I. Let’s Know

In the last section, you learned one of the most important things about fractions,
decimals, and percentages. And we have seen how we can use any of these to represent the
same value, so, we certainly must be able to convert between these different ways of
representing numbers. Let us consider the example below.

Percentage Fraction Decimal

𝟑𝟎 ÷𝟏𝟎 𝟑
30% = 𝟏𝟎 0.3
𝟏𝟎𝟎 ÷𝟏𝟎

this means that 30% is 3 is in the tenths

this means 30 out of 𝟑
𝟑𝟎 place
equivalent to
100 or 𝟏𝟎
𝟏𝟎𝟎
So, we can say that…
𝟑
30% = = 0.3
𝟏𝟎
It is very easy to convert 30% to a fraction because we know that percentages are out
3
of a hundred, so 30% becomes . Then, to reduce the fraction, we can divide both numbers
10
3
by 10, that gives us . Now, let’s convert that as a decimal. Well, we know where the tenths
10

place is, so if we have three tenths, we just need to place a three in the tenths place, so zero
point three. And there we have three different ways of expressing the same value.

 And so, since this learning activity sheet involves solving problems. Let me give
you simple steps in solving word problems in Mathematics.

1. Identify the problem

✓ You need to understand what the problem is asking. And it is also

important to identify what you know, and what you need to find out. You
may underline or encircle the important information in the given word
problem.

2. Develop a solution

✓ Decide on a strategy to use. You may look for a pattern, make a table or
diagram, draw a picture, or write an equation.
✓ You may also use guess and check or working backward in the problem.

3. Evaluate and solve

✓ Set up now the appropriate math operations and formulas to solve the
problem. Perform necessary computations using the strategies in step
2.

4. Assess your answer

✓ This is the most important part, check your answer to make sure it is
correct.
✓ Read the problem again and make sure you understand the question.
✓ Check for mathematical errors including the units or labels in your final
answer.
✓ You may also consider the following questions for you to identify that
your answer is correct.
o Does your answer make sense?
o Is your answer reasonable?

So, are you now ready to solve different word problems and exercises involving
fractions, decimals, and percentages? Let’s get started, turn to the next page.
