Percents as fractions and decimals. 1.A) Problem: Express each percent as a fraction.

E 1: 40%

E 2: 87 %

Solution: Always put it over a 100.

E 1: 40% = 40/100 = 2/5 Therefore, 40% = 2/5

E 2: 87 =87 1/2/100 =175/2/100 = 175/2 x 1/100 = 175/200 =7/8 Therefore, 87 % = 7/8

Greatest common factor. 1.A) Problem: Find the GCF of 36 and 48.

E1: 36

E2: 48

Solution: One way to find the GCF is to list the factors of each number and then choose the GCF.

E1: factors of 36: 1,2,3,4,6,9,12,18,36

E2: factors of 48: 1,2,3,4,6,8,12,16,24,48

Common factors: 1,2,3,4,6,12 The GCF of 36 and 48 is 12.

Least common multiple 1.A) Problem: Find the least common multiple of 6 and 8.

E1: 6

E1: 8

Solution: the least nonzero multiple of two or more numbers is the least common multiple of the numbers.

E1: Positive multiples of 6: 6,12,18,24,30,36,42,

E2: positive multiples of 8:8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56,
