Explanation:

Converting between Fraction, Decimal, and Percent:

Fraction to Decimal: Divide the numerator by the denominator. The result is the decimal form.

Example: 1/4 = 1 ÷ 4 = 0.25

Decimal to Fraction: Write the decimal as a fraction by placing the decimal value over the appropriate power of 10.

Example: 0.75 = 75/100 = 3/4

Fraction to Percent: Divide the numerator by the denominator and multiply by 100.

Example: 1/3 = (1 ÷ 3) × 100 = 33.33...%

Percent to Fraction: Write the percent as a fraction with a denominator of 100 and simplify if necessary.

Example: 40% = 40/100 = 2/5

Decimal to Percent: Multiply the decimal by 100 and add the percent symbol (%).

Example: 0.75 = 0.75 × 100 = 75%

Percent to Decimal: Divide the percent by 100.

Example: 40% = 40 ÷ 100 = 0.4
