1/2 = 0.5 = 50%
One half fills half of the whole bar, so the decimal and percent land exactly in the middle.

How the chart works
How to read a fraction chart
Read left to right. The fraction names equal parts of one whole, the decimal is the same amount written with place value, and the percent counts the same amount out of 100. A longer bar means a larger share of the whole.
5/8 = 0.625 = 62.5%
Five of eight equal pieces is a terminating decimal because 8 is made only from factors of 2.
1/3 = 0.(3) = 33.33%
Thirds create a repeating decimal. The chart marks the repeating block instead of cutting it off early.

How to convert a fraction to a decimal
- 1. Divide. Divide the numerator by the denominator. For 3/4, compute 3 ÷ 4.
- 2. Watch the remainder. If the remainder becomes 0, the decimal terminates. If a remainder returns, the decimal repeats.
- 3. Check on the chart. Match your answer to the fraction chart row. 3/4 should land on 0.75 and 75%.
A useful reverse check is to convert the decimal back to a fraction. 0.75 is 75/100, which simplifies to 3/4. That is why a fraction chart and a decimal-to-fraction lesson work well together.
Terminating decimals and repeating decimals
Denominators made only from 2 and 5 create terminating decimals: 1/2, 1/4, 1/5, 1/8, 1/10, and 1/16. Denominators with other prime factors create repeating decimals: 1/3, 1/6, and 1/12. The chart shows both kinds so students do not force every answer into three decimal places.
Do not treat 0.3 and 0.(3) as the same number. The first is three tenths, or 3/10. The second repeats forever and equals 1/3.
Convert a repeating decimal to a fractionFraction chart vs equivalent fractions chart
This page answers “What decimal matches this fraction?” An equivalent fractions chart answers “Which other fractions name the same amount?” Both charts are useful, but they solve different search intents.
Use this fraction chart when
You need fraction, decimal, and percent side by side for conversion, measurement, or percent work.
Use an equivalent fractions chart when
You need alternate names such as 1/4 = 2/8 = 3/12 before adding or comparing fractions.
