If you have not completed this chapter yet continue to work through it at your own pace.
If you have completed the chapter try some of the following work;
Example: ½ >>> I must change this fraction to make sure it is OUT OF 100.
Numerator: 1x 50 = 50
Denominator: 2×50= 100
Fraction : 50/100
Percentage: 50%
a)¼ b) 1/5 c) ¾ d) 1/10 e) 2/5 f) 3/10 g) 3/5 h) 4/5 i) 7/10
Example: 25% >>> 25 OUT OF 100 >>> 25/100
I must divide the top and bottom by the same number to achieve an equivalent fraction.
Numerator: 25 ÷5 = 5
Denominator: 100 ÷ 5 = 20
Fraction 5/20 >>>> Is this it’s simplest form? No! I will divide again.
Numerator: 5 ÷5 = 1
Denominator: 20 ÷ 5 = 4
Fraction : ¼
a)50 % b) 25% c) 75% d) 20% e) 10% f) 30% g) 40 % h) 60% i) 80% j) 90%
Example: 0.75 > 75% > 75/100 > ¾
a)0.25 b) 0.5 c) 0.2 d) 0.25 e) 0.1 f) 0.9 g) 0.45 h) 0.35 i) 0.7
Example: ¼ > 25% > 0.25
a)¾ b) 1/5 c) 1/10 d) 3/10 e) 2/5 f) 7/10 g) 10/10 h) 4/5 i)1/20

a) 27% = b) 57% = c) 63% = d) 47% = e) 87% = f) 91 % =
Sometimes the fractions can be broken down again to lowest terms eg 25% = 25/100 =1/4 and 40%=40/100 = 4/10 =2/5
g) 0.75= /100 = h) 30% = i) 80% = j) 50%= k) 20%= l) 60%=

Poetry:
Read the following poem and complete the following activities:
The Ozone
The ozone layer is in the upper atmosphere,
And a major factor in letting us live here.
It filters out the harmful rays,
From the radiant sun to prolong our days.
But we never cared about this fact,
Just used, abused and forgot our contract.
To look after the earth, the flowers and the trees,
To care for the animals, birds and bees.
Don’t burn and be greedy for monetary gain,
We want the beauty of this planet to remain.
So let’s be careful in what we do,
The ozone sends its message to me and to you.
By Gary Kay
