1. Multiplication Word Problem

Amanda has 12 boxes of chocolates. Each box has 24 pieces of chocolate. She wants to share them equally among her 18 friends. How many pieces of chocolate will each friend get?

Solution : To solve this problem, we need to multiply 12 by 24 to find Amanda's total number of pieces of chocolate. Then, we need to divide that number by 18 to find how many pieces of chocolate each friend will get.

12 x 24 = 288

288 ÷ 18 = 16

Therefore, each friend will get 16 pieces of chocolate.

Tip : To check your answer, reverse the operation and multiply 16 by 18 to see if you get back to 288.

2. Division Word Problem

A school bus can carry 48 students. 216 students are going on a field trip. How many buses will transport all the students?

Solution : To solve this problem, we will divide 216 by 48 to find how many buses are needed to transport all the students.

216 ÷ 48 = 4.5

However, we cannot have half a bus, so we must round up to the following number.

Therefore, 5 buses will transport all the students.

Tip : To check your answer, reverse the operation and multiply 5 by 48 to see if you get more than or equal to 216.

3. Fractions Word Problem

A recipe for a cake requires 3/4 cup of sugar. If you want to make one-third of the recipe, how much sugar do you need?

Solution : To solve this problem, we will multiply 3/4 by 1/3 to find how much sugar we need for half of the recipe.

3/4 x 1/3 = 3/12

Therefore, we need 3/12 cup of sugar for half of the recipe.

Tip : To simplify fractions, you can divide the numerator and the denominator by a common factor. For example, 3/12 can be simplified by dividing both by 3, which gives us 1/4.

4. Decimals Word Problem

A pizza costs $12.50 and has 8 slices. If you eat 3 slices, what fraction of the pizza did you eat? What percentage of the pizza did you eat? How much did you pay for the slices that you ate?

Solution : To solve this problem, we will find the fraction, percentage, and cost of the slices we ate.

To find the fraction, we will divide the number of slices we ate by the total number of slices in the pizza.

3 ÷ 8 = 3/8

Therefore, we ate 3/8 of the pizza.

To find the percentage, we will convert the fraction to a decimal and then multiply by 100.

3/8 = 0.375

0.375 x 100 = 37.5%

Therefore, we ate 37.5% of the pizza.

To find the cost per slice, we will divide the price of the pizza by the total number of slices in the pizza. Then, we will multiply that by the number of slices we ate.

12.50 ÷ 8 = 1.5625

1.5625 x 3 = 4.6875

Therefore, we paid $4.6875 for the slices that we ate.

Tip : To convert a fraction to a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator. For example, 3/8 = 3 ÷ 8 = 0.375

5. Fraction of a whole word problem

A pizza is cut into 12 equal slices. Amy eats 3 slices, Ben eats 2, and Chris eats 4. What fraction of the pizza is left? How many slices are left?

Solution : To find the fraction of the pizza left, we will subtract the fractions that Amy, Ben, and Chris ate from the whole pizza. The whole pizza is 12/12 or 1. Amy ate 3/12, Ben ate 2/12, and Chris ate 4/12. So, we have:

1 - (3/12 + 2/12 + 4/12) = 1 - (9/12) = 1 - (3/4) = 1/4

So, the fraction of the pizza that is left is 1/4. To find how many slices are left, we can multiply the fraction by the total number of slices:

1/4 x 12 = 3

So, there are 3 slices left.

Tip : To subtract fractions with the same denominator, subtract the numerators and keep the denominator. To subtract fractions with different denominators, you must first find a common denominator.

6. Probability word problem

A bag contains 20 marbles: 8 red, 6 blue, and 6 green. What is the probability of randomly picking a red marble from the bag? What is the probability of picking a blue or a green marble?

Solution : To find the probability of an event, we need to divide the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes. In this case, the total number of possible outcomes is the number of marbles in the bag, which is 20. The number of favorable outcomes for picking a red marble is the number of red marbles in the bag, which is 8. So, we have:

P (red) = 8/20 = 2/5

So, the probability of picking a red marble is 2/5. To find the probability of picking a blue or green marble, we need to add the probabilities of picking a blue marble and a green marble. The number of favorable outcomes for picking a blue marble is the number of blue marbles in the bag, which is 6. The number of favorable outcomes for picking a green marble is also 6. So, we have:

P (blue) = 6/20 = 3/10

P (green) = 6/20 = 3/10

P (blue or green) = P (blue) + P (green) = 3/10 + 3/10 = 6/10 = 3/5

So, the probability of picking a blue or a green marble is 3/5.

Tip : To add fractions with the same denominator, add the numerators and keep the denominator. To add fractions with different denominators, you must first find a common denominator.

7. Geometry and measurement word problem

A rectangular prism has a length of 10 cm, a width of 6 cm, and a height of 4 cm. What is its volume? What is its surface area?

