Get Ready: Percents Greater Than 100% and Less Than 1%

100% is one whole. More than 100% means more than one whole; less than 1% is a tiny sliver. To handle these you read place value and slide the decimal by 10s and 100s. Warm those up first.

Why this matters for Lesson 4-3: 100% is one whole. More than 100% means more than one whole; less than 1% is a tiny sliver. To handle these you read place value and slide the decimal by 10s and 100s. Warm those up first.

Big percents and tiny percents

100% = one whole. A percent over 100 is more than a whole; a percent under 1 is a sliver. To turn a percent into a decimal, divide by 100 (slide the dot 2 places left).

200% = 2.00 = 2 wholes. 150% = 1.5 = one and a half.
0.5% = 0.005 β€” much smaller than 1%. (0.5 Γ· 100 = 0.005.)

Try It

Your quick check picks one for you, but you can switch any time:

Level 0 Warm up wholes and place value.

A. 100% of a pizza means how many whole pizzas?

Hint

100% is one whole.

B. What is 2 Γ— 100?

Hint

2 hundreds = 200.

C. What is 1 Γ· 100?

Hint

Dividing by 100 slides the dot 2 places left: 1 β†’ 0.01.

Level 1 Read big and small percents.

A. Which percent is MORE than one whole?

Hint

100% is one whole, so 150% is more than one whole.

B. Write 200% as a number of wholes.

Hint

200 Γ· 100 = 2 wholes.

C. Which percent is the SMALLEST?

Hint

0.5% is less than 1% β€” the tiniest of these.

Level 2 Stretch into decimals.

A. Write 150% as a decimal.

Hint

150 Γ· 100 = 1.5.

B. Write 0.5% as a decimal.

Hint

0.5 Γ· 100 = 0.005.

1. Which percent means MORE than one whole?

Hint

Anything above 100% is more than one whole; 300% = 3 wholes.

2. What is 4 Γ— 100?

Hint

4 hundreds = 400.
