To convert fractions to percentages: Fractions represent parts of a whole divided into equal sections, with the numerator indicating the number of parts and denominator indicating the total parts. To convert a fraction to a percentage, the fraction is expressed as a decimal and then multiplied by 100. Decimals represent fractions with denominators of powers of ten, making conversion between decimals and percentages straightforward by moving the decimal point and adding a percent sign. The document provides examples of converting fractions and decimals to percentages.

- 2. CONVERTING FRACTION TO PERCENTAGE Fractions are numbers that represent a part of the whole. When an object or a group of objects is divided into equal parts, then each individual part is a fraction. 2
- 3. A fraction is usually written as 1/2 or 5/12 or 7/18 and so on. It is divided into a numerator and denominator and it expressed as a quotient of the form 𝒏 𝒅 where, d is called the denominator ( the equal parts into which the whole has been divided). And n, is called the numerator ( the number of parts that is taken). 3
- 4. CONVERTING DECIMALS TO PERCENTAGE For example: In the fraction 𝟑 𝟒 3 is the numerator and 4 is the denominator. Take note: A fraction is said to be in lowest terms or in simplest forms if the greatest common factor of n and d is 1. Two or more fractions are said to be equivalent if they have the same simplest form. 4
- 5. Fractions which have the same denominator are said to be similar fractions, otherwise, they are called dissimilar fractions. Fractions with same denominators (bottom numbers). Examples: 𝟏 𝟔 , 𝟓 𝟔 , 𝟏𝟑 𝟔 Fractions with different denominators (bottom numbers). Examples: 𝟐 𝟗 , 𝟕 𝟖 , 𝟏𝟒 𝟐𝟓 5
