We just do the same thing as in the last lesson... only backwards!

To convert a decimal to a percent:

1
Convert the decimal to a fraction (using the place value information).
2
Convert the fraction to a percent.

I'm going to do both steps in one line...

Let's go!

Convert .62 to a percent:

.62 = 62 / 100 = 62%  don't simplify the fraction

Convert 3.48 to a percent:

3.48 = 348 / 100 = 348%

Convert .5 to a percent:

Hey, there's only one decimal place on this guy!
No problem.  Just stick a zero on the end and go for it.


YOUR TURN:

Convert 1.25 to a percent.

Convert .36 to a percent.

Convert .4 to a percent.
