  1. Decimals and Fractions Day 3

  2. Place Value Let’s look at position after the decimal to help us do some rounding!

  3. Rounding and Estimating • When rounding a decimal you must look at the number to the RIGHT of the place value to which you are going to round. • If that number if 5 or greater, then you must raise the number by one in the position to which you are trying to round.

  4. Round 73.410 to the nearest whole number. 7 3 . 4 1 0 Round 2145.721 to the nearest whole number. 2 1 4 5 . 7 2 1 Example “7” IS greater than 5 so you must change the “5” to a “6.” “4” is NOT greater Than 5 so no Change is necessary To the “3.” A: 2146 A: 73

  5. Round 36.480 to the nearest tenth. 3 6 . 4 8 0 Round 9641.702 to the nearest hundredth. 9 6 4 1 . 7 0 2 Example Not greater than 5! Greater than 5! A: 9641.70 A: 36.5

  6. Round 10.4803 to the nearest thousandth. 1 0 . 4 8 0 3 Round $55.768 to the nearest cent. $ 5 5 . 7 6 8 Example Greater than 5! Not greater than 5! A: $55.77 A: 10.480

  7. Whole Number Tenth Hundredth Thousandth Ten Thousandth 59 59.0 58.97 58.974 58.9736 You Try: Round 58.97360 to the nearest

  8. Comparing Decimals

  9. Using Models – A Graphical Approach • If you are comparing tenths to hundredths, you can use a tenths grid and a hundredths grid. Here, you can see that 0.4 is greater than 0.36.

  10. Another Way….. • Line up the numbers vertically by the decimal point. • Add “0” to fill in any missing spaces. • Compare from left to right.

  11. Let’s put these numbers in order:12.5, 12.24, 11.96, 12.36 12 . 5 0 After 0’s have been added to give the same number of decimal places after the decimal, you can compare easier by “dropping” the decimal. BUT, remember to add the decimal back after you decide the correct order. Fill in the missing space with a zero. 12 . 24 11 . 96 12 . 36 11.96 < 12.24 < 12.36 < 12.5

  12. You Try: Arrange the following numbers from least to greatest. • 0.4, 0.38, 0.49, 0.472, 0.425 • 0.400 400 • 0.380 380 • 0.490 490 • 0.472 472 • 0.425 425 • A:0.38 < 0.4 < 0.425 < 0.472 < 0.49

  13. Add and Subtract Decimals

  14. The Basic Steps to Adding or Subtracting Decimals: • Line up the numbers by the decimal point. • Fill in missing places with zeroes. • Add or subtract. • Be sure to put the larger number on top when subtracting.

  15. Example: 28.9 + 13.31 28.9 0 + 13.31 28.9 + 13.31 42.21 42.21

  16. 3.04 + 0.6 8 + 4.7 You Try

  17. 4 – 1.5 25.1 – 0.83 Ex: Subtract the following: 4 – 1.5

  18. Subtracting Across Zeroes • If you have several zeroes in a row, and you need to borrow, go to the first digit that is not zero, and borrow. • All middle zeroes become 9’s. • The final zero becomes 10.

  19. Example: 15 – 9.372 9 14 9 10 • 15.000 • 9.372 • ________ 5.628

  20. Multiply and Divide Decimals

  21. To Multiply Decimals: • You do not line up the factors by the decimal. • Instead, place the number with more digits on top. • Line up the other number underneath, at the right. • Multiply • Count the number of decimal places (from the right) in each factor. • Use the total number of decimal places in your two factors to place the decimal in your product.

  22. Example:5.63 x 3.7 1 4 2 5.63 two x 3.7 one 1 1 39 4 1 1 + 16 8 9 0 2 0 . 8 3 1 three

  23. Example: 0.53 x 2.618 2.618 has more digits (4) than 0.53 (3), so it goes on top. 3 4 Decimal Places 1 2 2.618 three x 0.53 two 1 7 8 5 4 13 0 9 0 0 + 0 0 0 0 00 . 1 3 8 7 5 4 five

  24. Try This: 6.5 x 15.3 3 1 2 1 15.3 one x 6.5 one 1 7 6 5 + 9 1 8 0 . 9 9 4 5 two

  25. Example: 0.00325 2.5

  28. Fractions

  29. Prime Numbers • A prime numberis a natural number greater than 1 that has exactly two factors (or divisors), itself and 1. • The number 3 is prime because it is divisible only by the factors 1 and 3.

  30. List of Prime Numbers in the 1st 50 Natural Numbers….

  31. Composite Numbers • A composite number is a natural number that is divisible by a number other than one and itself. • The number 9 is composite because it is divisible by 1,3, and 9 » more than 2 factors.

  32. Prime Factorization • Every composite number can be expressed as the product of prime numbers. • The process of breaking a given composite number down into a product of prime numbers is called prime factorization.

  33. Example: Write 2100 as a product of primes. • Select any two numbers whose product is 2100. • Among the many choices, two possibilities are: 21 x 100 and 30 x 70. • Let’s look at branching for both of these possibilities using a factor tree.

  34. Both factor trees result in the same prime factorization:

  35. Division • Divide the given number by the smallest prime number by which it is divisible. • Divide the previous quotient by the smallest prime number by which it is divisible. • Repeat this process until the quotient is a prime number. • Let’s look at divisionfor the number 2100.

  36. It has the same answer as the branching method…..

  37. Greatest Common Divisor - GCD • The GCD is used to reduce fractions. • One technique of finding the GCD is to use prime factorization. • The GCD of a set of natural numbers is the largest natural number that divides (without remainder) every number in that set.

  38. Example: What is the GCD of 12 and 18? • A longer way to determine the GCD is to list the divisors of each. Divisors of 12 {1,2,3,4,6,12} Divisors of 18 {1,2,3,6,9,18} • The common divisors are 1,2,3, and 6. Therefore, the greatest common divisor is 6.

  39. Prime Factorization • If the numbers are large, this method is not practical. • The GCD can be found more efficiently by using prime factorization.

  40. Steps to Finding the GCD Using Prime Factorization • Determine the prime factorization of each number. • List each prime factor with the smallestexponent that appears in each of the prime factorizations. • Determine the product of the factors found in step 2.

  41. Example 1: Find the GCD of 54 and 90. • The prime factorization for 54 is • The prime factorization for 90 is • The prime factors with the smallest exponents are

  42. The product of the factors found in the last step is • The GCD of 54 and 90 is 18. • This means that 18 is the largest natural number that divides both 54 and 90.

  43. You Try. Find the GCD of 315 and 450.

  44. Least Common Multiple - LCM • To perform addition and subtraction of fractions, we use the LCM. • The LCM of a set of natural numbers is the smallest natural number that is divisible (without remainder) by each element of the set.

  45. Example: Find the LCM of 12 and 18? • We could start by listing all of the multiples of each number and stop when we get to the smallest matching multiple. Multiples of 12: {12,24,36,48,…} Multiples of 18: {18,36,54,….} • The LCM is 36. However, there is an easier way using prime factorization.

  46. Steps to Finding the LCM Using Prime Factorization • Determine the prime factorization of each number. • List each prime factor with the greatest exponent that appears in any of the prime factorizations. • Determine the product of the factors in step 2.

  47. Example: Find the LCM of 54 and 90. • From a previous example we found • List each prime factor with the greatest exponent that appears in either of the prime factorizations: • The product will give the smallest natural number that is divisible by both 54 and 90 (The LCM):

  48. You Try: Find the LCM of 315 and 450.
