Study Notes

Whole Numbers

  • A set of positive integers, including 0, without fractions or decimals
  • Examples: 0, 1, 2, 3, ...
  • Properties:
    • Closure: The result of adding or multiplying whole numbers is always a whole number
    • Commutative: The order of whole numbers does not change the result of addition or multiplication
    • Associative: The order in which whole numbers are added or multiplied does not change the result
    • Distributive: Multiplication distributes over addition

Rational Numbers

  • A set of numbers that can be expressed as the ratio of two integers (fractions)
  • Examples: 3/4, 22/7, 1/2
  • Properties:
    • Closure: The result of adding, subtracting, multiplying, or dividing rational numbers is always a rational number
    • Commutative: The order of rational numbers does not change the result of addition or multiplication
    • Associative: The order in which rational numbers are added or multiplied does not change the result
    • Distributive: Multiplication distributes over addition

Percentages

  • A way to express a value as a fraction of 100
  • Examples: 25%, 50%, 75%
  • Calculating percentages:
    • Increase: Original value × (Percentage increase / 100)
    • Decrease: Original value × (100 - Percentage decrease) / 100
    • Percentage change: ((New value - Original value) / Original value) × 100

Fractions

  • A way to express a part of a whole as a ratio of two integers
  • Examples: 1/2, 3/4, 2/3
  • Operations with fractions:
    • Addition: Add numerators, keep denominators the same
    • Subtraction: Subtract numerators, keep denominators the same
    • Multiplication: Multiply numerators and denominators separately
    • Division: Invert and multiply

Decimals

  • A way to express a fraction as a base-10 number
  • Examples: 0.5, 0.25, 1.75
  • Converting between decimals and fractions:
    • Decimal to fraction: Divide numerator by denominator
    • Fraction to decimal: Divide numerator by denominator and simplify

Whole Numbers

  • Examples: 0, 1, 2, 3, ...
  • Properties:
    • Closure: Addition and multiplication of whole numbers always result in whole numbers
    • Commutative: Order of whole numbers does not affect addition and multiplication results
    • Associative: Order of whole numbers in addition and multiplication does not affect results
    • Distributive: Multiplication distributes over addition

Rational Numbers

  • A set of numbers that can be expressed as the ratio of two integers (fractions)
  • Examples: 3/4, 22/7, 1/2
  • Properties:
