Fractions Decimals Percentages; Recurring Decimlas Level 3-7

We can represent a value in all forms of Fraction, Decimals, or Percentages. This helps us to understand and relate different applications of basic Maths. If we need to know 36 per cent of a number, we can simply multiply it by 0.36 or \(\frac{9}{25})\ which are its equivalents.

The subject of converting recurring decimals into a fraction can go as far as level 7 in GCSE Maths. Questions start from simple forms and develop to more complex forms.

 

Key Points and Common Mistakes:

  • When converting a fraction to recurring decimal, you can simply divide numerator to denominator; a fraction essentially means divide in Maths.
  • When converting recurring decimals to fractions, you need to multiply both sides to 10 if there is one recurring decimal, 100 if there is two, 1000 if there is three.
