Step-by-step explanation:

Being able to convert between fractions, decimals, and percentages is an essential skill at Key Stage 3 as it greatly develops a student's concept of what the quantities mean. It also makes fractions and percentages of amounts much simpler to visualise and compare.

We use decimals every day while dealing with money, weight, length etc. Decimal numbers are used in situations where more precision is required than the whole numbers can provide. For example, when we calculate our weight on the weighing machine, we do not always find the weight equal to a whole number on the scale.
