Fractions into Decimals into Percents

directions: write each fraction as a decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth.
a. 3/8


When turning a fraction into a decimal you have to divide the top Number ( numerator) by the bottom number (denominator). So for example you would divide 8 divided by 3. you get the answer 2.6666666. to round to the nearest hundredth you round to the second number after the decimal. so it would round to 2.67 is the first answer.

CHANGING DECIMALS INTO FRACTIONS
Directions:change .10 into a faction

Move the decimal over twice to the right and put the number(10) over 100 and then reduce the fraction. 10/100 reduces to 1/10.

CHANGING A FRACTION INTO A PERCENT
When you are changing a fraction into a percent you have to divide the numerator into the demoninator and this will give you a decimal answer. Move the decimal point in this answer twice to the left and you now have our percent.

Here are some online tutoring sites I recommend for more help.
