Converting Fractions, Decimals and Percents

The way to convert fractions into decimals is by dividing the numerator by the denominator. For example, ¼ = 1 ÷ 4. 1 ÷ 4 = 0.25.

The way to convert decimals into percents is by multiplying the decimal by 100. For example, 0.25 x 100 = 25%

A repeating decimal is self explanatory. It repeats itself. For example, 0.333... It could also be 2 numbers. For example, 0.4646... It could also even repeat after 1 number. For example, 3522...

A terminating decimal is just the opposite of a repeating decimal. Meaning, it has an end. For example, 0.35.
