Take A slice

For no reason, quarantine days make us hungry every minute. Photo shown
above is a rectangular cake cut into several parts. How many slices can you eat in one
seating?

Can you help your mom cut the cake considering the number of persons at your
home and the person who needs to eat more than the others? How can you use some
of the idea of fractions you learned in school to show to all the members in your family
that you divide the cake according to their needs?
 What’s In

Activity 1: Quarantine needs Budgeting!

Nowadays, good budgeting is very

important for us to survive the effects of
quarantine to our financial stability. Create
your own family budget by filling out the

 What’s New

Changing Fractions to Decimals. When a fraction is converted to a decimal,

it will be in one of two forms: a terminating decimal or a repeating decimal.
(Bluman, A., 2006)

To change a fraction to a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator.

EXAMPLE: Change 3/8 to a decimal.
SOLUTION: 0.375
8 3.000
24
60
56
40
40

Hence = 0.375.

A mixed number can be changed to a decimal by first changing it to an improper
fraction and then dividing the numerator by the denominator. (Bluman, A., 2006)

EXAMPLE: Change 11to a decimal.
SOLUTION:
0.6363

Independent Activity 1:

Exploring Fractions changed into Decimals

When fraction is changed into decimals, like ice turned into
water, it changes its form but does not change its value.
Change each of the following fractions to a decimal:
1. 7 0.875 4. 7 0.583
8 12
2. 5 5. 5 2 5.66
0.83 3

Independent Assessment 1:

Paper Folding activity for changing fraction to percent:

Materials needed: pencil, ruler, and paper.

1.) Fold a line on your paper from one side of the paper to the other.
Use a ruler and pencil to draw in the line.

2.) Fold the line on top of itself so that the fold contains the given
point. Unfold the paper and draw a line through the crease with a
ruler and pencil.
Guide Question:
1.) After folding the paper into half, what do you notice? Can you get how many percent
can be seen if the paper is folded? When I folded the paper in half, I noticed that the paper was divided
into 2 sizes of the same size, which is 50% of the paper folded.
2.) Message a Friend. Compare your answer with him/her. Did they get the same
answer? We got the same answers as we fold the paper into the same sizes.
Changing Fractions to Percent. To change a fraction to a percent, change the
fraction to a decimal (i.e., divide the numerator by the denominator) and then move
the decimal two places to the right and affix the percent sign. (Bluman, A., 2006)

3
EXAMPLE: Write as a percent.
5
SOLUTION:
Divide 3 by 5 as shown:
0.6
5 3.0

Take the Challenge FINDING THE PART

A percent word problem has three values:
the base (B) or whole, the rate (R)
or percent, and the part (P).
Problems can be stated as follows:
Find 20% of 60.
What is 20% of 60?
20% of 60 is what number?
In this type of problems, you are given the base and
the rate and are asked to find the part. Use the
formula Part = Rate × Base. Be sure to change the percent to a decimal or fraction
before multiplying.
 Change this in decimal by
EXAMPLE: Find 60% of 90. moving the decimal point twice
going to the right. Result: .60

SOLUTION:
Change the percent to a fraction and multiply: 60 × 90 = 5,400 or 54.

What I Have Learned

Definition of terms
Fraction simply tells us how many parts of a whole we have. It is
composed of numerator and denominator.
Numerator is the upper portion of the fraction.
Denominator is the lower portion of the fraction.
Vinculum a horizontal line drawn over a group of terms in a
mathematical expression to indicate that they are to be operated on as a single
entity by the preceding or following operator.
 Terminating Decimal are those numbers which come to an end after
few repetitions after decimal point.
Repeating Decimal or recurring decimal is decimal representation of a
number whose digits are periodic and infinitely repeated portion is not zero.

To change a fraction to a decimal, divide the numerator by the

denominator. A mixed number can be changed to a decimal by first changing it
to an improper fraction and then dividing the numerator by the denominator. To
change a fraction to a percent, change the fraction to a decimal and then move
the decimal two places to the right and affix the percent sign. (Bluman, A., 2006)

What I Need to Reflect

How do you and your family cope up with the financial crisis that we are
encountering while we are trying to overcome the pandemic?
Like fractions, you can plan and divide your available resources in order
for you to cope up with the financial crisis you are encountering. Prioritize the
needs of the family and disregard for the mean time the wants. You’ll be
surprised that what you have is enough for everybody.
Even the word of God tells us to believe that what we have will always
be enough or more than what we imagine because He will never leave us alone.
In the parable of fishes and loaves, we can see that in time of hunger;
what the people had will multiply according to the will of God because of their
faith.

What I Can Do

Great Ideas! Meal planning is one way to divide your available food
resources at home. Check your kitchen cabinets, refrigerator or anything alike
where you store your foods. Stretch your food resources into 1 week meal plan.
Remember that in a day you have breakfast, lunch and dinner. If you are taking
snacks, you may also put it in your meal plan. Show it to your
mother/father/guardian if what you have created is feasible. Good luck 

determined by the testing service. 4.8 hours