Solution: The volume of a rectangular prism is given by the formula: length × width × height. In this case, the length is 10 cm, the width is 6 cm, and the height is 4 cm. Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is:

10 cm × 6 cm × 4 cm = 240 cm³

The surface area of a rectangular prism can be calculated using the formula: 2lw + 2lh + 2wh, where l is length, w is width, and h, is height. In this case, we have:

2(10 cm × 6 cm) + 2(10 cm × 4 cm) + 2(6 cm × 4 cm) = 248 cm²

Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is  240 cubic centimeters , and its surface area is  248 square centimeters .

8. Addition and Subtraction Word Problem

Lucy has 12 red apples and 8 green apples in her basket. She gives 5 red apples and 3 green apples to her friend Amy. How many apples does Lucy have left in her basket?

Solution: To solve this problem, we need to use addition and subtraction. First, we need to find out how many apples Lucy had before giving some to Amy. We can do this by adding the number of red apples and the number of green apples:

12 + 8 = 20

Lucy had 20 apples in total.

Next, we will determine how many apples Lucy gave Amy in total. We can do this by adding the number of red apples and the number of green apples that she gave:

Lucy gave 8 apples to Amy.

Finally, we will find out how many apples Lucy has left in her basket. We can do this by subtracting the number of apples that she gave from the number of apples that she had:

20 - 8 = 12

Lucy has 12 apples left in her basket.

Tip : When solving word problems involving addition and subtraction, it helps to identify the keywords that indicate what operation to use. For example, words like "in total," "altogether," "combined," or "sum" indicate addition, while words like "left," "remain," "difference," or "take away" indicate subtraction.

9. Multiplication and Division Word Problem

A pack of pencils contains 12 pencils. How many packs of pencils are needed to supply a class of 30 students if each student needs 2 pencils?

Solution: To solve this problem, we will use multiplication and division. First, we will determine how many pencils are needed for the class. We can do this by multiplying the number of students by the number of pencils per student:

30 x 2 = 60

The class needs 60 pencils in total.

Next, we will determine how many packs are needed to provide 60 pencils. We can do this by dividing the number of pencils by the number of pencils per pack:

60 ÷ 12 = 5

The class needs 5 packs of pencils.

Tip : When solving word problems involving multiplication and division, it helps to identify the keywords that indicate what operation to use. For example, words like "each," "per," "every," or "times" indicate multiplication, while words like "how many,” "groups," "quotient," or "divide" indicate division.

10. Fractions and Decimals Word Problem

A pizza is cut into 8 equal slices. John eats 3 slices, Mary eats 2 slices, and Tom eats 1 slice. What fraction of the pizza is left? What decimal number is equivalent to this fraction?

Solution : To solve this problem, we will use fractions and decimals. First, we will find out how many slices of pizza are left. We can do this by subtracting the number of slices that were eaten from the total number of slices:

8 - (3 + 2 + 1) = 8 - 6 = 2

There are 2 slices of pizza left.

Next, we will find out what fraction of the pizza is left. We can do this by writing the number of slices left as the numerator and the total number of slices as the denominator:

This fraction represents the part of the pizza that is left.

Finally, we will determine what decimal number is equivalent to this fraction. We can do this by dividing the numerator by the denominator:

2 ÷ 8 = 0.25

This decimal number represents the same part of the pizza that is left.

Tip : When solving word problems involving fractions and decimals, it helps to remember that fractions and decimals are different ways of representing parts of a whole.

To convert a fraction to a decimal, you can divide the numerator by the denominator.

To convert a decimal to a fraction, write the decimal as a numerator over a denominator of a power of ten (such as 10, 100, or 1000) and simplify if possible.

Converting Fractions into Decimals – Methods, Facts, Examples

What is fractions-to-decimals conversion, how to convert fractions into decimals, when do fractions turn into terminating and repeating decimals, solved examples on converting fractions into decimals, practice problems on converting fractions into decimals, frequently asked questions about converting fractions into decimals.

Converting a fraction into its equivalent decimal form is known as fraction-to-decimal conversion. Converting fractions to decimals allows for more accurate and precise mathematical calculations. 

Fraction to a decimal formula is given as a ÷ b, where a is the numerator and b is the denominator of the fraction. In simple words, to turn fractions into decimals, we simply divide the numerator by the denominator.

In this conversion, you express a fraction as a decimal number with a whole number part and a decimal part.

Example: When you convert the fraction $\frac{3}{4}$ to a decimal, you get 0.75. Here, 0 is the whole number part, and 0.75 is the decimal part.

There’s no specific fraction-to-decimal formula for conversion. Let’s learn two ways to turn fractions into decimals:

1. Long division method

2. By converting the denominator of the fraction into a power of 10

How to Convert Fractions into Decimals Using the Long Division Method

In this method, we treat the numerator as a dividend and the denominator as the divisor . We carry out the long division till we get 0 as the remainder or at least three decimal places in the quotient. Using the long division method, let’s take examples to understand how to convert a fraction into a decimal. 

