Comparing Decimals, Fractions, and Percents

A decimal is a way of expressing numbers that are not whole numbers, using a point (.) to separate the whole part from the fractional part. For example, 0.75 is a decimal.

To convert a fraction to a percent, divide the numerator by the denominator and then multiply the result by 100. For example, to convert $$\frac{11}{50}$$ to a percent: $$\frac{11}{50} = 0.22\Rightarrow 0.22 \times 100 = 22\%$$ .

A percent is a way of expressing a number as a fraction of 100. It is denoted by the symbol '%'. For example, 25% means 25 out of 100.

To compare decimals, align the decimal points and compare digit by digit from left to right. The number with the larger digit in the first place where they differ is greater.

Fractions, decimals, and percents are different ways to represent the same value. For example, $$\frac{1}{2}$$ = 0.5 = 50\%.

To convert a percent to a decimal, divide the percent by 100. For example, 75% as a decimal is $$\frac{75}{100} = 0.75$$ .

Numbers are in descending order when they are arranged from greatest to least. For example, 90%, 3/4, and 10% in descending order is 90%, 3/4, 10%.

To order fractions, decimals, and percents from greatest to least, convert them all to the same form (either all fractions, all decimals, or all percents) and then compare.

The decimal equivalent of $$\frac{3}{4}$$ is 0.75.

To express 0.34 as a percent, multiply by 100: $$0.34 \times 100 = 34\%$$ .
