| # | Answer | One-line note |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 13/20 | 0.65 is 65 over 100, and dividing both by 5 gives 13 over 20. |
| 2 | 40% | 32 divided by 80 is 0.4, which is 40%. |
| 3 | 1.75 and 175% | Three quarters is 0.75, plus one gives 1.75, which is 175%. |
| 4 | 168 dollars | 480 times 0.35 is 168. |
| 5 | 120 dollars | 90 divided by 0.75 is 120, and 120 times 0.75 is 90. |
| 6 | 0.625 and 5/8 | 25% is 0.25, so 0.375 plus 0.25 is 0.625, which is 5 over 8. |
| 7 | 16.7% | One divided by six is 0.1666…, which is 16.7 to one decimal place. |
| 8 | 0.65, 66%, two thirds | As decimals they are 0.65, 0.66 and 0.6667. |
| 9 | 20% | The rise is 9, and 9 divided by 45 is 0.2, that is 20%. |
| 10 | 0.375 | The error is copying the digits; three divided by eight is 0.375. |
Three steps: make the denominator ten or a hundred, divide to a decimal, then multiply by a hundred for a percentage; always convert to one form before comparing or ordering.Tutor Registration →
