8-1 Rational Numbers Objective: Students will be able to write rational numbers as decimals and decimals as fractions. 8.NS.1 Know that numbers that are not rational are called irrational. Understand informally that every number has a decimal expansion; for rational numbers show that the decimal expansion repeats eventually, and convert a decimal expansion which repeats eventually into a rational number. Do Now: Rational Numbers on a Number Line Integers Whole Numbers Natural Numbers | | –4 –3 | | –2 | | –1 Negative numbers | | | 0 1 2 3 4 Positive numbers Zero is neither negative nor positive Another set of numbers you can display on a number line is the set of rational numbers. A rational number is any number that can be written in the form a , where a and b are integers and b ≠ 0. b Some examples of rational numbers: 1 2 2 3 17 5 15 3 14 11 3 1 265 99 A rational number can also be expressed as a decimal that terminates or as a decimal that repeats indefinitely: 1 2 2 3 17 5 15 3 14 11 3 1 = = = = = = 0.3 3.4 5 1.27 0.5 265 99 = 3 2.676767... To express the rational number as a decimal, divide the numerator (top) by the denominator (bottom) numerator denominator denominator numerator Write 5 8 as a decimal: 2 Write 1 as a decimal: 3 In a recent season, St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Albert Pujols had 175 hits in 530 at bats. What is his batting average to the nearest thousandth? Write 0.45 as a fraction: Write 1.32 as a fraction: Challenge! Write 0.7 as a fraction: Remember: Infinite repeating decimals are usually represented by putting a line over (sometimes under) the shortest block of repeating decimals. Every infinite repeating decimal can be expressed as a fraction. 1) Ask yourself, how many numbers repeat? 1 number 2) Assign a variable for the decimal. Let n = 0.77777 3) Assign power of 10 times the variable (how many numbers repeat). Let 10n = 7.77777 4) Subtract variables and numbers. 5) Solve for n. Write 0.5 as a fraction: Write 2.1 8 as a fraction: Glencoe Guided Practice Page 10 Homework 8-1 Pages 11-12 All #’s Exit Ticket: Write convert the decimal into a fraction or the fraction into a decimal in simplest form: 4 1) 5 5 2)5 16 3) 1.55 4)3.8
