Decimal Worksheet 5

Convert the percents into decimals

Copyright © 2010 Golda Mowe,

0.2 is equivalent to 20/100, so the best way to convert a fraction to a decimal is to multiply the both the top and bottom number of the fraction with the same number until the bottom number becomes 100. For example 6/25 should be multiplied with 4 to make 25 into 100. Hence 6/25 x (4/4) = 24/100 which is 0.24. However, if you have something like 12/16, simplify the fraction first to 3/4 then multiply this with 25/25 to get 75/100 which is 0.75.
