Study Notes
Decimal Types and Descriptions
- Decimal numbers can be classified into finite decimals and infinite decimals.
- Finite decimals have a definite number of digits after the decimal point, such as 0.75.
- Infinite repeating decimals have an endless pattern, such as 0.333... (which represents 1/3).
- Infinite non-repeating decimals do not have a repeating pattern, like the decimal representation of pi (π).
Fractions and Decimal Representations
- Proper fractions represent numbers less than one, e.g., 1/4 = 0.25.
- Improper fractions are greater than or equal to one, e.g., 5/4 = 1.25.
- Mixed numbers combine whole numbers and fractions, e.g., 2 1/2 = 2.5.
- Each fraction can be converted to decimal by dividing the numerator by the denominator.
Decimal Representations and Their Types
- Decimals can also be categorized based on their characteristics, such as repeating or terminating.
- Terminating decimals end after a finite number of digits, like 0.5 or 0.125.
- Repeating decimals, like 0.666..., occur when a specific digit or a series of digits recurs indefinitely.
Statements and Descriptions
- Descriptive statements regarding decimals and fractions often highlight the properties that differentiate them.
- Key descriptors for fractions include proper, improper, and mixed types.
- Descriptive statements for decimals emphasize whether they are terminating, repeating, or non-repeating.
