NA4-5: Know the equivalent decimal and percentage forms for everyday fractions.
Elaboration on this Achievement Objective
This means students will understand decimals and percentages as equivalent fractions, for example 3/8 = 375/1000 = 0.375 and 3/8 = 37.5/100 = 37.5%. They should know the fractions for halves, thirds, quarters, fifths, eighths, and tenths as decimals and percentages and be able to convert these decimals and percentages back to their simplest fraction form, for example 0.8 = 4/5. The fractions required also include those greater than one, for example 240% = 2.4 = 12/5.
