5. What is represented by the shaded portion of the figure? a. seven tenths b. three hundredths c. thirty hundredths d. seven hundredths

B. Answer the following problems. (Show your solutions if necessary) 1. 0.2 x 0.08 is less than 0.13 x 0.3. How much less? 2. What is the difference between 0.5 and 0.007? 3. Find the midway between 0.15 and 0.25. 4. Evaluate: 0.32 + (0.000001455 x 0.0043)0 (0.1)2 5. 2.25 0.01 =

Activity 1
What to do: 1. Get the five squares. Divide each into 10 equal parts. 2. Color the following parts of the squares: Square R: 8 parts red, Square B: 2 parts blue, Square O: 5 parts orange, Square G: 1 part green, Square Y: 10 parts yellow.
3.

3. What part of each square piece is colored? Write the fraction and their corresponding names in the table below.
SQUARE R B O G Y FRACTION NAME IN WORDS

4. What do you observe about the denominators of the fractions? Why? There is another form to represent fractions with denominator of 10. This form is called decimals or decimal notation.
Fractional Form Decimal Form Read as

1/10
2/10 3/10 4/10

0.1
0.2 0.3 0.4

One tenth
Two tenths Three tenths Four tenths

5/10

0.5

Five tenths

5. Can you see a pattern? Let us check by renaming the following to decimals. Also write their names in words. 6/10 = ____ 8/1000 = ____ 7/10 = ____ 18/10000 = ____ 6. Take the remaining 5 squares. Divide each into 100 equal parts.

7. Color the following parts of the squares: Square A: 1 part, Square B: 5 parts, square C: 50 parts, Square D: 100 parts, Square E: 10 parts

8. What part of the squares is colored? Write the fractional form and the corresponding names.
SAQUARE A B C D D & E together FRACTION NAME IN WORDS

9. What do you observe about the denominators of the fractions?

10. Change the following fractions to decimals and write their names.
30/100 40/100 53/1000 9/10000 6 75/1000

Activity 2
Evaluate or do the following operations. 1. 0.000800 2. 0.5 - 0.000457 - 0.00287

3.

3.908 x .91

4.
6.

0.000001 x 4500 =
1.44 .12 =

5. 53 0.001 =
7. 0.34 + (0.4 - 0.02)0 0.0001 =

CONSOLIDATION

In renaming fractions whose denominators are powers of 10 to decimals: Count the number of ciphers of the denominator to determine the number of decimal places. Write the numbers of the numerator in the proper place value. Place ciphers after the decimal point to complete the required number of decimal places. For fractions less than 1, a zero may be written before the decimal point. For fractions greater than 1, the whole number is written before the decimal point. A decimal place tells the position occupied by the digits after the decimal point. Decimal are read as in the same way as their fractional form.
