Relating Decimals, Fractions, and Percents6-1

Learn to compare and order decimals, fractions, and percents.


Percents are ratios that compare a number to 100.


Think of the % symbol as meaning per 100 or /100. 75% = 75/100 = 0.75

Reading Math


To convert a fraction to a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator.

18 = 1 ÷ 8 = 0.125

To convert a decimal to a percent, multiply by 100 and insert the percent symbol.

0.125 100 12.5%


Find the missing ratio or percent equivalent for each letter a–g on the number line.
