		Egyptian Fractions ^Votes:0 Egyptian Fractions Nowadays, we usually write non-integer numbers either as fractions (2/7) or decimals (0.285714). The floating point representation used in computers is another representation very similar to decimals. But the ancient Egyptians (as far as we can tell from the documents now surviving) used a number system based on unit fractions : fractions with one in the numerator. This idea let them represent numbers like 1/7 easily enough; other numbers such as 2/7 were represented as sums of unit fractions (e.g. 2/7 = 1/4 +1/28). Further, the same fraction could not be used twice (so 2/7 = 1/7 + 1/7 is not allowed). We call a formula representing a sum of distinct unit fractions an Egyptian fraction . This notation is cumbersome and difficult to compute with, so the Egyptian scribes m Read More Go to Site

		MathSteps: Grade 3: Addition and Subtraction of Fractions: What Is It? ^Votes:0 Addition and Subtraction of Fractions If a candy bar is broken into two parts to share, it is incorrect for you to say, "I want the bigger half." If a candy bar is truly broken into two halves, then both parts would be equal. One half of the candy bar combined with the other half would equal the whole candy bar. The fraction means one of two equal parts. The 1 is the numerator, and the 2 is the denominator of the fraction. Before computing with fractions, it's important to understand the meanings of the numerator and denominator of a fraction. Figure 1 shows a rectangle divided into four equal parts. Figure 1 Figure 2 displays three of the four parts shaded. The fraction represents three of four equal parts shaded. The 3, or numerator, tells you how many parts are shaded, while the 4, or d Read More Go to Site

		Repeating decimals ^Votes:0 Subject: repeating decimals Mary O'Sullivan middle teacher I understand that with repeating decimals (those with a pattern), the number of digits repeated is put into fraction form with the same number of 9's ex. 0.4444 = 4/9 0.145145145 = 145/999 How can I explain why this is so? Some inquisitive 8th graders are anxious to find out! Thanks Hi Mary, Suppose that the number you have is 0.4444... then 10 times this number is 4.4444... Hence subtracting the number from 10 times itself gives 9 times the number. But 4.444... - 0.444... = 4. Thus 9 times the number is 4 and hence the number is 4/9. Th second example is similar. I don't know if your students have seen any algebra but it is easier to say with some algebraic notation. if x = 0.145145145... then 1000x = 145.145145... Thus 1000x - x Read More Go to Site

		Review of Basic Math -- Percentages and Growth Rates Kevin Foster ^Votes:0 Review of Basic Math -- Percentages and Growth Rates Kevin R Foster , City College of New York Percent: Remember that a percent is just a convenient way of writing a decimal. So 15% is really the number 0.15, 99% is 0.99, and 150% is 1.50. I assume you know this, but sometimes it can get confusing. For instance, we might want to find 10% of 10%. We CAN NOT just multiply 1010, get 100, and leave that as the answer! Rather we first convert them to decimals and then multiply: so 0.10 0.10 = 0.01 = 1%. Examples : (click on the ? to get the answers). 30%7% + 70%5% = ? 50%10% + 50%3% = ? Percentage Change (Growth Rate): Consider GDP in the Great Depression.
