They can do. But they can also show wholes plus a part. For example, 41/2 or 4.5 represent four wholes and one part out of two of another.

How is the numerator of the product related to the factors?

The numerator is how many you have, and the factors are numbers that go into a number, so they are both parts of parts or fractions/decimals.


Are fractions and decimals wholes or parts of a whole?

Fractions are normally parts of a whole, although, in some cases whole number may be expressed as a fraction - particularly fractions that arise partway through a calculation, before they are simplified - such as 5882/17. A decimal is simply a way of representing numbers in such a way the the place value of each digit is ten times that of the digit to its left. A decimal number may be an integer or a part of the whole (or a number comprising both).

How can i use models to relate fractions and decimals?

You can use visual models, such as number lines and pie charts, to relate fractions and decimals. For example, a number line can illustrate how the fraction 1/2 corresponds to the decimal 0.5 by showing both representations at the same point. Pie charts can visually demonstrate how fractions like 1/4 translate to decimals like 0.25 by dividing a whole into equal parts. These models help learners see the connections between the two representations more clearly.


When is the sum of two decimals equal to a whole number When is the difference of two decimals equal to a whole number?

The sum of two decimals equals a whole number when the total number of decimal places in both decimals is the same or when one decimal has a sufficient number of trailing zeros to make the total a whole number. For the difference of two decimals to equal a whole number, the two decimals must differ such that their decimal parts cancel each other out, resulting in an integer. In both cases, the key is ensuring that the decimal portions align appropriately.

How can you simplify a ratio?

Find a common number that you can divide both by, just like simplifying fractions. Say you have a ratio of 2:4. Both of those numbers are divisible by two, so if you divide both by two you get 1:2. Generally you want to have both numbers as whole numbers (i.e. no fractions or decimals) Find the GCF of the numbers and divide them both by it. If the GCF is 1, the ratio is in its simplest form. If the ratio is between two decimals, multiply them by whatever power of ten will eliminate the decimals. Then proceed with the GCF.
