1.3. Briefly explain in your own words how fractions are linked to decimals and percentages. Use the fraction "two thirds" to show this relationship. Explain by giving two examples of this relationship to your grade 6 learner.

Fractions, decimals, and percentages are all different ways to show parts of a whole. They are like different languages for expressing the same idea. Let's use the fraction "two thirds" to see how they are connected. **1. Fraction to Decimal:** - The fraction **two thirds** means you have 2 out of 3 equal parts. - To convert it to a decimal, you divide 2 by 3. - **2 ÷ 3 = 0.666…**, which we can round to **0.67**. **2. Fraction to Percentage:** - A percentage is a way to express a number out of 100. - To convert **two thirds** to a percentage, first convert it to a decimal (0.67). - Then, multiply by 100: **0.67 × 100 = 66.67%**. **Examples:** 1. **Pizza Sharing:** - Imagine you and your friend are sharing a pizza. You each get **two thirds** of the pizza. - As a decimal, you each have **0.67** of the pizza. - As a percentage, you each have **66.67%** of the pizza. 2. **Classroom Participation:** - Suppose **two thirds** of your class completed their homework. - In decimal form, that's **0.67** of the class. - In percentage, it's **66.67%** of the class. By understanding that **two thirds** is the same as **0.67** or **66.67%**, you can easily switch between fractions, decimals, and percentages depending on what the situation calls for!
