Fractions Decimals and Percents

This document provides a review of converting between fractions, decimals, and percents. It explains that fractions, decimals, and percents are all ways to represent parts of a whole, and outlines methods for converting between the representations, such as reading decimals as fractions, using long division to convert fractions to decimals, and moving decimals right or left two places to convert between decimals and percents. The document also includes examples of converting specific values between the different representations.

Fractions, Decimals, and Percents

Mr. Swaner
A Quick Review

 Fractions, decimals, and percents are all


parts of a whole. They are also related and
can be converted back and forth.

1 1
0 3 1
4 2 4
0 .25 .50 .75 1

0% 25% 50% 75% 100%


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.
3
 We read 0.3 as “three tenths.” which is 10

41
 0.41 is read “forty-one hundredths.”
100
 .07

 .13

 .3

 .107
Fractions in base 10

 Fractions in base 10 (denominator 10, 100,


1000……..) are easy because they are also
read the same way as decimals

Say it and Write it

Converting Fractions to Decimals
 If the fraction has a denominator in base ten
(10, 100, 1,000 etc.) It works the same way.
7
100 is 0.07 both are read “seven hundredths.”

 If the fraction does not have a base ten


denominator, you must use long division until
you get a repeating or terminating decimal.
Dividing out a Fraction
When dividing the fraction, it is important to make sure you have
the right number “in the house,” or inside the division symbol

3 house
53 house
5 basement

 I wish I could do this sometimes during the
summer!
These are called terminating
decimals
 A terminating decimal ends

 Ummmmmm it repeats. Use a bar to show it


repeats

0.33333333333333....  0.3

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.
 40 means you have 40 per hundred or 40%
100
7
 How could we easily find what percent is?
10
7 10 70

100
 70%
10 10
Converting Decimals to Percents

 Lucky for us, decimals are ALL in base ten.


 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.
Let’s Try Some
0.82  82%

0.258  25.8%

.012  1.2%
Percents to Decimals and Fractions

 To convert a percent to a decimal, we do the


reverse. Instead of moving the decimal 2
places right, we move it 2 places left and
drop the % sign.

56%  56.0%  0.56


Try One on Your Own

Convert 27% into a decimal

27%  27.0%  0.27


Now convert 0.27 into a fraction
