2 & 3/4 ) 11/4
10 & 1/2 ) 21/2
.3) 3/10
-.16) -4/ 25
3.17) 3 & 17 /100
.3 repeating ) YES
.16 repeating) 1/ 6
-1.2 repeating ) YES!
If a decimal does not terminate or repeat is is not a rational number
Explanation:
For 4)
4/1 = 12/x
Ask yourself, how do i get from 4 to 12?
Multiply by 3! HOWEVER, whats done to the numerator MUST be done to the denominator!
4/1 * 3/3 = 12/3
For -10 )
-10/1 = -20/2
Simplify -20/2!
Divide -20 by 2 = -10
-10/1 = -10/1 YES!
For 0/10 )
When you have ZERO tenths, what does that equal? Zero!
For 2 & 3/4ths )
To change to an improper fraction, multiply the 2 by the denominator and add that to the numerator. Put that over the original denominator
(2*4 +3) / 4
8+3 / 4 = 11/4
For 10 & 1/2 )
Repeat what you did for 2& 3/4ths!
(10*2+1)/2
20+1/2
21/2
