About the Module
This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help you
master about Properties of Integers and Forms of Rational Numbers. The scope of
this module permits it to be used in many different learning situations. The
language used recognizes the diverse vocabulary level of students. The lessons are
arranged to follow the standard sequence of the course. But the order in which you
read them can be changed to correspond with the textbook you are now using.

In this module, you will study about:

Lesson 1 : Properties of Integers
Lesson 2 & 3: Changing Rational Numbers from Fraction Form into
Decimal Form and vice versa

After going through this module, you are expected to:

 illustrate the different properties of operations on the set of integers;
 rewrite given expressions according to the given property;
 express rational numbers from fraction form to decimal form;
 use different ways in expressing ideas about fraction and decimal
numbers;

Multiplication:
changing the order of the factors
does not change the product.
Illustrative Examples:
1. ( 7 )( 6 ) = ( 6 )( 7 )
2. (– 3)( 7 ) = ( 7 )( – 3 )
3. (– 8)( – 5) = (– 5 )( – 8 )
4. (9) (– 4) = (– 4 )( 9 )

How to change decimal numbers into fractional form?

Decimal Numbers Equivalent Fraction Form Explanation

Since the place value of 5 is in
0.5 or the tenths place, so the
denominator will be 10.

Since the place value of 5 is in

–0.75 or the hundredths place, so the
denominator will be 100.

Since the place value of 8 is in

0.328 or or the thousandths place, so the
denominator will be 1000.

4) 0.3…

Solution: Explanation
Let n = 0.3… First equation.

10(n = 0.3…)10 Multiply the first equation by 10 and this will be the
second equation.
10n = 3.3…

10n = 3.3… Subtract the second equation by the first equation.

Let n = 0.45… First equation.

100(n = 0.45…)100 Multiply the first equation by 100 and this will be
the second equation.
100n = 45.45…
100n = 45.45… Subtract the second equation by the first equation.
