Turning fractions into decimals and percentages can be tough for 9th graders.

A lot of students find it hard to understand the basic ideas. This can lead to confusion and frustration.

Here’s a simpler breakdown:

1. Fractions to Decimals:

   • To change a fraction, like $\frac{3}{4}$, to a decimal, you divide the top number (numerator) by the bottom number (denominator).
   • This can be tricky, especially when the numbers get bigger.

2. Fractions to Percentages:

   • Converting to percentages makes things a bit more complicated.
   • You need to take the decimal you just got and multiply it by 100.
   • If students are still having a hard time with decimals, this can be very confusing.

To help students, it’s really useful to practice division regularly.

Using visual aids, like charts or interactive tools, can also make a big difference.

With the right practice and tools, students can get better at these conversions!
