Fractions represent a numerical value as parts of a whole, where the denominator indicates how many parts the whole is divided into and the numerator indicates how many parts are represented. Decimals separate the whole number part from the fractional part with a decimal point. Percentages express a number as a fraction of 100, often denoted with a percent sign. Fractions can be converted to decimals by dividing the numerator by the denominator or by multiplying the numerator and denominator by a number to make the denominator a power of ten before placing the decimal point. Decimals can be converted to percentages by moving the decimal point two places to the right and adding a percent sign, or percentages can be made into decimals by moving the decimal point two places left and removing

a numerical value, can be defined as the parts of a whole. A fraction can be a portion or section of any quantity out of a whole, where, the whole can be any number, a specific value, or a thing. PARTS OF FRACTIONS The denominator indicates how many parts the whole has been divided into. It is placed in the lower part of the fraction.
The numerator indicates how many
sections of the fraction are represented. It is placed in the upper part of the whole. DECIMALS In algebra, a decimal number can be defined as a number whose whole number part and the fractional part is separated by a decimal point. PERCENTAGE is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100. It is often denoted using the percent sign, "%" FRACTIONS TO DECIMALS a. To convert fraction to decimal number divide numerator by denominator. FRACTIONS TO DECIMALS b. Another Method Find a number you can multiply by the bottom of the fraction to make it 10, or 100, or 1000, or any 1 followed by 0s. Multiply both top and bottom by that number. • Write down just the top number, putting the decimal point in the correct spot (one space from the right side for every zero in the bottom number). Decimal to percent • Move the decimal point two places to the right and put percent sign. Percent to Decimal • Move the decimal point two places to the left or divide the percent by 100 and remove the percent sign.
