Fractions decimals and percentages – Maths bee special
December 17th, 2017
These following should be known:
½ = 0.5 = 50%
¼ = 0.25 = 25%
1/5 = 0.2 = 20%
1/10 = 0.1 = 10%
1/3 = 0.333…….on going = 33.3%
If these are known it can help you work out other fractions percentages and decimals. I have used theme to work out these.
47% = 0.47
3/5 = 0.6
I know that 3/5 is 0.6 because 1/5 is 0.2 then it is three then 5 so 3 x 2 =6. meaning the answer is 0.6.

Great to see your reasoning about 3/5 from 1/5!
