Vocabulary practice flashcards covering conversion rules and memory hacks between fractions, decimals, and percents for HESI A2 preparation.

Fraction →Decimal Conversion

Divide the top number by the bottom number can round up or down (e.g., $\frac{3}{4} = 3 \div 4 = 0.75$).

Fraction → Percent Conversion

Divide the fraction, then multiply by $100$ (e.g., $\frac{3}{4} = 0.75 = 75\%$).

Decimal→Fraction Conversion

Use place value for the denominator, the numbers after decimal is the numerator, next then simplify the fraction (e.g., $0.25 = \frac{25}{100} = \frac{1}{4}$).

Decimal →Percent Conversion

Multiply by 100 by moving the decimal $2$ places to the right (e.g., $0.65 = 65\%$).

Percent→ Decimal Conversion

Divide by 100 by moving the decimal to the left 2x’s(e.g., $45\% = 0.45$).

Percent→Fraction Conversion

Take away the percent and rewrite the number over $100$, then simplify (e.g., $75\% = \frac{75}{100} = \frac{3}{4}$).
