Additionally, all fractions can be written in decimal form and as percentages. Converting from fractions to decimal form is simply the process of division. Converting from decimal form to percentages is just multiplication by 100%. ◊ Examples: 44 1 = 1 = 100% 1 1 = 0. 333 = 33. 3% 3 2 = 2 = 200% 1 1 = 05 . = 50% 2 1 = 025 . = 25% 4 5 = 25 . = 250% 2 Another way of thinking of fractions is how many times something occurs per hundred events. As such, it is easy to convert fractions to percentages when the denominator is a factor of 10. (You should notice that this process is equivalent to counting the number of decimal point shifts.) ◊ Examples: 7 = 007 . = 7% 100 43 1000 43 . = = 0. 043 = 43 . % 100 2 10 16 10 20 = = 02 . = 20% 100 160 = = 16 . = 160% 100 Pegasus Lectures, Inc.
