Here are the solutions to the problems on the worksheet.
A) Convert the following.
1) $\frac{2}{5}$
*
Decimal: To turn a fraction into a decimal, divide the top number by the bottom number ($2 \div 5$).
$2 \div 5 = 0.4$
*
Percent: To turn a decimal into a percent, multiply by 100.
$0.4 \times 100 = 40\%$
2) $0.5$
*
Fraction: The number 5 is in the tenths place, so write it as $\frac{5}{10}$. Then simplify by dividing both numbers by 5.
$\frac{5}{10} = \frac{1}{2}$
*
Percent: Multiply the decimal by 100.
$0.5 \times 100 = 50\%$
3) $35\%$
*
Decimal: Divide the percent by 100 (move the decimal point two places to the left).
$35 \div 100 = 0.35$
*
Fraction: Write 35 over 100 ($\frac{35}{100}$). Simplify by dividing both numbers by 5.
$\frac{35 \div 5}{100 \div 5} = \frac{7}{20}$
4) $\frac{3}{12}$
*
Percent: First, simplify the fraction. Both 3 and 12 can be divided by 3.
$\frac{3}{12} = \frac{1}{4}$
We know that $\frac{1}{4}$ is equal to $25\%$.
*
Decimal: Divide 1 by 4.
$1 \div 4 = 0.25$

B) Complete the table.
Row 1)
*
Given: Decimal $0.3$
*
Fractions: $0.3$ means 3 tenths, or $\frac{3}{10}$.
*
Percents: $0.3 \times 100 = 30\%$
Row 2)
*
Given: Fraction $\frac{7}{4}$
*
Decimals: Divide 7 by 4.
$7 \div 4 = 1.75$
*
Percents: $1.75 \times 100 = 175\%$
Row 3)
*
Given: Percent $2\%$
*
Decimals: $2 \div 100 = 0.02$
*
Fractions: Write as $\frac{2}{100}$. Simplify by dividing by 2.
$\frac{2 \div 2}{100 \div 2} = \frac{1}{50}$
Row 4)
*
Given: Decimal $1.8$
*
Fractions: This is 1 and 8 tenths ($1 \frac{8}{10}$). Simplify the fraction part: $\frac{8}{10} = \frac{4}{5}$. So, the mixed number is $1 \frac{4}{5}$. As an improper fraction: $\frac{9}{5}$.
*
Percents: $1.8 \times 100 = 180\%$
