Key Concepts

Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.

Fraction

A fraction represents a part of a whole and is expressed as a ratio of two integers, with the numerator (top number) indicating how many parts are taken and the denominator (bottom number) indicating the total number of equal parts. For example, 1/10 means one part out of ten equal parts.

Decimal

A decimal is a way of expressing fractions in a base-10 system, using a decimal point to separate the whole number part from the fractional part. For instance, the fraction 1/10 can be converted to a decimal by dividing 1 by 10, resulting in 0.1.

Percent

A percent is a way of expressing a number as a fraction of 100, denoted by the symbol '%'. To convert a fraction to a percent, you multiply the fraction by 100. For example, 1/10 as a percent is calculated as (1/10) * 100 = 10%.
