How can you verify that your decimal conversion is correct?

• The decimal should be larger than the percent

• The decimal should be equal to the percent

• The decimal should be twice the percent

• The decimal should be smaller than the percent

What should you do if you are unsure about the direction to move the decimal point?

• Check if the decimal is smaller than the percent

• Move it to the left
