Use the model to solve the first problem. Then try these quick review questions from earlier lessons.

1. 1

   Same stepsFinish what the group started. Use the model above, step for step. 🔊 Listen 💡 Hint

   Let's do one together:

   1. Write 1/5 as a fraction out of 100, a decimal and a percent.
   2. What do we multiply the denominator 5 by to get 100? (20, because 5 × 20 = 100)
   3. Multiply the numerator by 20. What fraction do you get? (1 × 20 = 20, so 1/5 = 20/100)
   4. 20 out of 100 is what percent? (20%)
   5. What is 20/100 as a decimal? (0.20, which is the same as 0.2)

   My first step is ___ , because the problem asks for ___ .

   Find the mistakeRead the mistake. Explain what went wrong, then show the correct step. 🔊 Listen 💡 Hint

   The mistake: A common mistake in Relate Fractions, Decimals, and Percents is treating the numerator and denominator as the percent's digits — turning 3/5 into "35%" by just reading the 3 and the 5.
2. 10

2. 13

   From Lesson 4.1Quick check — you've got this: Four out of every ten voters chose the tiger. What percent chose the tiger, and how do you know? 🔊 Listen 💡 Hint

   1. A4%, because 4 voters chose the tiger
   2. B10%, because the ratio is out of 10
   3. C14%, because 4 + 10 = 14
   4. D40%, because 4 out of 10 equals 40 out of 100
