Conversion Methods and Representations

This page details various methods for converting between different numerical representations and introduces common percentage values.

Vocabulary: Per mille form refers to expressing a percentage as parts per thousand.

Definition: Converting between forms involves systematic steps: percent to decimal requires division by 100, while percent to fraction involves writing the number over an appropriate power of 10.

Highlight: Percentages can be written in multiple forms:

  • Decimal form (25% = 0.25)
  • Fraction form (75% = 75/100)
  • Ratio form (60% = 60:100)
  • Per mille form (5% = 50 per mille)

Example: Common percentages and their fraction equivalents:

  • 25% = 1/4 (quarter)
  • 50% = 1/2 (half)
  • 75% = 3/4 (three quarters)
Percents → To convert percents to fractions: 1. Remove the percentage sigh and write the # as a decimal 2. Convert the decimal to fraction b

Additional Common Percentages

This page completes the list of common percentage values and their equivalent representations in fraction form.

Highlight: Understanding these common conversions helps in quick mental calculations and real-world applications.

Example: Additional common percentages include:

  • 33.33% = 1/3
  • 90% = 90/100
  • 5% = 5/100 or 1/20

Converting Percentages to Other Forms

This page introduces fundamental concepts for converting percentages to fractions and decimals. The process is explained through detailed steps and practical examples.

Definition: A percentage represents a portion of a whole, expressed as a number out of 100.

Example: Converting 75% to a fraction involves removing the percentage sign (75), writing it as a decimal (0.75), and then expressing it as a fraction (75/100).

Highlight: To convert percentages to decimals, simply divide the percentage number by 100 (e.g., 25% = 25 ÷ 100 = 0.25).

Example: When calculating percentages of whole numbers, like finding 20% of 150, first convert the percentage to a decimal (0.2) and then multiply by the whole number (150) to get 30.
