Fractions, Decimals & Percentages Flashcards

Question 1

In a fraction of one whole, what does the denominator count?

Accepted Answer

The equal parts that make one whole. In 3/7, the whole is divided into seven equal parts.

Question 2

What does percent mean?

Accepted Answer

Per hundred. A percentage compares an amount with 100 equal parts of the reference whole.

Question 3

In 0.6, what place does the digit 6 occupy?

Accepted Answer

The tenths place. Its value is 6/10.

Question 4

How do you reduce a fraction to simplest form?

Accepted Answer

Divide its numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor. The fraction keeps the same value.

Question 5

Fraction → decimal: which division do you calculate?

Accepted Answer

Numerator ÷ denominator. The denominator must be nonzero.

Question 6

How do you turn a terminating decimal into a fraction?

Accepted Answer

Use place value: write the digits over 10, 100, 1,000, and so on, then simplify. For example, 0.032 = 32/1,000 = 4/125.

Question 7

In 3/7 of one whole, what does the numerator count?

Accepted Answer

Three of the seven equal parts.

Question 8

Percent → decimal: what do you do with the number before %?

Accepted Answer

Divide it by 100 and remove the % sign.

Question 9

Does writing 0.60 instead of 0.6 change the numerical value?

Accepted Answer

No. Both equal six tenths. A trailing zero after the decimal does not change the value.

Question 10

What does the mixed number 2 3/5 mean?

Accepted Answer

2 + 3/5. The space joins a whole-number part and a fractional part; it does not mean multiplication.

Question 11

Fraction → percent: how do you find the number before %?

Accepted Answer

Divide the numerator by the denominator, then multiply the result by 100. Attach the % sign to that number.

Question 12

Decimal → percent: how do you find the number before %?

Accepted Answer

Multiply the decimal by 100, then attach the % sign.

Question 13

In 0.47, what is the value of the digit 7?

Accepted Answer

7/100, or 0.07. The 7 is in the hundredths place.

Question 14

Percent → fraction: what denominator does % supply?

Accepted Answer

100

Put the number before % over 100. If the numerator has a decimal, multiply both parts by the same power of 10 to get integers, then simplify.