Example 1: Find the decimal form of the fraction $\frac{7}{5}$ using the long division method.

Example 2: Find the decimal form of the fraction $\frac{3}{5}$ using the long division method.

Example 3: Convert $\frac{2}{11}$ into a decimal.

How to Convert Fractions into Decimals by Changing the Denominator into a Power of 10

In this method, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by an appropriate number such that the denominator changes into a power of 10. Simply put, we try to convert the fraction into a decimal fraction. A fraction whose denominator is a power of 10 can be easily converted into a decimal by simply moving the decimal point.

Note: 

• When we multiply both the numerator and denominator by the same number, we are not changing the value of the fraction. We are just finding the equivalent fraction with the denominator as a power of 10.
• This method is perfect for fractions whose denominator can be changed into a power of 10. For fractions like $\frac{3}{7}$ or  $\frac{1}{3}$ , this method is not suitable.

Example 1: Convert $\frac{4}{5}$ into a decimal.

Numerator $= 4$

Denominator $= 5$

Think of a number by which we can multiply 5 to turn it into a power of 10.

5 times 2 is 10.

$5 \times 2 = 10$

Thus, multiply the numerator and denominator by 2.

$\frac{4}{5} = \frac{4 \times 2}{5 \times 2} = \frac{8}{10} = 0.8$

Example 2: Find the decimal form of the fraction $\frac{3}{8}$ .

Numerator $= 3$

Denominator $= 8$

We know that $8 \times 125 = 1000$

Thus, multiply the numerator and denominator by 125.

$\frac{3}{8} = \frac{3 \times 125}{8 \times 125} = \frac{375}{1000} = 0.375$

Fraction-to-Decimal Chart

The Fraction to Decimal chart simplifies the conversion by displaying common fractions and their decimal equivalents.

• In proper fractions, the numerator is less than the denominator. Thus, the resulting decimals are also less than 1.
• In improper fractions, the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator. Thus, the resulting decimals are greater than or equal to 1.

Let’s convert some common fractions to decimals and list them in a chart.

• If the denominator of the fraction in its lowest form has the prime factorization consisting only of 2s and/or 5s, then the fraction results in a terminating decimal. 

Example: $\frac{7}{16}$

The fraction is already in its lowest form.

Denominator $= 16 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2$

The prime factorization of the denominator only contains 2s.

$\frac{7}{16} = \frac{7 \times 625}{16 \times 625} = \frac{4375}{10,000} = 0.4375$ …terminating decimal

• If the denominator of the fraction in its lowest form has the prime factorization consisting of factors other than 2s and 5s, then the fraction results in a repeating decimal. 

Example : $\frac{10}{24}$

$\frac{10}{24}$ in lowest form $= \frac{5}{12}$

Denominator $= 12 = 2 \times 2 \times 3$

The prime factorization of the denominator has 2s and 3s.

$\frac{10}{24} = \frac{5}{12} = 0.416$ …repeating decimal

Facts about Converting Fractions into Decimals

• Reducing fractions to the lowest terms simplifies division by making numbers smaller and more manageable.
• Fraction-to-decimal conversion involves expressing a fraction as a decimal number.
• Proper fractions always result in decimal values less than 1.
• Improper fractions can give decimal values equal to or greater than 1.
• The decimal value of a fraction is determined by dividing the numerator by the denominator.
• Some fractions, when converted into decimals, result in repeating or recurring decimals.
• Equivalent fractions have the same decimal representation.

In this article, we learned about the fraction-to-decimal conversion with two methods and several examples. Let’s take a look at a few more solved examples and practice problems for better comprehension.

Example 1: Convert $\frac{2}{5}$ into decimal form using the long division method.

$\frac{2}{5}$

To convert $\frac{2}{5}$ to a decimal, divide the numerator 2 by the denominator 5. 

$\frac{2}{5} = 0.4$

Example 2: Find the decimal form of $\frac{9}{25}$ .

Numerator $= 9$

Denominator $= 25$

We know that “25 times 4 is 100.”

Thus, multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 4.

$\frac{9}{25} = \frac{9 \times 4}{25 \times 4 = \frac{36}{100} = 0.36$ 

Thus, $\frac{9}{25} = 0.36$

Example 3. Compare $\frac{11}{20}$ and 0.5.

Let’s convert $\frac{11}{20}$ into a decimal form to compare it with 0.5 easily.

To convert $\frac{11}{20}$ to a decimal, multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 5.

$\frac{11}{20} = \frac{11 \times 5}{20 \times 5} = \frac{55}{100} = 0.55$

We know that 0.5 < 0.55

Thus, 0.5 < 11 20 .
