Understanding Proportions and Conversions

This comprehensive page presents a detailed breakdown of proportional relationships between fractions, decimals, and percentages. The content is organized into three parallel columns showing equivalent values across different numerical representations.

Definition: Proportions are relationships between numbers that remain constant when multiplied or divided by the same value.

Example: 1/5 can be expressed as 0.2 in decimal form and 20% as a percentage, all representing the same proportional value.

Highlight: The chart includes common fractions in tenths (1/10 through 10/10) and their corresponding decimal and percentage values.

Vocabulary: Equivalent values - different numerical representations that express the same quantity or proportion.

The page features several key conversion sets:

• Tenths series (1/10 to 10/10) with corresponding decimals (0.1 to 1.0) and percentages (10% to 100%)
• Common fractions (1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/8, 3/8) with their decimal and percentage equivalents
• Special attention to frequently used values like 50% (0.5, 1/2) and 25% (0.25, 1/4)

Example: For 1/2:

• Fraction: 1/2
• Decimal: 0.5
• Percentage: 50%
