pdf Decimal, Fraction, Percent Equivalents - A -(Free Throw Percentage)

This engaging sports-themed worksheet builds strong connections among fractions, decimals, and percents through real-world free throw statistics. Students analyze shooting data such as 18 out of 20, 13 out of 15, and 14 out of 16, and express each result as a fraction, a decimal, and a percent.

A clearly modeled example demonstrates how to divide the numerator by the denominator to find the decimal form (for example, \(\frac{8}{10} = 0.8\)), and then convert to a percent by writing the decimal to the hundredths place (0.80 = 80%). Students are reminded to round to the nearest whole percent when necessary and to interpret percent correctly as “out of 100.” Problems include both terminating and repeating decimals, reinforcing division accuracy and rounding skills.

Because students must represent each value in three equivalent forms, this resource strengthens conceptual understanding of rational number equivalence while building procedural fluency. It works well as guided instruction, independent practice, homework, small-group intervention, or assessment preparation in a unit on fractions, decimals, and percents.
