fraction and decimal vocabulary
Across
- 2. fraction a fraction expressed by a numerator and a denominator, not decimally.
- 3. point a dot placed after the figure representing units in a decimal fraction.
- 5. equivalent fraction; having the same value, even though they may look different. Example 1/2 and 2/4 are equivalent, because they are both "half"
- 7. fraction a fraction in which the numerator is greater than the denominator, such as 5/4.
- 9. simplest form; To simplify a fraction, divide the top and bottom by the highest number that can divide into both numbers exactly to its simplest or lowest term.
- 10. the number above the line in a common fraction showing how many of the parts indicated by the denominator are taken, for example, 2 in 2/3.
- 12. fraction a fraction that is less than one, with the numerator less than the denominator, such as 1/2
- 13. value the numerical value that a digit has by virtue of its position in a number.

- 1. a numerical quantity that is not a whole number (e.g. 1/2, 0.5).
- 2. decimal to fraction Decimals and fractions represent the same thing: a number that is not a whole number. A decimal represents a fraction in multiple units of ten(s). Convert the decimal by multiplying both top and bottom by 10 for every number after the decimal point. (For example, if there are two numbers after the decimal point, then use 100, if there are three then use 1000, etc.) Ex: .25 is 25/100 which by division of 25 (lowest common multiplier) reduces or simplifies to 1/4
- 4. the number below the line in a common fraction; a divisor.
- 6. numbers An ordinal number refers to a number that indicates the position or order of things or objects, such as first, second, third, fourth, and so on.
- 8. numbers A number made up of a whole number and a proper fraction, such as 2 1/3
- 11. common multiple The least common multiple of the denominators to change each equivalent fraction to make their denominators the same as the least common denominator.
