Fractions and Percents

To multiply a whole number with a fraction, first divide the whole number by the denominator of the fraction; multiply their product by the numerator

2/3 of a whole number is 2 times 1/3 of the number

For example: 8/3 x 9 = (9 ÷ 3) x 8 = (3 x 8) = 24

Percent means per hundred, or out of hundred; 1% equals 1/100

Multiplication of a whole number by a fraction can be represented through hops on a number line

The whole number tells us how many hops to make, and the fraction tells us the length of the hop

Add the fraction as many times as the number of hops taken

To add like fractions, add the numerators and retain the denominator
