Fractions, Decimals And Percentages
Overview
A half, \(0.5\) and \(50\%\) are three names for the same idea. Fractions, decimals and percentages are simply different costumes worn by the same quantity, and being able to change costume at will is one of the most useful skills in everyday mathematics.
In this lesson you will convert smoothly between all three forms, recognize the common equivalences worth memorizing, and order a mixed list of fractions, decimals and percentages with confidence. These conversions are the backbone of money, ratio and data work across the whole syllabus.
Objectives
- Use and convert between fractions, decimals and percentages, and recognize equivalences between them.
