In this lesson, you're going to learn how to change FRACTIONS to PERCENTS and vice versa.
In previous conversions, you only needed one step to do your conversions. Here, however, you cannot do the conversion directly; you need an intermediate step, a stepping stone.
To change FRACTIONS to PERCENTS, follow these simple steps:
Step 1. Change the fraction to decimal.
Step 2. Change the decimal to percent.
Examples:
To change PERCENTS to FRACTIONS, follow these simple steps:
Step 1. Change the percent to decimal.
Step 2. Change the decimal to fraction.
Examples:
If the percent involves a repeating decimal, just use the fraction (change to improper fraction if it's a mixed number) and multiply by
.
Example:
To change PERCENTS to FRACTIONS, follow these simple steps:
Step 1. Change the percent to decimal.
Step 2. Change the decimal to fraction.
Examples:
If the percent involves a repeating decimal, just use the fraction (change to improper fraction if it's a mixed number) and multiply by.
