Two musicians describe the numbers in music
and demonstrate how musical phrases are divided
and how rhythm can be expressed as a fraction.
One of the musicians tells of a percentage problem
that cost him money.
A baker says he has to understand the proportion
of ingredients in order to bake, describes the
“baker’s percentage,” and reveals how he figures
fractions.
Other workers show how and why they work
with fractions, decimals, percentages, and rates.
