Whole numbers are sometimes written as a numerator over 1, e.g. 1 = 6 wholes or 6.

A tip to help you! To change an improper fraction to a mixed number you divide the numerator

by the denominator, e.g. to change the improper fraction of 2 to a mixed number you divide 5 by 2.

28 Decimal fractions

3 5
Decimals are a way of expressing tenths and hundredths, e.g. 10 = 0.3 and 10 = 0.5.
3
Whole numbers can be included in decimals: 7 10 = 7.3.
Decimals always have a number left of the point. This can be 0 if the amount is less than one.
Decimals can also be shown on number lines.
8 9 10 11
A tip to help you! A quick trick to count decimals is to ‘think’ of the decimal as a whole number,
e.g. What is the next number in this sequence? 2.1, 2.3, 2.5, ?
It looks like counting in the 20s (21, 23, 25). The next term will
2 be 27 then
4 29 with a6 decimal point
8 (2.7, 2.9).

29 Decimals

Decimals are a way of expressing hundredths and thousandths,

25 1 65 13 1
e.g. 0.25 is 25 hundredths or 100 or 4. 0.65 is 65 hundredths or 100 or 20 . 3.50 can be written as 3.5 or 32.
1 426
50 out of 100 is the same as 5 out of 10. Both = 2. 3.426 = 3 1000 . Decimal places begin with tenths,
followed by hundredths, then thousandths.

30 Counting with fractions and decimals

A tip to help you! When counting with fractions remember to simplify when the numerator and
20
the denominator can be divided by the same number, e.g. 50 can be simplified by dividing both
2
numerator and denominator by 10 (5).
Zeroes on the end of decimals of two or more places (e.g. 3.60) do not change the value of the
decimal if the zero is removed (3.60 = 3.6, 2.750 = 2.75).
