how do you convert fractions to decimals to percent to ratio

Answer 1

fractions to decimals is just divide top ( numerator ) by bottom ( denominator ) 1/5 = 0.20 1/10 = 0.10 1/12 = 0.0833333333333333

Answer 2

percent is like a fraction of 100.... 1/100 or 20/100 33/100 etc etc even 600/100 so the above are 1/5 = 0.20 = 20% 1/10 = 0.10 = 10% 1/12 = 0.0833333333333333 = 8.33333333333333%

Answer 3

Ratios are fractions. Let's say that I have two bags of marbles; one has 12 marbles; the other has 4. The ratio is 12 to 4 (12:4 or 12/4). Normally, with ratios, all we want to do is reduce them: 12/4=3/1. So our ratio is 3 to 1 (3:1 or 3/1). We may have wanted to name the smaller bag first. Then the ratio is 1 to 3. To make my meaning clear, I may say "The ratio of the smaller bag to the larger bag is 1 to 3." copied from someone who makes it clearer than I could... http://www.jimloy.com/arith/fractn.htm
