Percents, Fractions, and Decimals
Learning Objective
I can convert percents greater than 100% and less than 1% into equivalent fractions and decimals.
Key Concepts
To convert a percent less than 1% to a decimal, move the decimal point two places to the left and drop the percent sign.
To convert 1/4% into a decimal, rewrite it as 0.25%, move the decimal two places to the left, and the result is 0.0025.
To convert a decimal greater than one to a percent, move the decimal point two places to the right, which is the same as multiplying by 100, and add the percent sign.
