fractions?
- What strategy(s) can you use to order fractions

3. Compare the Following...
⅔ [] ¼ ⅜ [] ⅖ ⅙ [] ⅗

4. Order the following...
⅛, ¾, ½, ⅗

5. How would you convert a fraction into a decimal?
How would you convert a decimal into a fraction?

6. Convert the following...
0.3, 0.75
¼ , ⅖

7. Converting to Decimal numbers into percentages
A percent is always out of 100, so when we are converting a decimal into a percent, what operant do you think we use? Hint, think about the value of decimal numbers.

8. If a percent is always out of 100, what do you think we would multiply the decimal number by?

9. Converting Decimals
When converting a decimal number into a percent, you need to multiply the decimal number by 100.
For example, 0.7x100= 70%

10. How many places did we move the decimal
0.7x100= 7 0

11. If we are moving two decimal places to convert a decimal into a percent, what percentage would this number convert to?
0.07?

12. Practise…
Convert the following into a percentage:
0.74, 0.03, 0.67

13. Converting a Fraction into a Percent
- When converting a fraction into a percent, you need to divide the numerator by the denominator
- That will give you a decimal number
For example, ¼ would be 1÷4= 0.25
- What do you think the next step would be?

14. Next, you would multiply the decimal number by 100 in order to convert it into a percent

15. - If we need to multiply decimals by 100 to get a percent, what operant do you think we would use to convert a percent into a decimal?

16. Percents to Decimals and Fractions
- To convert a percent into a decimal, you divide the number by 100.
- 70% ÷ 100 = 0.07

17. Once the number is in a decimal, you can put it in a fraction.
70% ÷ 100 = 0.7
0.7 = 70/100 = 7/10
