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
