percent ;
2. change decimals to fractions and percent to
fractions; and
3. apply knowledge of conversion to business
problems.

Converting Fractions to
Decimal
To reduce fractions into decimal,
we simply perform division.

If we want to change into decimal, we divide 3

by 4: 0.75
4 3.00
-0
30 Therefore, = 0.75
- 28
20
- 20
0
Converting Fractions to
Percent
To convert fractions into percent,
we change the fractions into decimal
(by performing division),

and move the decimal point

two places to the right,

then affix the percent symbol (%).

Converting Fractions to
Percent

Examples:

1.
Converting Decimals to
Fraction

To change decimals to fraction,

we convert a decimal into a fraction
with a denominator in multiples of 10
(10, 100, 1000, etc.)

and reduce the said fraction

into lowest terms.
 Converting Decimals to
Fraction
Example:
1. 0.75 = 0.75 has two decimal
= places. Our denominator
= has to have two zeroes;
hence 100.

0.375 has three decimal 2. 0.375 =

places. Our denominator =
should have three zeros;
=
hence, 1,000.
Converting Decimals to
Percent
To convert decimals to percent,
we move the decimal point
two places to the right

and affix the percent sign (%).

Example: 1. 0.75 = 75%

2. 1.25 = 125%
Converting Percent to
Decimals
To convert percent to decimal,
we move the decimal point
two places to the left

and we drop the percent sign (%).

This is exactly the opposite of what we did

when we converted decimals to percent.
Converting Percent to
Decimals
Examples:

1. 45% = 0.45
2. 3% = 0.03
3. 23.56% = 0.2356
4. 100% = 1
Converting Percent to
Fraction

To convert percent to fraction,

we first change percent to decimal,

then change the decimal to fraction

and reduce to lowest terms.

Converting Percent to
Fraction
Examples:
1. 14% = 0.14 = =
2. .5% = 0.005 = =
3. 125% = 1.25 = = =
4. 50% = 0.50 = =
Exercises:

1. Change 2 to decimal
2. Change to percent
3. Change 1.75 to fraction
4. Change 0.258 to percent
5. Change 6.34% to decimal
6. Change 85% to fraction
