Converting Decimals and Fractions

The video tutorial explains how to convert fractions to decimals and then to percentages. It covers the division method for converting fractions to decimals and provides two methods for converting decimals to percentages: rewriting as a fraction with a denominator of 100 and a shortcut method of moving the decimal point. The tutorial includes examples with fractions 3/8, 7/4, and mixed numbers, demonstrating the conversion process step-by-step.
