Om denne kortstokken
Practice 86 English flashcards on fractions, decimals, and percentages. Build fluent recall of common equivalents, then use that knowledge to compare values, calculate short percentage problems, and spot conversion mistakes.
The cards teach all six conversion procedures: fraction to decimal, fraction to percentage, decimal to fraction, decimal to percentage, percentage to fraction, and percentage to decimal. Fifteen familiar proper fractions have a decimal or percentage prompt plus a separate recall prompt that returns to the fraction from one of those forms. The set adds mixed numbers, values above one, percentages below 1% and above 100%, and selected repeating-decimal equivalents. Exact answers and rounded answers are distinguished, with the required precision stated on each rounding prompt.
Comparisons ask you to choose the larger value, recognize equality, or order three mixed representations. Short applications practice percentage of an amount, part as a percentage of a whole, recovering a whole from a known percentage, and the percentage left after a discount. Error cards check division direction, place value, simplification, percentage notation, premature rounding, and the reference whole.
Learn the notation and conversion methods first. Familiar equivalents come next, with related prompts separated, followed by extended conversions, comparisons, and applications. Say or write the answer before turning the card, then work fresh problems outside the deck. Each card has one short retrieval task and an answer with brief reasoning.
This is focused foundational practice for secondary-school and adult learners. It does not include every possible direction for every number: selected reverse prompts give useful retrieval practice without a full permutation table. Negative-number ordering, full fraction arithmetic, recurring-decimal algebra, ratio and unit conversions, dosage calculations, and long multistep exercises are outside its scope. It is not a complete course or exam preparation program.
Questions, answers, examples, sequence, and metadata were independently authored with AI assistance. Arithmetic was checked directly; general definitions were cross-checked against freely available decimal, percentage, and repeating-decimal references. No textbook, examination, or competitor-deck wording or diagrams were copied. Mathematical facts are common knowledge. The original text and generated cover are released under CC0 1.0 to the extent applicable rights exist. This is an independent resource, unaffiliated with any school or examination provider.
Kort i denne kortstokken
Kort 1
Spørsmål
In a fraction of one whole, what does the denominator count?
Svar
The equal parts that make one whole. In 3/7, the whole is divided into seven equal parts.
Kort 2
Spørsmål
What does percent mean?
Svar
Per hundred. A percentage compares an amount with 100 equal parts of the reference whole.
Kort 3
Spørsmål
In 0.6, what place does the digit 6 occupy?
Svar
The tenths place. Its value is 6/10.
Kort 4
Spørsmål
How do you reduce a fraction to simplest form?
Svar
Divide its numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor. The fraction keeps the same value.
Kort 5
Spørsmål
Fraction → decimal: which division do you calculate?
Svar
Numerator ÷ denominator. The denominator must be nonzero.
Kort 6
Spørsmål
How do you turn a terminating decimal into a fraction?
Svar
Use place value: write the digits over 10, 100, 1,000, and so on, then simplify. For example, 0.032 = 32/1,000 = 4/125.
Kort 7
Spørsmål
In 3/7 of one whole, what does the numerator count?
Svar
Three of the seven equal parts.
Kort 8
Spørsmål
Percent → decimal: what do you do with the number before %?
Svar
Divide it by 100 and remove the % sign.
Kort 9
Spørsmål
Does writing 0.60 instead of 0.6 change the numerical value?
Svar
No. Both equal six tenths. A trailing zero after the decimal does not change the value.
Kort 10
Spørsmål
What does the mixed number 2 3/5 mean?
Svar
2 + 3/5. The space joins a whole-number part and a fractional part; it does not mean multiplication.
Kort 11
Spørsmål
Fraction → percent: how do you find the number before %?
Svar

Kort 66
Spørsmål
Order from smallest to largest: 0.58, 3/5, 59%.

Kort 71
Spørsmål
How do you calculate p% of an amount A?
Svar
(p ÷ 100) × A. First convert the percentage to a decimal multiplier.
Kort 72
Spørsmål
12% of 150?
Svar
18
Calculate 0.12 × 150.
Kort 73
Spørsmål

Svar
(part ÷ whole) × 100%. Divide by the whole, not by the part.
Kort 74
Spørsmål
A 20% discount leaves what percentage of the original price to pay?
Svar
80%. Subtract the discount from 100%.
Kort 75
Spørsmål
150% of 40?
Svar
60
Calculate 1.5 × 40; a percentage above 100% gives more than the original positive amount.
Kort 76
Spørsmål
30 is 15% of what number?
Svar
200
Divide the part by the decimal percentage: 30 ÷ 0.15.
Kort 77
Spørsmål
18 out of 72 is what percentage?
Svar
25%. Calculate (18 ÷ 72) × 100%.
Kort 78
Spørsmål
0.5% of 600?
Svar
3
Calculate 0.005 × 600.
Kort 79
Spørsmål
To convert 2/7 to a decimal, a learner calculates 7 ÷ 2. What must change?
Svar
Use 2 ÷ 7. The numerator is divided by the denominator, in that order.
Kort 80
Spørsmål
A learner writes 0.42 = 0.42%. What is the correct percentage?
Svar
42%. Multiply the decimal by 100 before adding %; 0.42% would equal 0.0042.
Kort 81
Spørsmål
A learner writes 0.018 = 18/100. What is the correct simplest fraction?
Svar
9/500. Three decimal places give 18/1,000, which simplifies to 9/500.
Kort 82
Spørsmål
Why is “a percentage cannot exceed 100%” incorrect?
Svar
100% is one reference whole, and an amount can exceed it. For example, 160% of a positive amount is 1.6 times that amount.
Kort 83
Spørsmål
A learner reduces 12/20 to 6/20. What is the correct simplest fraction?
Svar
3/5. Divide both numerator and denominator by 4. Changing only the numerator changes the value.
Kort 84
Spørsmål
A learner rounds 1/6 to 0.17 before converting to percent. What is 1/6 as a percentage to one decimal place?
Svar
16.7%. Convert the exact fraction first: (1/6) × 100 = 16.666… before attaching %. Round only the final percentage.
Kort 85
Spørsmål
For the same whole, why is 1/9 smaller than 1/6?
Svar
Nine equal parts make each part smaller than six equal parts. With the same positive numerator, a larger positive denominator gives a smaller fraction.
Kort 86
Spørsmål
Why can 10% of 80 and 10% of 200 be different amounts?
Svar
The reference whole is different. They are 8 and 20 respectively, even though the percentage is the same.
