Percents Greater than 100% and Less than 1% (7th)

Danny Beaver

Guided Notes

9 min

Key concepts students will learn:

  • To convert a percent less than 1% to a decimal, move the decimal point two places to the left and drop the percent sign.

  • To convert 1/4% into a decimal, rewrite it as 0.25%, move the decimal two places to the left, and the result is 0.0025.

  • To convert a decimal greater than one to a percent, move the decimal point two places to the right, which is the same as multiplying by 100, and add the percent sign.
