Math 6A
Unit 8 - Adding and Subtracting Fractions
We don't use fractions in real life, do we???
Oh course we use fractions!! We use them all the time. Not just using measuring cups in baking or reading numbers off of a tape measure when building but they are everywhere!! The interest rates banks use are all based on fractions and you may hear them referred to as "points". The news may say, "The Federal Reserve raised interest rates by a quarter point." That means they went up by 1/4. The basic interest rates will be some multiple of 1/2, 1/4, or 1/8. |
