Fractions, Decimals, and Percents (B) WORKSHEET

Suitable for Grades: 6th Grade
CCSS: 6.RP.A.3.C
CCSS Description: Find a percent of a quantity as a rate per 100 (e.g., 30% of a quantity means 30/100 times the quantity); solve problems involving finding the whole, given a part and the percent.

Fractions, Decimals, and Percents (B) WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION

Fractions, Decimals and Percents B is the next step in students understanding equivalence in all three forms.

Section A asks learners to consider decimal and percentage equivalence before finding this as a fraction out of 100 and then simplifying fractions.

Next, students are faced with common misconceptions and asked to articulate and correct the mistakes.

Section C follows perfectly from section A. Starting with percentages, students will convert to decimals and then as fractions over 100, and finally, simplify these. Sections A and C are designed to deepen students' knowledge of equivalences and avoid making common mistakes when converting between the three.

Fifths are discussed in more detail in section D, allowing students to spot patterns from their previous answers.
