  1. Greetings!!! Hello everybody! I am Ms. Signorello and in today’s lesson we will work on some math skills, vocabulary, sentence completions, and writing exercises. Lesson # 2

  2. Today’s Math Skills More on Fractions Reciprocals Factors and Multiples

  3. More on Fractions Alternating between a decimal and a fraction is an important skill. To change a fraction into a decimal you simply divide the top number by the bottom number.

  4. Examples Let’s say you want to change 4/5 to a decimal. You will divide 5 into 4. = =

  5. Or you can use a calculator Online Calculator Let’s try the online calculator to convert 7/5 to a decimal.

  6. Changing from a decimal to a fraction Let’s change .275 to a fraction. .275 = 275/1000 = 11/40

  7. Using the online calculator Online Calculator Let’s change .125 to a fraction. On the calculator there’s a key that has We’ll use that key and then enter in our decimal. d f

  8. Reciprocals Using reciprocals is an important skill for solving algebraic equations. If you multiply a number by it’s reciprocal, it will always equal 1.

  9. Examples

  10. Scientific Notation Suppose you need to change 345 to scientific notation. The number 345 is the same as 300 + 40 + 5. It can also be written as 3 x 100 + 4 x 10 + 5 x 1 =

  11. Factors Factors are the positive integers that divide evenly into a number. For example the factors of 36 are: 36, 18, 12, 9, 6, 4, 3, 2, 1 I can divide 36 by any of these numbers and there will not be a remainder.

  12. Multiples Multiples are numbers that can be divided by the given number evenly. That means there is no remainder. For example, the numbers 9, 18, 36, 45, and 54 are multiples of 9. 9 divides evenly into each of those numbers.

  13. Examples 5A is divisible by both 2 and 3. If A is a digit, what is the value of A? 1 2 3 4 5

  14. Example If a - b is a multiple of 5, then which of the following must also be a multiple of 5? b - a a + b ab b - a 2 a + b 2

  15. Solution If a - b is a multiple of 5, we can pick a number for a and a number for b that makes this true. Let a = 13 and b = 8. So, 13 - 8 = 5, which is divisible by 5. We will substitute a = 13 and b = 8 in the answer choices.

  16. Substituting 8 - 13 = -5 • b - a • a + b • ab • b - a 2 • a + b 2 13 + 8 = 21 (13)(8) = 104 8 - 13 2 = -5 2 13 + 8 2 = 21 2

  17. Example Which of the following could be remainders when 3 consecutive positive integers are each divided by 4? 1, 2, 3 0, 3, 2 3, 0, 1 3, 2, 1 0, 1, 2

  18. Solution Pick any 3 consecutive integers, say 7, 8, and 9. Now divide each of those by 4 and record the remainder for each division. 7/4 has a remainder of 3. 8/4 has a remainder of 0. 9/4 has a remainder of 1. Therefore, answer c is the correct answer!
