Fractions in decimal form are easy to compare and to add and subtract from one another.
A percentage is a special way of writing fractions with a denominator of 100. For example, 33% = 0.33 or 33/100.A decimal is also a special way of writing fractions - with a denominator that is a power of 10. Which power, depends on the number of decimal digis. For example, 0.125 = 125/1000.
The strategies for writing equivalent ratios is the same as writing equivalent fractions.
Yes they are.
They are the same.
I THINK you mean the word decimal. It is a way of writing fractions that are in 10ths. For example, 1/10th would be 0.1 and 2/10ths would be 0.2 By adding another digit to the right of the decimal point, you can write hundredths, another digit thousandths, etc.
