Changing Mixed Number to Improper Fraction Solution: Change the improper fraction to proper fraction
Steps: 1. Multiply the denominator by the whole number then divide.
2. Add the product of the first step to the numerator. Step 1: Multiply the denominator by the whole number.
4×2=8
3. Write the sum over the denominator to form the
improper fraction. Step 2: Add the product (step 1) to the numerator. 8+3 =

Solution:
Step 4: Divide the answer in step 3. 11÷4 = 2.75
Step 1: Multiply the denominator by the whole number.
3×4=12
Step 2: Add the product (step 1) to the numerator. 12+2 = Decimals
14 Decimals comes from the Latin word decimus, which means
tenth, from the root word decem, or 10. It is used to describe the

period that separates the ones place from the tenths place in
decimal numbers.
Converting Fraction to Decimal
Rule: The line that separates the numerator and denominator can
be rewritten using the division symbol. So, to convert fraction to
decimal, just divide the numerator to its denominator.
Examples:
28 Converting Decimal to Fraction
1. Convert to decimal number Solution:
100 Steps
28 ÷ 100=0.28
 Rewrite the decimal number as a fraction where the decimal
2 number is the numerator and 1 is the denominator.
2. Convert to decimal number Solution: 2÷9 = 0.22
9  Move the decimal point of the numerator to the right until it
becomes whole number. Then move the decimal point of the
2
 denominator to the right by the same number places that
the decimal point of the numerator moves.
Converting Decimal to Percent
 Reduced to lowest terms.
To convert decimal to percent, multiply it by 100 then add the
Examples: percent sign (%). You can also move two decimal places to the right
then add the percent sign(%).
1. Convert 0.125 to fraction
Examples:
Solution:
1. Change 0.12 to percent form.
 Change the decimal into fraction by using the decimal
number as the numerator and put 1 as the denominator Solution 1: 0.12× 100 = 12%

0.125 Solution 2: You can move two decimal places to the right then
1 add

 Move the decimal point of the numerator to the right until it the percent sign(%). 0.12 = 12%
becomes whole number. Then move the decimal point of the
denominator to the
right by the same number places that the decimal point of 2. What is the percent form of 1.17? Solution 1: 1.17×
the numerator moves. 100 = 117%

0.125 Solution 2:
1.17 = 117%
1.000
3. Change 0.345 to percent form. Solution 1: 0.345×
100 = 34.5%
125÷ 125 1
 Reduced to lowest terms: = Solution 2:
1,000÷ 125 8
0.345 = 34.5%

0.3 0.3 3
2. Convert 0.3 into fraction. Solution: = =
1 1.0 10 Percentage

3. Convert 1.25 into fraction Percentage literally means ‘per 100 pieces’ of anything,
which is one way of specifying the fraction of a complete whole. A
1.25 1.25 125 125÷ 25 5 1 percentage value is a fraction multiplied by 100.
Solution: = = = = or 1
1 1.00 100 100÷ 25 4 4 Illustration:

 denominator: 2 ÷ 5 = 0.4%
Step 2: Convert the quotient (first step) to decimal:
0.4
=0.004

Solution 2: % = 0.4% = 00.4 = 0.004
Counting the red cells, it is 26 out of 100 or we can say that there 5
26
are 26 per 100. In fraction, it is .
100 Percent to Fraction
To convert percent to fraction, first remove the percent sign
Converting Percent to Decimal (%) then divide by 100, reduce to lowest terms if necessary. If the
percent is decimal or fraction, convert it first to decimal form then
To convert a percent to decimal, remove the percent sign from decimal to fraction.
(%) then divide it by 100. Another solution is to move the decimal
point two places to the left. If the given is a fraction, you first Examples:
convert the fraction to its decimal equivalent before moving the 1. Convert 12% to fraction
decimal point two places to the left.

2. Change 3.6% to fraction
53 36 ÷ 4 9
Solution: 53% = = 0.53 or 53% = 53.= 0.53
