(see next paragraph).
The three three-hole punched folders will be used in
Social Studies, Science, and
Literature classes. Clearly and neatly write your
name and classroom number o each folder. Then place them in a three-ring
binder at least two and half inches in width or wider. If
you do not have a three-ring binder, you must obtain one. In

REPEATING
DECIMAL TO A FRACTION?
DOESN'T EVERYONE?
Follow these examples:
Note the following pattern for repeating decimals: 0.22222222... = 2/9
0.54545454... = 54/99
0.298298298... = 298/999
(Division by
9's causes the repeating pattern.)
Note the pattern if zeros preceed the repeating
decimal: 0.022222222... = 2/90
0.00054545454... = 54/99000
0.00298298298... = 298/99900
(Adding zeros
to the denominator adds zeros before the repeating decimal.)
To convert a decimal that begins with a
non-repeating part, such as 0.21456456456456456...,
to a fraction,
write it as the sum of the non-repeating part and
the repeating part: 0.21 + 0.00456456456456456... Next, convert each of these decimals to
fractions.
The first decimal has a divisor of power ten.
The second decimal (which
repeats) is convirted according to the pattern given
above.
21/100 + 456/99900 Now add these fraction by expressing both
with a
common divisor 20979/99900 +
456/99900
and add. 21435/99900 Finally simplify it to lowest terms 1429/6660 and check on your
calculator or with long
division... =
0.2145645645... ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ •LITERATURE WITH MRS.
