1. Converting Percents to fractions
Mrs. Muller’s Presentation on…
Converting Percents to fractions

2. Recall
A percent is a part of 100
A percent is always out of 100

3. How To Convert
There is a really long way of converting it first back to a decimal by moving the decimal point left 2 and then converting the decimal to a fraction.
Would you like to know the shorter way?
…… well?
….. If you don’t answer we’ll do it the long way…
O good you want to do it the shorter way….
Lets get started then….

4. The Quicker Way Recall that a percent is out of a 100
That means that the number is out of 100 or over 100
For example 99% would be 99 out of 100 or 99/100
Just put the number over 100

5. Let’s Do Some for Practice…
65%
=65/100
125%
=125/100
12.5%
12.5/100
Wait we can’t have a decimal in a fraction?.....
What should do?
Multiply the fraction by (10/10) which is one and get 125/1000 (or just add a 0 for every decimal and get rid of the decimal.
