# 2.3 Recognise and represent decimal fractions  (Page 2/2)

 Page 2 / 2

With a calculator:

2. Make decimal fractions from the following:

2.1 $\frac{3}{4}$ = 3  4 = 0, ____

 2.2 $\frac{2}{5}$ = 25 = 2.3 $\frac{3}{5}$ = 2.4 $\frac{4}{5}$ = 2.5 $\frac{5}{5}$ = 2.6 $\frac{1}{4}$ =

We can convert any ordinary fraction to decimals in that way.

3. Make one-third into a decimal: $\frac{1}{3}$ = 1  3 =_____

Can you think of a reason why the answer is the way it is?

Without a calculator:

4. Write down equivalent fractions for each of the following and then write them as decimal fractions:

 Fraction Fraction as tenths Decimal fraction half one third Can’t
 Fraction Fraction as tenths Decimal fraction two-thirds Can’t one-quarter three-quarters one-fifth two-fifths three-fifths four-fifths one-sixth Can’t one-eighth

(Some of the above have more than one decimal place but it is good to know about them.)

5. What about the thirds and sixths and others that cannot be made into tenths? Use division.

• one-third = 1  3 =
• two-thirds = 2  3 =

Use your own method for the division or use a calculator. $\frac{1}{3}$ = 1  3

Or one way: ? x 3 = 1

0 x 3 = 0,0

0,3 x3 = 0,9

0,03 x 3 = 0,09

0,99 (which is nearly 1)

so: (0 x 3) + ( 0,3 x 3) + ( 0,03 x 3)

0 + 0,3 + 0,03

= 0,333

(and the calculator will go on dividing: 0,333)

We say: 0,3 recurring or 0,3֯(The dot means recurring.)

1. Solve without a calculator:

1.1 17 × 26

1.2 153  9

2. Share 11 sausage rolls equally amongst 10 boys. How much sausage roll will each boy receive?

3. Share 12 sausage rolls equally amongst 10 boys. How much sausage roll will each boy receive?

4. Mike drinks $1\frac{1}{2}$ mugs of milk for breakfast. His sister, Sharon, drinks $\frac{3}{4}$ of a mug of milk. How much milk have they drunk altogether?

5. Write the following in expanded notation:

 5.1 64,8 = 5.2 341,2 =

6. Write as decimals:

• Three and four-fifths = ………………………
• One and three-tenths = ………………….
• Five and one-quarter = …………………
• $4\frac{1}{2}$ = ………………….

7. From<;>; = write down the correct sign to make the following true:

• 2,4 ____ 4,2
• 1,7 _____2,1

8. Write down the number that is:

 Answer one tenth more than 45,9 one tenth less than 10

What is Repression?
Repression, In psychoanalytic theory, the exclusion of distressing memories, thoughts, or feelings from the conscious mind. Often involving sexual or aggressive urges or painful childhood memories, these unwanted mental contents are pushed into the unconscious mind.
Forqan
in psychoanalytic terms a basic defense mechanism that shuts out anxiety arousing thoghts feelings and memories from one consciousness
Berrel
Repression is holding something painful inside because you're afraid to let it out for fear of what trouble it might csuse
Connie
It helps students to understand the behavior of people they encounter.
what are the types of learning?
frederick
thanks @Frederick. But I still want to understand something. Classical conditioning, Operants conditioning and Observational learning are not types of learning?
Ogbeyemi
I believe there are several types of learning besides just the four I mentioned.
frederick
so, I can also say those I mentioned are part of learning?
Ogbeyemi
i would say so
frederick
Operant conditioning is a type of associative learning process through which the strength of a behavior is modified by reinforcement or punishment.
Forqan
what is psychology
in simple explanation, it is the study and understanding of the human behavior
Edmar
the scientific study of the human mind and its functions, especially those affecting behaviour in a given context.
naina
the scientific study of human mind and behaviour
NishaOfficial
but I thought psychology is not limited to humans. I think it is the scientific study of behavior and mental process of organisms
Ogbeyemi
processes*
Ogbeyemi
Trish
the study of human behavior, the reasons for the behavior, and ways to change the undesirable behaviors into desirable behaviors
RD
psychology is the study of the soul or mind of man through scientific studies relating to environmental factors and human behaviours.
Audley
not only man but animals as well
Audley
psychology is the study of the mind and behaviors*
Emely
the definition you gave Audley is incorrect
Emely
Hey Audley, also humans are animals, so the correct way to say it is.. Not only man but other animals as well. 👍🏽
Emely
Audley, you are both correct in the definition of psychology. Yours was textually from the book, while the other was simple and to the heart of it where a novice would understand.
Bosie
Emely, you stated that man is a animal as well. Explain?
