Article: A fraction is a comparison between two numbers, usually representing the size of a part of something to the size of the whole thing. The classic example is a pie that is cut into eight, for example, equal portions. The top of the fraction, called the numerator, represents the number of pieces you select. The bottom of the fraction, called the denominator, represents the total number of pieces in the pie - in this case, 8. For example, the fraction 1/8 represents one piece of the pie that has been cut in eight pieces. The fraction 7/8 represents 7 pieces, almost the full pie. A percentage is a special kind of fraction in which the denominator is always set at 100. While this is not practical when cutting slices of an actual pie, the concept of percentages is much more useful because it is standard. If you are presented with any fraction, you can very easily convert it to a decimal number using any calculator. Just recognize that a fraction represents a division problem, and use your calculator to divide the numerator by the denominator. Your calculator will give you the decimal equivalent of the fraction. If you have a number that is already represented by a decimal, converting that to a percentage is easy. Because the decimal numbering system is based on factors of 10, you can transform a decimal number into a percentage by simply shifting the decimal point by two spaces to the right and then adding a% sign. If your decimal number consists of only one digit, you can add 0's on the right of the number, such as turning 0.5 into 0.50 or even 0.500. These all have the same numerical value. It is useful if you can memorize the percentage representations of certain basic fractions. Because the denominator for a percentage is always 100, certain values are constant.

Article: Try your hand at knitting and crocheting with your new yarn. Dog yarn is soft and warm, and it easily repels water, so try making a hat or scarf with the yarn. You can even make a pair of socks or gloves to keep yourself warm! If you have a lot of yarn from the fur, you can make a sweater or a blanket. Even when the yarn is made, the dog fur might still be susceptible to mold and mildew if it gets wet. When you aren't using the bundles of yarn, keep them somewhere dry with good air circulation. If you have to put the yarn in a bag to store it, use a bag made of a breathable fabric, like cotton. Try to keep the yarn out of reach of pets, since they may still be able to smell some of their own scent on the fibers and might want to play with the bundles of yarn!
