b – Denominator
Types of Fractions
2. Mixed Fraction - Also called mixed number or mixed numeral, it is the sum of a whole number and a proper
fraction. Examples:
1. Addition/Subtraction of Fractions
-Start with the sum of two similar denominators.
a b a+b
Rule: + = , c≠0 Example: + =
c c c
- To add/subtract fractions with different denominators, we first convert the fractions to similar fractions and
then apply the above rule.
Example:
2. Multiplication of fractions
Rule: Example:
3. Division of fractions
Rule: Example:
1. Addition/Subtraction of decimals
2. Multiplication of decimals
3. Division of decimals
(ii) Second, perform the usual long division wherein the numerator is the dividend and the denominator is the
divisor.

EXPRESSING DECIMALS TO FRACTIONS
Percent - which means “per hundred” is a representation of a fraction whose denominator is 100. Thus, expressing
a number in percent is like comparing it with 100.
25 88 3
Examples: 25% = 88% = 3% =
100 100 100
Rule: Multiply the decimal by 100%. This is equivalent to moving the decimal point two places to the right and
appending the % sign.
Examples:
1) 0.35 = 35%
2) 0.175 = 17.5%
3) 1.2 = 120%
Rule: Divide the percent by 100%. This is equivalent to moving the decimal point two places to the
Left and dropping the % sign.
Examples:
1) 75% = .75
2) 1.468% = .01468
3) 239% = 2.39
Rule: First, convert the fraction to decimal by applying C1. Then, convert the decimal to percent by applying D1.
Examples:
1
1) = 0.5 = 50%
2
7
2) = 0.14 = 14%
50
36
3) = 7.2 = 720%
