This math chapter workbook on "Fractions and Decimals," reviews basic fraction concepts, including understanding numerators and denominators, equivalent fractions, and simplifying fractions. Students practice converting between improper fractions and mixed numbers. Practice is provided to convert between fractions and decimals and vice versa. The chapter also emphasizes real-life applications and problem-solving skills.
A problem could ask students to convert the fraction 3/4 to a decimal by dividing the numerator by the denominator, resulting in 0.75. Another example is comparing 0.6 and 2/3 by converting 2/3 to a decimal, giving approximately 0.666, thus determining that 2/3 is greater than 0.6. Students could also practice adding fractions like 1/2 and 1/3 by finding a common denominator (6), resulting in 3/6 + 2/6 = 5/6.
