A. Write your answer on a 1 whole sheet of yellow paper. You may use the same paper for your

answers on the next activity below.

1. Change 7/8 to decimal form. 0.875

2. Change 1.25 to fraction form. 1 ¼

3. Convert 0.656 to its decimal form. 6.65%

4. Change ten and a half into percent. 1050%

5. Convert 1.56 into decimal form. 156%

1. 7/8 2. 1.25 3. 0.656 4. 10.5 5. 1.56

= 7÷8 = 1.25/1 =6.65% = 1050% = 156%

=0.875 = 125/100

=125/100 ÷25/25= 5/4

=1¼

B. Do the conversion of what is missing by the given below.

Fraction Decimal Percent

6. ⅗ 0.6  60%

7. 9/2 4.5 450%

8. 1 ¾ 1.75 175%

9. 1/8 0.125 12.5%

10. 9/20   0.45 45%

C. I will be giving a pair of ratio or rates. Your task is to DETERMINE IF the quantities in each

given is proportional. Explain your reasoning.

11. 98 words typed in three minutes; 162 words typed in five minutes.

98 words/ 3 minutes : 162 words/ 5 minutes

98/3 : 162/5

98 x 5 / 3 x 5 : 162 x 3/ 5 x 3

490/15 : 486/15

Now, the denominators are equal, but the numerators are not. As a result, each pair of ratios is

not proportional.

2. 16 points scored in four games; 48 points in eight games.

6 points/ 4 games : 48 points/ 8 games

1.5 : 6
Because ratios are not equal, a pair of ratios is not proportional.

a.Compute for what is asked.

1. What percent of 90 is 75? 83.3333..%

75 ÷ 90 = 0.8333..

= 83.3333..%

2. 35 is 25% of what number? 140

35 ÷ 25%

35 ÷ 0.25

= 140

3. What is 15% of 1840? 276

1840 x 15%

1840 x 0.15

=276

4. 135 is what percent of 90? 150 %

135 ÷ 90

1.5

= 150%

5. 690 is 150% of what number? 460

690/150%

690/1.5

= 460

b. Identify what is asked to solve for each of the following problems involving proportions.

Write your answers on a 1 whole sheet. You may use the back page of for your answer at the

above activity.

6. A box of pencils costs ₱ 30. How much will be the costs of a dozen box? 360 pesos.

30pesos=1box

12 (dozen) boxes x 30 pesos

= 360 pesos

7. Three kittens can finish eight boxes of cereals in a week. How many boxes of cereals are

needed weekly to feed an additional five kittens? 10 2/3 boxes

3 = 8 boxes.

8 ÷ 3 = 2 2/3 per kitten

3 + 5 = 8 kittens

8 kittens × 2 2/3 boxes = 10 2/3 boxes.

8. John has a two-thirds share in their food business. He sold half of his share for ₱20,000. What

has his total share before selling? How much is the total capital for the food business?

total share = ₱40,000

capital is =₱ 60, 000

:half of 2/3 = ₱20,000 x 2 to get the total share

= ₱40,000

Capital=n

2/3=40k/n

2n=120k

2n/2=120k/2

n = ₱60,000

9. Mr. Alcantara gave ₱50,000 as the club fund for the upcoming school fair. Math club, Science

club, and art club will share the amount in the ratio of 2:3:5. How much will she give for each

group?

Math Club:

=50,000 x 2/2+3+5

= 50,000 x 2/10

= ₱10,000

Science Club:

= 50,000 x 3/2+3+5

= 50,000 x 3/10
= 15,000

Art club:

= 50,000 x 5/2+3+5

= ₱50,000 x 5/10

= ₱25,000

10. A family has what they estimate to be a 30-day supply of food. However, after 10 days, only

an 18-day food supply remains. If they continue to eat at the same rate, how many days will the

food last for the family?

Given:

30 days day supply of food

10 days

18 days food supply remains

Solution:

30 days – 18 days = 12 days

12 days ÷ 10 days = per 1.2 days supply of food

18 days ÷ 1.2 days = 15 days

= 15 days
