In the rectangle above, 3 tenths are shaded green, 6 tenths are shaded yellow and one tenth red.

There are other ways to write these fractions using equivalent fractions, decimals or percentages.

If we remember that the columns after the decimal point are tenths, then hundredths and then thousandths, this will help us to convert fractions to decimals:

2/10 = 0.2

5/100 = 0.05

8/1000 = 0.008

Percentage is out of 100:

3/10 = 30/100 = 30%

0.7 = 7/10 = 70/100 = 70%
