Converting decimals,fractions,percents

Converting is not as tough as it looks, keep reading and I'll show you how to convert.
Converting means to change a fraction,decimal or a percent.

Converting fractions to decimals. 

You will need your numerator and your denominator (The numerator is how much pieces your using, the denominator is how much you have) and divide them both, ex. 3 divided by 12 is 0.25 (when were talking about fractions, that line in between the two numbers always means divide). 

Converting decimals to fractions.

There is not really an explanation of how to convert or change decimals to fractions.You just have to say it (ex. o.5= 5/10 (5 tenths), 0.32= 32/100 (32 hundreths).

Decimals to percents.

Decimals to percents are most likely the easiest "topic" to do when your converting. Just multiply the decimal by 100 and get the percentage of it. (ex. 0.40x100=40%, 0.64x100=64%)

Percents to Decimals.

Percents to decimals is exactly like decimals to percent but only opposite when it comes to multiplying. In this case (Percents to decimals) you will have to divide. (ex. 68 divided by 100=0.68, 9 divided by 100= 0.09, etc.

Percents to fraction.

The max pieces we have (or 100%) will be the denominator and how much we have (percentage) will be our numerator. ex. 60%=60/100, 12%=12/100.(Remember, denominator= how much pieces we have, numerator=how much pieces we are using.)

Thanks for reading,hope I helped you out by even just a bit. 

Have a great day,

Adding Decimals:

ex. 0.2 + 0.4 = 0.6

add 2 plus 4 to get 6 then add 0 plus 0 to get 0. then your answer is 0.6.


Subracting Decimals:

ex. 0.3 - 0.2 = 0.1

subtract 3 by 2 to get the number 1 then subract 0 minus 0 to get 0. Then your answer is 0.1.


Multiplying Decimals:

ex. 16.1 x 2.4 = 38.64           16.1
                                            x  2.4   
                                               644   
                                           +3220
                                            38.64

Multiply 4 by 1 to get 4 then multiply 6 by 4 to get 24, carry the 2. multiply 4 by 1 plus 2 to get 6 which equals to 644
start a new row, put 0 at the ones place. then multiply 2 by 1 to get 2 then multiply 2 by 6 to get 12 carry the 1 to get 3 which equals to 3220. now add 644 with 3220 to get the answer of 38.64.


Dividing Decimals:
                                                             6.23 
ex. 31.773 divided by 5.1 =       51  317.73
                                                        -306     
                                                         0117
                                                        -  102   
                                                             153
                                                        -   153  
                                                            000
 Remember :
Move the decimal to the right.

To get the answer you need to know how many 51 is in 317 which is 6. then multiply 6 by 1 from 51 then multiply 6 by 5 to get 30 now put them together to get 306. then subract 317 by 306 to get 11 then lower the 7 from 317.73. now calculate how many 51 is in 117 which is 2. now multiply 2 by 1 to get 2 then multiply 2 by 5 to get 10. now put 10 and 2 together which is 102. then subtract 117 by 102 to get 15 then lower the 3 to get the total of 153. then calculate how many 51 is in 153 which is 3. now multiply 3 by 1 to get 3 then multiply 3 by 5 to get 15. now put 15 and 3 together to get 153. then subrtact 153 by 153 which is 0 and that is where you stop and get your answer.
