Use division and multiplication

Convert any fraction into a decimal by dividing the numerator by the denominator.

Numerator $= 2$ $= 2$
Denominator $= 10$ $= 10$

Numerator $\div$ $-:$ Denominator $=$ $=$ $2 \div 10 = 0.2$ $2-:10=0.2$

$0.2$ $0.2$ is $\frac{2}{10}$ $2/10$ in decimal form.

Convert decimal numbers into percentages by multiplying the decimal by 100.

Decimal $= 0.2$ $=0.2$

$0.2 \times 100 = 20 %$ $0.2xx100=20%$

Remember to add the $%$ $%$ symbol at the end of decimals converted to percentages.
