LOOKING BACK TO YOUR LESSON

In changing a terminating decimal to a fraction, drop the decimal point and place the digits to the right of the decimal in the
numerator of a fraction whose denominator corresponds to the place value of the last
digit in the decimal. While in changing a decimal to a percent, move the decimal point two places to the right and affix the percent
sign. If the decimal is located at the end of the number, do not write it
To change a percent to a decimal, drop the percent sign and move the decimal point two places to the left. In changing a percent
to a fraction, write the numeral in front of the percent sign as the numerator of a fraction whose denominator is 100. Reduce the
fraction if possible.
The formula for Rate = Part / Base while for Base = Part/Rate.

REFLECTIVE LEARNING SHEET

The Civil Service Commission created a memorandum which shows how businesses can still operate if the city is under the
General Community Quarantine (GCQ). One of the option is the Skeleton (Skeletal) Workforce which pertains to a work
arrangement where a minimum number of employees is required to man the office to render service when full staffing is not
possible.
Is the head of your family affected with this kind of work arrangement? What can you say about it? Share the positive and
negative side of this work arrangement.
