CONVERTING A MIXED NUMBER INTO AN IMPROPER

FRACTION
5
Gillian wants to eat an apple pie so she decided to buy a 3 slices of apple buy to
6
satisfy herself. What will be the improper fraction of the slices of apple pie that
Gillian bought to satisfy herself?

Solution:
1. Multiply the whole number part by the fraction’s denominator.
3×6= 18
2. Add the product to the numerator.
18+5= 23
3. Then write the result on top of the denominator and retain the denominator.

 Nicole wants to visit her grandparents that lives in Carcar Cebu. To visit her
grandparents, Nicole needs to ride a boat for 2.30 hours and a car for 1.15 hours. How
many hours is Nicole’s journey in total to arrive at her grandparent hometown?

Solution:
2.30 hours
+ 1.15 hours
3.45 hours

Therefore 3.45 hours would be the total time in order for Nicole to arrive at her
grandparents hometown.

ADDITION OF PERCENTAGES
20.5% of a pizza is filled with pineapple and 12.16% of the pizza is filled with
meat. How many percent of the pizza is filled with pineapple and meat?
Solution:
20.50%
+ 12.26%
32.76%
Therefore 32.76% of the pizza is filled with pineapple and meat.
 SUBTRACTION OF PERCENTAGES

78.12% of the students Sci Hi are willing to volunteer in the said tree planting
while 61.6% of the students of Holy Child are willing to volunteer in the tree planting.
Who and how much is the difference of the percentage of students that are willing to
volunteer in the tree planting?
Solution:
78.12%
- 61.60%
16.52%
Therefore Sci Hi have a greater amount of students that are willing to volunteer
in the tree planting and it have a higher amount of students of 16.52%.
