2. National Origins Formula - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Origins_Formula

   The total number of U.S. inhabitants in 1920 with national origins in quota countries was 89,506,558 so the national origins formula f expressed mathematically as f = ⁠ n / 89,506,558 ⁠ = ⁠ q / 150,000 ⁠, where n is the number of inhabitants of any given national origin and q is the quota, hence to convert n into q required ...

3. Fraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraction

   To change a common fraction to decimal notation, do a long division of the numerator by the denominator (this is idiomatically also phrased as "divide the denominator into the numerator"), and round the result to the desired precision. For example, to change ⁠ 1 / 4 ⁠ to a decimal expression, divide 1 by 4 (" 4 into 1 "), to obtain exactly ...

4. Percentage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percentage

   In general, if an increase of x percent is followed by a decrease of x percent, and the initial amount was p, the final amount is p (1 + 0.01 x)(1 − 0.01 x) = p (1 − (0.01 x) 2); hence the net change is an overall decrease by x percent of x percent (the square of the original percent change when expressed as a decimal number).

5. Percentile - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percentile

   In statistics, a k-th percentile, also known as percentile score or centile, is a score (e.g., a data point) below which a given percentage k of arranged scores in its frequency distribution falls ("exclusive" definition) or a score at or below which a given percentage falls ("inclusive" definition); i.e. a score in the k-th percentile would be above approximately k% of all scores in its set.

6. Decimal representation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_representation

   Also the converse is true: The decimal expansion of a rational number is either finite, or endlessly repeating. Finite decimal representations can also be seen as a special case of infinite repeating decimal representations. For example, 36 ⁄ 25 = 1.44 = 1.4400000...; the endlessly repeated sequence is the one-digit sequence "0".

7. Repeating decimal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repeating_decimal

   A repeating decimal or recurring decimal is a decimal representation of a number whose digits are eventually periodic (that is, after some place, the same sequence of digits is repeated forever); if this sequence consists only of zeros (that is if there is only a finite number of nonzero digits), the decimal is said to be terminating, and is not considered as repeating.
