Section 1
Convert a percent to a fraction
Property
To convert a percent to a fraction:
Step 1. Write the percent as a ratio with the denominator 100.
Step 2. Simplify the fraction if possible.
In this Grade 6 lesson from enVision Mathematics Chapter 6, students learn to write equivalent values as fractions, decimals, and percents by using division and equivalent ratios. The lesson covers converting between all three forms, including expressing percents like 30% as fractions with a denominator of 100, rewriting fractions such as 3/5 and 5/8 as decimals through long division, and finding equivalent rates to express results as percents. Aligned to Common Core standard 6.RP.A.3c, students build fluency recognizing that fractions, decimals, and percents are three different ways to represent the same part of a whole.
