Fractions, Decimals, Percents

I know fractions and decimals are not the most exciting concepts to learn, but they are important.

Trust me.

Use this as an example: 100% = 1.00 = 100/100

Percent means, "out of 100."



Some tips to remember;

Change Fraction to Decimal: "top in the box"

Example: 1/2 = 1 divided by 2 = 0.5

Change Fraction to a Percent: "top in the box", Move the decimal over to the RIGHT twice.

Example: 3/4 = 3 divided by 4 = 0.75 = 75%

Change Decimal to Fraction: Look at the place value and put it over either 10, 100, 1000, or so on

Example: 0.08 = 8/100 = 2/25

Change Decimal to Percent: Move the decimal over twice to the RIGHT

Example: 0.1 = 10 %

Change Percent to a Decimal: Move the decimal over tice to the LEFT

Example: 45.7% = 0.457

Change Percent to a Fraction: Put the number over 100 and reduce, if necessary, to its simplest form.

Example: 26% = 26/100 = 13/50
