Place Value in Numbers

Study Notes

Place Value

Definition: The value of a digit in a number based on its position or place in the number.
Places: Units (ones), Tens, Hundreds, Thousands, etc.
Key Concepts:
- Each place has a value 10 times the value of the place to its right.
- The value of a digit depends on its place in the number.

Examples:

In the number 456, the 4 is in the Hundreds place, the 5 is in the Tens place, and the 6 is in the Units place.
The value of the digit 4 in the number 456 is 400 (4 x 100).

Fractions

Definition: A way to represent part of a whole as a ratio of two numbers.
Key Concepts:
- Numerator (top number): Tells how many equal parts are being referred to.
- Denominator (bottom number): Tells how many parts the whole is divided into.
- Equivalent Fractions: Fractions that have the same value, but different numbers.
Operations:
- Adding Fractions: Require a common denominator.
- Multiplying Fractions: Multiply numerators and denominators separately.

Examples:

The fraction 3/4 represents 3 equal parts out of a total of 4 equal parts.
Equivalent fractions: 1/2 = 2/4 = 3/6

Percentages

Definition: A way to express a value as a fraction of 100.
Key Concepts:
- Percentage Increase/Decrease: Calculated as a percentage of the original value.
- Percentage of a Value: Calculated as a percentage of the original value.
Conversions:
- Fraction to Percentage: Divide by the denominator and multiply by 100.
- Percentage to Fraction: Divide by 100 and simplify.

Examples:

25% of 120 is 30 (25/100 x 120).
The fraction 3/4 is equal to 75% (3 ÷ 4 = 0.75 x 100).

Place Value

The value of a digit in a number depends on its position or place in the number.
The places in a number, from right to left, are Units, Tens, Hundreds, Thousands, and so on.
Each place has a value 10 times the value of the place to its right.
The value of a digit is determined by its place in the number.

Fractions

A fraction is a way to represent part of a whole as a ratio of two numbers.
The numerator (top number) tells how many equal parts are being referred to.
The denominator (bottom number) tells how many parts the whole is divided into.
Equivalent fractions are fractions that have the same value but different numbers.
To add fractions, you need a common denominator.
To multiply fractions, you multiply the numerators and denominators separately.

Percentages

A percentage is a way to express a value as a fraction of 100.
Percentage increase or decrease is calculated as a percentage of the original value.
Percentage of a value is calculated as a percentage of the original value.
To convert a fraction to a percentage, you divide by the denominator and multiply by 100.
To convert a percentage to a fraction, you divide by 100 and simplify.

Description
