Learn how to turn a decimal number into a fraction and a percentage. Steps.
1. How to write the number as a percentage:
- Multiply the number by 100. Then add the percent sign, %.
2. How to write the number as a fraction:
- Write down the number divided by 1, as a fraction.
- Turn the top number into a whole number: multiply both the top and the bottom by the same number.
- Reduce (simplify) the above fraction to the lowest terms, to its simplest equivalent form, irreducible. To reduce a fraction divide the numerator and the denominator by their greatest (highest) common factor (divisor), GCF.
- If the fraction is an improper one, rewrite it as a mixed number (mixed fraction).
- Calculate equivalent fractions. By expanding it we can build up equivalent fractions: multiply the numerator & the denominator by the same number.
