Converting Decimals to Percents and Vice Versa

This lesson teaches how to convert decimals to percents and vice versa by understanding decimal naming. It explains rational numbers and their representation as decimals, fractions, and percents. The process involves naming the decimal, converting it to a fraction, and adjusting it to have 100 in the denominator before multiplying by 100%. The lesson also covers converting percents back to decimals by simplifying fractions. A problem-solving example is provided to identify non-equivalent percent representations.
