Convert these decimals into percentages and then fractions.

Section A
Don’t forget to write the fractions in their simplest form.

12 3 70 7
Example

0.12 = 12 % = = 0.7 = 70 % = =
100 25 100 10

2 1 75 3
0.02 = 2% = = 0.75 = 75 % = =
100 50 100 4

20 1 80 4
0.2 = 20 % = = 0.8 = 80 % = =
100 5 100 5

24 6 23
0.24 = 24 % = = 0.23 = 23 % =
100 25 100

5 1 25 1
0.05 = 5% = = 0.25 = 25 % = =
100 20 100 4

67 1
