1 . rational numbers? How can you use a number line to order The word rational comes from the word ratio. Recall that you can write a ratio using fraction notation. If you sleep for hours in a day, then the ratio of your sleeping time to the total hours in a day can be written as Rational h h. A rational number is a number that can be written as the ratio of two integers. = = = 0. = ACTIVITY: Ordering Work in groups of five. Order the numbers from least to greatest. Use masking tape and a marker to make a number line on the floor similar to the one shown Write the numbers on pieces of paper. Then each person should choose one. COMMON CORE In this lesson, you will understand that a rational number is an integer divided by an integer. convert rational numbers to decimals. Learning Standards 7.NS.b 7.NS.d Stand on the location of your number on the number line. Use your positions to order the numbers from least to greatest. a. 0.,.,, 0., b. 7,.,, 0,. c..,, 9,, 0.9 d., 0.7,, 0.,. Chapter

ACTIVITY: The Game of Math Card War Math Practice Consider Similar Problems What are some ways to determine which number is greater? Preparation: Cut index cards to make 0 playing cards.

The winner collects both cards and places them at the bottom of his or her cards. Suppose there is a tie. Each player lays three cards facedown, then a new card faceup.

2 ACTIVITY: The Game of Math Card War Math Practice Consider Similar Problems What are some ways to determine which number is greater? Preparation: Cut index cards to make 0 playing cards. Write each number in the table on a card. To Play: Play with a partner. Deal 0 cards to each player facedown. Each player turns one card faceup. The player with the greater number wins. The winner collects both cards and places them at the bottom of his or her cards. Suppose there is a tie. Each player lays three cards facedown, then a new card faceup. The player with the greater of these new cards wins. The winner collects all ten cards and places them at the bottom of his or her cards. Continue playing until one player has all the cards. This player wins the game IN YOUR OWN WORDS How can you use a number line to order rational numbers? Give an example. The numbers are in order from least to greatest.

3 . Lesson Lesson Tutorials Key Vocabulary rational number, p. terminating decimal, p. repeating decimal, p. A rational number is a number that can be written as a where a and b are b integers and b 0.. Integers 0 0 Whole Numbers. Because you can divide any integer by any nonzero integer, you can use long division to write fractions and mixed numbers as decimals. These decimals are also rational numbers and will either terminate or repeat. A terminating decimal is a decimal that ends.., 0., 0. A repeating decimal is a decimal that has a pattern that repeats..... = = 0. Use bar notation to show which of the digits repeat. EXAMPLE Writing as Decimals a. Write as a decimal. b. Write as a decimal. Notice that = 9. Divide by. 0. ).0000 Divide 9 by.. ) The remainder is 0. So, it 0 The remainder repeats. So, is a terminating decimal. 0 it is a repeating decimal. So, =.. So, = 0.. Exercises Write the rational number as a decimal Chapter

4 EXAMPLE Writing a Decimal as a Fraction Write 0. as a fraction in simplest form. Study Tip If p and q are integers, then p q = p q = p q. 0. = 00 = 0 Write the digits after the decimal point in the numerator. The last digit is in the hundredths place. So, use 00 in the denominator. Simplify. Exercises 0 7 Write the decimal as a fraction or a mixed number in simplest form EXAMPLE Ordering Creature Elevation (kilometers) The table shows the elevations of four sea creatures relative to sea level. Which of the sea creatures are deeper than the whale? Explain. Anglerfish 0 Squid Shark Whale 0. Write each rational number as a decimal. 0 =. =. = 0. Then graph each decimal on a number line.. Squid..0. Anglerfish. Whale 0. Shark Elevation (kilometers) Both. and. are less than 0.. So, the squid and the anglerfish are deeper than the whale. Exercises 9. WHAT IF? The elevation of a dolphin is kilometer. Which of the 0 sea creatures in Example are deeper than the dolphin? Explain. Section. 7

5 . Exercises Help with Homework. VOCABULARY Is the quotient of two integers always a rational number? Explain.. WRITING Are all terminating and repeating decimals rational numbers? Explain. Tell whether the number belongs to each of the following number sets: rational numbers, integers, whole numbers Tell whether the decimal is terminating or repeating (-)= +(-)= +(-9)= 9+(-)= Write the rational number as a decimal ERROR ANALYSIS Describe and correct the error in writing the rational number as a decimal. 7 = 0.
