Fractions/Percentages/Decimals
Different names of the same function

Fractions
A fraction is a part of a whole. If try to slice a pizza, we will get fractions:

1/

1/

3/

(One-Half)

(One-Quarter)

(Three-Eighths)

The number in fractions tells how many slices we have (Numerator) and the number in the denominator tells us the number of slices the pizza was cut into (Denominator).

Solve: Ahmed gives 1/4th his salary to his mother and his salary is 5000 LE. Ahmed also deposits 1/2 of his remaining salary (after giving 1/4th to his mother) in the bank, how much money does he have left?

20

Percents
In mathematics, we express something by percentage - expressing a number as a fractions of 100 (per cent meaning "per hundred").

For example, 47% (read as "forty seven percent") equal to 47 / 100.

Solve: Karim & Alias Report cards are given below. Calculate their percentage for each of the subject and their overall percentage. Who has scored the highest overall percentage?

Decimals
Zero and the other countable numbers like (1,2,3,...) make up the set of whole numbers. However every number is not a whole number. For e.g. 45,567.256 Forty five thousand five hundred and sixty seven point two five six Our decimal system allows us to express all types of numbers , using something called a decimal point. Rounding Off: Rounding off to two digits: if the number after the second digit (after the decimal) is 5 or greater than 5 then you add 1 to the second digit However, if the number after the second digit (after the decimal) is less than 5 then you leave it as it is For example: 23.467 = 23.47 and 4456.3244 = 4456.32 Solve: Calculate & round off to two digits: 345/126 = 9224/1705 = 333.569/2=

22

Fractions, Decimals and Percents

Operation Explanation
Move the decimal point 2 places to the right and add a percent (%) sign.

Example

Convert a decimal to a percent

.123 = 12.3%

Convert a percent to a decimal

Move the decimal point 2 places to the left.

5% = .05

Convert a fraction to a decimal

Divide the numerator by the denominator

1/8 = .125

Convert a percent to a fraction

First turn the number into a decimal. Then divide that by 10,100 or 1000 depending on the 18% = .18 = 18/100 = 9/50 number of digits after the decimal

23

More Examples
Conversion of decimal to fractions
45.2 = 452/10 (because after decimal there is one digit) 45.25 = 4525/100 (because after decimal there are two digits) 45.256 = 45256/1000 (because after decimal there are three digits) 0.025 = 25/1000

Conversion of Fraction to Decimal

456/10 = 45.6 2/10 = 0.2 456/100 = 4.56 2/100 = 0.02 456/1000 = 0.456 2/1000 = 0.002

BODMAS Rule
Tool to crack long calculations!

BODMAS
Think what is the answer to 2 + 3 x 5 is?
Is it (2 + 3) x 5 = 5 x 5 = 25 ? or 2 + (3 x 5) = 2 + 15 = 17 ?

BODMAS is a rule which enables us to know exactly the right order of solving the mathematical question. If we follow the rule it gives us rules to follow so that we will always get to the right answer: B rackets O rder D ivision M ultiplication A ddition S ubtraction

27

BODMAS-Solved Examples
Here's an example based on the BODMAS rule : The answer can be explained with a calculator which would give to the calculation 5 + 80/10 x (1 + 2)2 - 1 according to the BODMAS rules. Brackets gives 5 + 80/10 x (3)2 - 1 Order gives 5 + 80/10 x 9 - 1 Division gives 5 + 8 x 9 - 1 Multiplication gives 5 + 72 - 1 Addition gives 77 - 1 Subtraction gives 76 The answer is 76

Solve: 1. 7+5/10*(46-22) 2. 86/42-(96*7)+42

Ratios & Proportions

Ratios: Ratios are used to make comparisons between two things/items. The numbers indicating the two things are separated using a : (colon). For example: Comparing the number of circles to the number of triangles shown below, the ratio would be 4:3

In 2001, 81 men enrolled in the English department at our university while 120 women enrolled. What is ratio of men is to women enrollment? Men: women = 81:120, which can be further simplified to (81/108) 3/4 or 3:4 However, though the ratio is 3:4 , the original numbers are larger and this must be kept in mind when dealing with ratios

35

Proportions
Proportions or Equal Ratios: Ratios are in proportion when the corresponding fractions are equal To check if two ratios are equal, divide the numerator by the denominator for each ratio. If the quotients are equal, then the ratios are equal. Is the ratio 5:15 equal to the ratio 25:100? Divide both, the quotients are not equal. Therefore, these two ratios are not equal. Example of equal ratios: 4:20 = 2:10 = 20:100 = 1:5 Example - Let us make an addition to the ratio example. In 2002, 159 men enrolled in the English department and if the ratio of men to women was the same is the year 2001, how many women enrolled? 2001 - Men: women ratio in = 3:4 2002 Men: women = 3:4 = 159: x 3/4 = 159/x Cross multiply the two fractions, 3x = 159*4 x = 636/3 = 212 Thus the number of women who enrolled in 2001 was 212

Tips to solve questions

Question Find out Nishath & Rizwans division of ancestral money of LE 2000, in a ratio of 3:2 Solution: 1. add the numbers in the ratio 2. find the value of 1 part, 3. Calculate by multiplying the 1 part value with appropriate number in the ratio Let us apply it to the question above: 1. Add - 3 + 2 = 5 2. Value of 1 part = LE 2000/5 = LE 400 3. Nishaths Share = 3 * 400 = LE1200 & Rizwans Share = 2 * 400 = LE 800 (A quick check, sum of their share is LE 2000 Question The price of 10 g Vanilla is 50 Piastras & 50 g is LE 2.50, are they proportional? Solution Write the ratio for each comparison: 10g:50P & 50g:LE 2.50 Convert the units to equate: 10g:50P & 50g: 250 P (100P = LE 1) Ratio for each: 10:50 & 50:250 Simplify: 1:5 & 1:5, since they are equal They are proportional

Median
The median is the middle of a number distribution: half the scores are above the median and half are below the median. Computation of Median Arrange the given data in ascending (increasing) or descending (decreasing) order When the data set is odd, the median is simply the middle number. For example, the median of 2, 4, and 7 is 4. When the data set is even, the median is the mean of the two middle numbers. For example: The median of : 1,2,6,8, is (2+6)/2=4 Solve: Calculate the median of the following data: 1. 22,56,26,34,42,38,46,52 2. 101,123,111,113,125,107,109

41

Mode
The mode is the value that occurs the most frequently in a data set. Computation of Mode Example:15,20,26,22,18,20,21,20,25,24,20,18,17,20,14,20,18 14 1 time 15 1 time 17 1 time 18 3 times 20 6 times 21,22,24,25,26 1 time each Mode = 20 (highest number of repetitions) Solve: Find the mode in the below data: 1. 11,13,13,15,17,23,11,13,28,29,13,11,13,27,28,2315 2. 1,7,2,2,3,6,7,1,9,4,4,1,1,7,1,9,3,5,1,2,8,9,1,2,1,9,1,4

Selling Price/Cost Price/Profit & Loss

Cost Price the price at which one buys the item Selling Price the price at which one sells the item Profit If the selling price is greater than the cost price, profit is made Profit = S.P C.P Loss If the cost price is greater than the selling price, loss is made Loss = C.P S.P Loss or Profit Percentage is calculated on the Cost Price: Profit Percentage = (profit /C.P) * 100 Loss Percentage = (loss / C.P) * 100 The cost price of a lamp is LE 500 and sold for LE 650. What is the Profit or Loss Percentage ?
