Explanation:

Convert fractions to decimals

Convert each rational number to a decimal. Round to two decimal places or use a bar for repeating decimals.

1. \(\frac{1}{4} = 0.25\)
2. \(\frac{4}{9} = 0.\bar{4}\)
3. \(\frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3} = 0.\bar{3}\)
4. \(\frac{2}{5} = 0.4\)
5. \(\frac{3}{4} = 0.75\)
6. \(\frac{7}{8} = 0.875 \approx 0.88\) (or \(0.875\))

Identify independent and dependent clauses

An independent clause expresses a complete thought. A dependent clause has a subject and a verb but does not express a complete thought. Write I for independent, D for dependent.

1. "When Buster grew tired of chasing after the ball" -> Starts with subordinating conjunction "When". It is a dependent clause (D).
2. "She was not fearful of the dentist during her checkup this year" -> Expresses a complete thought. It is an independent clause (I).
3. "Because she cannot help crying at sad movies" -> Starts with subordinating conjunction "Because". It is a dependent clause (D).

Circle independent and underline dependent clauses

Identify the clauses in each sentence.

1. "I want to be the first to volunteer whenever the teacher asks for help."

• Independent: "I want to be the first to volunteer"
• Dependent: "whenever the teacher asks for help"

1. "When monsoon season begins, the humidity makes the air uncomfortable."

• Independent: "the humidity makes the air uncomfortable"
• Dependent: "When monsoon season begins"

1. "Pizza is Crawford's choice for dinner, but only if it has a thin crust."

• Independent: "Pizza is Crawford's choice for dinner"
• Dependent: "but only if it has a thin crust" (or "if it has a thin crust")

Analyze complex sentences

Circle each independent clause and underline each dependent clause.

1. "We stopped playing and sought shelter when the storm began."

• Independent: "We stopped playing and sought shelter"
• Dependent: "when the storm began"

1. "Gabe hopped off his skateboard so that his friend could use it."

• Independent: "Gabe hopped off his skateboard"
• Dependent: "so that his friend could use it"

1. "If we fail to finish our project tonight, we will not be in Mrs. Hooper's good graces tomorrow."

• Independent: "we will not be in Mrs. Hooper's good graces tomorrow"
• Dependent: "If we fail to finish our project tonight"
