Fractions, decimals, and percents are all parts of


a whole. They are also related and can be
converted back and forth.
PERCENTAGE
DECIMAL
Decimals
Decimals are like fractions because they also represent parts of a
whole, however, decimals use the base ten system by place value.
The place is named by the furthest right number.

.01234
tenths, hundredths, thousandths, ten thousandths, hundred thousandths…….

0.1 is said “one tenth” because the furthest right number is in the tenth place .

0.17 is said “seventeen hundredths” for the same reason,


How would we say 0.83 “Eighty-three hundredths”
How would we say 0.015? “fifteen thousandths,”
Converting decimals to fractions
Converting decimals to fractions is easy because all we have to do
is read the decimal and it sounds the same as when we read the
fraction.

10
We read 0.3 as “three tenths.” which is

0.41 is read “forty-one hundredths.” 41


100
Converting Fractions to Decimals
If the fraction has a denominator in base ten (10, 100, 1,000 etc.)
It works the same way.

7 is 0.07 both are read “seven hundredths.”


100
If the fraction does not have a base ten denominator, you must
use long division until you get a repeating or terminating decimal.
Converting Numbers into Percents
• When you have a fraction with a denominator in base 10
(10, 100, 1,000), numbers can be easily converted into
percents.
• The word percent literally means per hundred.
• 40means you have 40 per hundred or 40%
100
• How could we easily find what percent is? 7

Converting Decimals to Percents
0.72 means 72 per hundred or 72%.
What happens if we have 0.851

How many hundredths are there? 85

The left over is just a decimal 85.1%

An easy rule for converting decimals to percents is to simply move


the decimal 2 places right.
1) 100 10 100 100

2) 200 10 200 100

3) What fraction of the hundred square is shaded?


Write the fraction as a decimal.
1) 100 10 10 100 100 1

2) 200 10 20 200 100 2
