Fractions, Decimals, Percents

In class today we learned that a

Fraction- is out of any whole #
e.g 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 123/219

Decimal- is out of 1
e.g 0.5/1, 0.1/1, 0.001/1, 0.123/1, 0.2/1

Percent- is out of 100
e.g 50% 2% 25%
50/100 2/100 25/100

% means /100



Today we had to find out what 50% out of 10 was, 77% of 17, and 62.5% 24



























































For the rest of the class we worked on our textbooks pages 129-131

Our homework for today is doing our homework booklets pages 40-41

Order of Operations

B- brackets
E- exponents
D- division
M- multiplication
A- addition
S- subtraction

First you have to see if you have any brackets on in you question, you should add them together.
Next see if you have any exponents in your question, you should also add them together.
Then see if you have any division or multiplication in your question, start from left to right, which ever one comes up first.
Next see if you have any addition or subtraction, you also start from left to right, which ever one comes first.

E.g

2x (4+8) ÷ 2-1 =
\ /
2x 12 ÷ 2-1=
\ /
24 ÷ 2-1 =
\ /
12 -1 =
11
