If given a fraction, in order to
write it as a decimal, we divide it out.
The
numerator goes inside the division box.
Then to change
it to a percent we just move the decimal point two places to the right.
Find
the decimal and percent equivalents:

If given a decimal,
how we would read it is how we would write the fraction.
Find
the fraction and percent equivalents:

We
would read this as 95 hundredths. We would write the
fraction the same way then reduce.

Move the
decimal point two places to the right.

If given the percent,
to write it as a decimal, move the decimal two places to the left.
Then do the same as above to write the number as a fraction.

We would read
this as twelve thousandths, then reduce.
