pdf Changing Decimals Into Percents

This worksheet provides focused practice converting decimals into percents and rounding to the nearest whole percent. A clearly modeled example demonstrates how to move the decimal two places to the right and apply rounding rules when necessary. For example, \(0.567\) becomes \(56.7\%\) and rounds to \(57\%\).

Students complete 21 decimal-to-percent conversion problems such as \(0.454\), \(0.735\), \(0.028\), \(0.998\), and \(0.093\). Each problem requires students to multiply by 100 (move the decimal two places), write the percent form, and round correctly based on the thousandths place. A reminder note clarifies that while this worksheet rounds to the nearest whole percent, other contexts may require rounding to the nearest tenth or hundredth of a percent.

Because the worksheet emphasizes both procedural steps and rounding accuracy, it strengthens understanding of the relationship between decimals and percents. It works well as guided instruction, independent practice, homework, small-group intervention, or assessment preparation in a unit on rational number conversions.
