Description
This includes both a Google Sheets online worksheet and a printable PDF that your students can use to practice calculating percents with rounding. In Grade 6 Percents Guided Notes 1, students learned how to calculate percents from ratios in two different ways: by setting up a proportion and cross-multiplying, and by dividing the ratio and then multiplying the result times 100. In Grade 6 Percents Guided Notes 2 and this worksheet, the answers all have non-terminating decimals, which means they must be rounded.
For example, let's calculate the percent from the ratio 13/29. In the first way, we set up the equation 13/29 = X/100. Cross-multiplying results in the equation 1300 = 29X. Dividing both sides by 29 results in X = 42.8275862. In the second way, we divide 13/29 = 0.428275862, then multiply x 100 = 42.8275862.
Regardless of which way, round the answer to two decimals: 44.83%.
