DIVISION OF DECIMALS; PERCENTS, FRACTIONS, AND DECIMALS

We’ve already studied division of whole numbers.  Now, let’s look at dividing decimals.  We will estimate our answers first to be sure that our actual answers are reasonable.

Percents are used to express decimals and fractions in another way.  First, we’ll look at some percent models to find out just what a percent means.  Then, we will look at how fractions, decimals, and percents all go together.
