Decimals, Fractions and Percentages!

1. Decimals, Fractions and Percentages! By Ali & Eva

2. Fractions are most commonly used when referring to food like – Her half is bigger than mine – We each get one quarter of the drink. • When writing in fractions we would write one half as ½ • We would then write ¼ when referring to a quarter.

3. Percentages • Percentages are most commonly used in sales for shops. For example if a top was $150 but it was 50% off it would be $75. • Percentages can also be used when your talking about of a food package or even a netball court.

5. Decimals • Decimal is the name given to one of the ways to write part of a whole. The decimal is the tiny dot separating the whole numbers and the tenths, hundredths and thousandths. • A half in decimal form is written like this = 0.5 • A quarter is written like this = 0.25

6. How are they are Related? • Decimals, fractions and percentages are related in the way that they are all part of a whole. • The only difference is the way you write them. • A decimal is written like this 0.5 • A percentages would be written like this 50% • And a fraction would be written like this ½

9. One half of the Agnes is circled. This can be written in three different ways as a decimals, fraction and a percentage. The decimal version would look like this 0.5. the fraction version would look like this ½ . And the percentage version would look like this 50%.
