b) 3/4 = 0.75 = 75%

c) 1/5 = 0.2 = 20%

d) 3/10 = 0.3 = 30%

2. Convert these decimals to fractions and percentages:

a) 0.25 = 1/4 = 25%

b) 0.6 = 3/5 = 60%

c) 0.8 = 4/5 = 80%

3. Convert these percentages to fractions and decimals:

a) 40% = 2/5 = 0.4

b) 90% = 9/10 = 0.9

c) 35% = 7/20 = 0.35

🛒 Part 2: Real-World Problems - ANSWERS

4. A video game costs $80. It's on sale for 25% off. How much do you save? What's the new price?

Working: 25% of $80 = 0.25 × $80 = $20 saved

New price: $80 - $20 = $60

5. In Hunter's class of 20 students, 3/5 like maths. How many students is this?

Working: 3/5 of 20 = (3 ÷ 5) × 20 = 0.6 × 20 = 12 students

6. A pizza is cut into 8 equal slices. If you eat 0.375 of the pizza, how many slices did you eat?

Working: 0.375 × 8 = 3 slices

Note: 0.375 = 3/8 as a fraction

7. A school has 400 students. 15% walk to school, 0.6 catch the bus, and the rest are driven by parents. How many students use each method?

Walk: 15% of 400 = 0.15 × 400 = 60 students

Bus: 0.6 × 400 = 240 students

Driven: 400 - 60 - 240 = 100 students

Check: 60 + 240 + 100 = 400 ✓

🧠 Part 3: Challenge Questions - ANSWERS

8. Which is larger: 7/10 or 68%? Show your working.

Convert to same form:

7/10 = 0.7 = 70%

68% = 0.68 = 17/25

Answer: 7/10 (70%) is larger than 68%

9. A cricket player has a batting average of 0.45 (45% of times they get out). In 20 games, how many times would you expect them to get out?

Working: 45% of 20 = 0.45 × 20 = 9 times

10. Order these from smallest to largest: 3/8, 0.4, 35%

Convert all to decimals:

3/8 = 0.375

0.4 = 0.4

35% = 0.35

Order: 35%, 3/8, 0.4
