Converting fractions, decimals, and percents

When we talk, we often use different words to express the same thing. For example, we could describe the same car as tiny or little or small. All of these words mean the car is not big. Fractions, decimals, and percents are like the words tiny, little, and small. They're all just different ways of expressing parts of a whole.

screenshot of 1/2

In this image, each measuring cup has the same amount of juice in it. But we've expressed this amount in three ways: as a fraction, as a percent, and as a decimal. Since they're expressing the same amount, we know that 1/2, 50%, and 0.5 are equal to each other. Any time we see 1/2, we'll know it can also mean 50% or 0.5.

Sometimes it's useful to convert one kind of number into another. For example, it's much easier to add 1/4 and 0.5 if you turn 0.5 into a fraction. Learning how to convert fractions, decimals, and percents will also help you as you learn more advanced math.

Fractions and decimals

Every fraction can also be written as a decimal, and vice versa. You may not do this very often, but converting decimals and fractions can help you in math. For example, it's easier to subtract 1/6 from 0.52 if you turn 1/6 into a decimal first.

Converting a fraction into a decimal

Let's convert a fraction into a decimal. We'll be using a math skill you've already learned: long division. To refresh your memory on this skill, you can review our Long Division lesson.

You divide the percent by 100 then you would get a fraction

The terminal velocity of a person falling through air is about 100Km/hr. The acceleration due to gravity is 10ms−2. Use this inf
Aleonysh [2.5K]

The question here is how long does it take for a falling person to reach the 90% of this terminal velocity. The computation is:

The terminal velocity vt fulfills v'=0. Therefore vt=g/c, and so c=g/vt = 10/(100*1000/3600) = 36,000/100,000... /s. Incorporating the differential equation shows that the time needed to reach velocity v is 

t= ln [g / (g-c*v)] / c. 

With v=.9 vt =.9 g/c,

t = ln [10] /c = 6.4 sec.
