CONVERTING DECIMALS TO FRACTION



Converting decimals into fractions is really simple.
Just follow my steps....

Let's try converting this number to fractions.
0.8 repeating.

0.8 can be shown as what ever you like. But I'll use x.

x=0.8 repeating.

Step 1.
Convert the decimal into a whole number and multiply it by ten because it's in the tenth place.


Step 2.
Subtract the 8.8 to the 0.8.

Step 3: Get rid of the decimal.
To do that you need to divide 9x to 9.

Step 4. Put the 9 below the 8.

Step 5. Try to convert it into a smaller fraction.












Now lets try to convert this decimal number to a fraction.


X=0.08 repeating.

Step 1.
Convert the decimal into a whole number and multiply it by one hundred because it's in the hundredth's place.


Step 2.
Subtract 8.88 repeating to 0.08

Step 3.

Get rid of the decimal.
To do that you need to divide 99 x to 99 and whatever you do to one side you do it to 8.8 too.

Step 4. Convert it into a whole number
8.8 x 10
99 x10

Step 5.

x= 88 over 990...CONVERT!!! 8 over 90 is the answer. So..... x=8 over 90.

Celdrick's Scribepost For September 23

Today in class, we played the card game for atleast 5 minutes and we did multiplying.
After that we had to figure out what was the order of rotation of a cube. Most of us said that the rotation of a cube has 4,8,16, and 24. One of the answer is right but we just didn't know how to explain it. So when Mr.B told us the answer...we all figured out how the answer is 8. So I'm gonna show you how its 8.






You can rotate the cube going to the right.So the cube can be rotated 4 times.











Then we have to rotate 4 times going up.



So 4+4=8 but we don't really know if we can rotate it in a different way...



Next...we had to figure out how many lines of symmetry there are in a cube. The answer is 12 and I'll show you how we got it. Since there's 4 lines of symmetries in a square...all you have to do is multiply it by 3 because of the front and back (1st group) the sides (2nd group) and top and bottom (3rd group) so there are 12 lines of symmetries in a cube.



The last thing we did was to figure out the surface area of a cube.
The formula is bxhx6.
The net was something like this.




All sides are 3 cm because all sides are equal.










So the answer is:






Sorry my computer won't let me add colour so yea....hope you liked it and don't forget your homework......
