FROM FRACTION TO DECIMAL

The easiest way to convert a fraction to a decimal is to divide the top number
by the bottom number (divide the numerator by the denominator in
mathematical language)

Example: Convert 2/5 to a decimal

Divide 2 by 5: 2 ÷ 5 = 0.4

Answer: 2/5 = 0.4

FROM DECIMAL TO FRACTION

To convert a decimal to a fraction needs a little more work.

Example: To convert 0.75 to a fraction


Steps Example
0.75
First, write down the decimal "over" the number 1
1

Multiply top and bottom by 10 for every number after the 0.75 × 100
decimal point (10 for 1 number, 100 for 2 numbers, etc) 1 × 100
75
(This makes a correctly formed fraction)
100
3
Then Simplify the fraction

FROM FRACTION TO PERCENTAGE

The easiest way to convert a fraction to a percentage is to divide the top


number by the bottom number. then multiply the result by 100, and add the
"%" sign.

Example: Convert 3/8 to a percentage

First divide 3 by 8: 3 ÷ 8 = 0.375,


Then multiply by 100: 0.375 x 100 = 37.5
Add the "%" sign: 37.5%

Answer: 3/8 = 37.5%

FROM PERCENTAGE TO FRACTION

Example: To convert 80% to a fraction


Steps Example
Convert 80% to a decimal (=80/100): 0.8

0.8
Write down the decimal "over" the number 1
1

Multiply top and bottom by 10 for every number after the 0.8 × 10
decimal point (10 for 1 number, 100 for 2 numbers, etc) 1 × 10
8
(This makes a correctly formed fraction)
10
4
Then Simplify the fraction
