Equivalent forms

62.5% equals 5/8, 0.625, and 62.5%.

Fraction 5/8
Decimal 0.625
Percent 62.5%

Steps

  1. Start with 62.5%.
  2. Percent means per hundred, so write it as 62.5/100.
  3. Simplify that value to 5/8 and convert to decimal 0.625.

Why it works

Fractions, decimals, and percents are just different ways to name the same quantity. Once you have one exact fraction form, the decimal and percent versions follow directly.

Common mistakes

  • Treating 25% as 25 instead of 25/100.
  • Moving the decimal the wrong direction when converting between decimals and percents.
  • Rounding too early and losing the exact fraction form.

Worked examples

Convert 3/5
