    FROM PERCENT TO DECIMAL

    To  convert from percent to decimal : divide by 100, and remove the "%" sign.

    The easiest way to divide by 100 is to move the decimal point 2 places to
    the left:

    From To
     
    Percent Decimal
    move the decimal point 2 places to the left, and remove the
    "%" sign.

    FROM DECIMAL TO PERCENT

    To  convert from decimal to percent : multiply by 100, and add a "%" sign.

    The easiest way to multiply by 100 is to move the decimal point 2 places to
    the right:

    From To
     
    Decimal Percent
    move the decimal point 2 places to the right, and add the "%"
    sign.

     
    FROM FRACTION TO DECIMAL

    The easiest way to  convert a fraction to a decimal  is to divide the top number
    by the bottom number (divide the numerator by the denominator in
    mathematical language)

    Example: Convert 2/5 to a decimal

    Divide 2 by 5: 2 ÷ 5 = 0.4

    Answer: 2/5 = 0.4

    FROM DECIMAL TO FRACTION

    To  convert a decimal to a fraction  needs a little more work.

    Example: To convert 0.75 to a fraction


    Steps Example
    0.75
    First, write down the decimal "over" the number 1
    1
       
    Multiply top and bottom by 10 for every number after the 0.75 × 100
    decimal point (10 for 1 number, 100 for 2 numbers, etc) 1 × 100
    75
    (This makes a correctly formed fraction)
    100
    3
    Then Simplify the fraction
    4

    FROM FRACTION TO PERCENTAGE


    The easiest way to  convert a fraction to a percentage  is to divide the top
    number by the bottom number. then multiply the result by 100, and add the
    "%" sign.

    Example: Convert 3/8 to a percentage

    First divide 3 by 8: 3 ÷ 8 = 0.375,


    Then multiply by 100: 0.375 x 100 = 37.5
    Add the "%" sign: 37.5%

    Answer: 3/8 = 37.5%

    FROM PERCENTAGE TO FRACTION

    To  convert a percentage to a fraction , first convert to a decimal (divide by


    100), then use the steps for converting decimal to fractions (like above).

    Example: To convert 80% to a fraction


    Steps Example
    Convert 80% to a decimal (=80/100): 0.8
       
    0.8
    Write down the decimal "over" the number 1
    1
       
    Multiply top and bottom by 10 for every number after the 0.8 × 10
    decimal point (10 for 1 number, 100 for 2 numbers, etc) 1 × 10
    8
    (This makes a correctly formed fraction)
    10
    4
    Then Simplify the fraction
    5
