the link below. Did you understand this lesson? If you did. I would love to hear what you thought of this blog. Don't forget to comment.
Todays blog prompt is which one would I use ratio or percentage to charge someone if they came to my restaurant. First of all, I do not own a restaurant. This is just asking, which one would I pick. I would choose percentage to charge my customers, because it is more easier to understand rather than a ratio. I like percentage, because it is very straight forward other than ratio. It also makes a discount look great. If you think about it would you like to see that you saved 50% or 5:10.
I think it looks more better as a percent, that way I know what or how much percent I am being charged.
What do you think? Do you prefer percentage or ratio? I think it is fun running a pretend restaurant, because you are the owner, and you get to hire people to help you work. If you don't know what a percent or a ratio is click the links below.
Once again, I would choose percent if I owned a restaurant, This is a simple task to do. Percents and ratios are very easy,but require a lot of work. Please click the links below to learn more about them. Just remeber a ratio is 5:7, and a perent looks like this 70%.
