C955 Module 2: Fractions, Decimals & Percentages

ratio - correct answer--Measures one quantity in relation to another quantity. rate - correct answer--A ratio that compares two quantities having different units of measure. cross multiplying - correct answer--A method used to prove that a proportion is true. butterfly method - correct answer--Cross-multiplication method used to determine whether two fractions are equal. The numerator of one fraction is multiplied by the denominator of the opposite fraction on both sides. place value - correct answer--Describes what part of the whole the decimal represents. denominator - correct answer--The number written after the slash, or below the fraction bar, in a fraction. terminal decimal - correct answer--A decimal number that has a finite number of digits. proper fraction - correct answer--A fraction where the number in the numerator is less than the number in the denominator. multiple - correct answer--A multiple of an integer is that integer multiplied by another integer. For example, 28 is a multiple of 7 because 28 = 7*4. unit multiplier - correct answer--A fraction that contains two equivalent quantities but in two different units, used in order to convert units. percent proportion - correct answer--Proportion that is equivalent to the given ratio but has a denominator of 100. So the Percent Proportion of 3/5 is 60/100. least common multiple (LCM) - correct answer--The smallest number in value that is a multiple of two or more numbers.
