About this worksheet

Percents, fractions and decimals. Every version has 10 questions, and the answer key prints on the second page.

What your child will learn

I can say what "percent" means: out of 100.
I can change a fraction, a decimal and a percent into each other, using a ratio table with 100 in the Whole column.
I can write a percent as a fraction in simplest form.
I can use a smaller row first when the Whole will not go straight to 100 (38 of 40), and I can work with eighths (1/8 = 0.125 = 12.5%).

Standard: 6.RP.A.3c

Words to know

percent: "Out of 100." 40% means 40 out of every 100.

part: The amount you are looking at, like the 3 in 3 out of 5.

whole: The total the part is taken from, like the 5 in 3 out of 5.

hundredths: Pieces when a whole is cut into 100 equal pieces. 0.35 is 35 hundredths.

equivalent: Different names for the same amount, like 1/2, 0.5 and 50%.

simplest form: A fraction with no number left that divides both the top and bottom.

Common mistakes

Your child changed the bottom number to 100 but left the top number alone.

Your child added to get from the bottom number up to 100 instead of multiplying. Try showing 1/2 and 50/100 on a 100-square grid together.

Your child moved the decimal point one place instead of two (for example 0.35 as 3.5, or as 35/10). Try coins: 35 cents is 35 out of 100 cents, which is 0.35 of a dollar.

What to say

Ask: whatever the bottom number is multiplied by to reach 100, what has to happen to the top number?
