    A spinner is divided into four sections: green, blue, red and yellow. What is the probability of spinning the arrow and having it land in the green section? Write this probability as a fraction, decimal and as a percent.
    ::旋转器可分为四个部分: 绿色、 蓝色、 红色和黄色。 旋转箭头并将其降落在绿色部分的概率是多少? 将此概率写成小数、 小数和百分比 。

    In this concept, you will learn to write probabilities as fractions, decimals and percent.
    ::在此概念中,您将学习以分数、小数和百分比来写出概率。

    Probabilities as Fractions, Decimals and Percents
    ::小数、小数和百分数的概率

    Probabilities can be computed in terms of ratios. Since any ratio can be turned into a fraction, decimal, or percent, you can also turn any probability into a fraction, decimal, or percent.
    ::概率可以按比率计算。由于任何比率可以转换成分数、小数或百分比,您也可以将任何概率转换成分数、小数或百分比。

    For instance, when you toss a number cube, the probability of rolling a “3” is:
    ::例如,抛掷数字立方体时,滚动“3”的概率是:

    P ( 3 ) = favorable outcomes : total outcomes P ( 3 ) = 1 : 6

    ::P(3)=有利结果:结果总数P(3)=1:6

    The same probability can be written as a fraction simply by rewriting the two numbers in the ratio as the numerator and denominator of a fraction.
    ::仅通过将两个数字与分数的分子数和分母重写,即可将这两个数字与分数的分子数和分母重写成一个分数。

    P ( 3 ) = 1 6

    ::P(3)=16

    This is the answer in fraction form.
    ::这是分数形式的答案 。

    How can this fraction be expressed as a decimal?
    ::如何用小数点表示这个分数?

    The fraction can be expressed as a decimal by dividing the numerator by the denominator.
    ::分数可以用分母除以分母来表示小数。

    1 6 = 6 ) 1.0000 ¯     0.1666

    The answer is 0.1666… or 0.167.
    ::答案是0.1666 或0.167

    How can this decimal be expressed as a percent?
    ::如何用百分比表示这个小数点?

    The decimal can be expressed as a percent by multiply the decimal by 100 since a percent is out of 100. Then, move the decimal point two places to the right to show the percent.
    ::小数点可以以百分比表示,乘以小数点乘以100,因为百分率超过100。 然后,将小数点两点移到显示百分率的右方。

    % = 0.167 × 100 % = 16.7

    The answer is 16.7%.
    ::答案是16.7%。

    The decimal 0.167 is equal to 16.7%.
    ::小数点0.167等于16.7%。

    To summarize, the probability of rolling a 3 with a number cube is 1 out of 6 and can be expressed in the following forms.
    ::概括地说,以数字立方体滚动一个3的概率是每6个中就有1个,可以以下列形式表示。

    Ratio 1:6
    Fraction   1 6
    Decimal 0.167
    Percent 16.7%

    Example 1
    ::例1

    Earlier, you were given a problem about  your spinner with the four colors. You have a spinner with the colors green, blue, red and yellow. You want to determine the probability of landing on green expressed as a fraction, a decimal, and a percent.
    ::早些时候, 您被给出了四色的旋转器问题 。 您有一个绿色、 蓝色、 红色和黄色的旋转器 。 您想要确定在绿色上着陆的概率, 以小数、 小数和百分比表示 。

    First, write the fraction.
    ::首先,写分数。

    Green is one out of four colors. Therefore the fraction is:
    ::绿色是四种颜色中的一种。 因此分数是:

    1 4

    Next, write the decimal.
    ::下一位,写小数点

    1 4 = 4 ) 1.00 ¯     0.25

    Then, write the percent.
    ::然后,写百分比。

    % = 0.25 × 100 % = 25
    The answers are 1 4 , 0.25  and 25 % .

    The probability of spinning the spinner and landing on green is 1 4  or 0.25  or 25 % .
    ::旋转旋转器和在绿色上着陆的概率为14或0.25或25%。

    Example 2
    ::例2

    Kelly is playing a game at a carnival. She threw four out of 9 rings onto pins. If you write this as a fraction you get 4 9 .
    ::Kelly在嘉年华会上玩游戏,她把9个环中的4个扔到针上。如果你把它写成一个分数,你就会得到49个。

    What is it as a decimal or as a percent?
    ::什么是十进制还是百分数?

    First, divide 4 by 9 to create a decimal.
    ::首先,将4除以9以创建小数点。

    4 9 = 9 ) 4.0000 ¯     0.4444

    The answer is 0.4444… or 0.44.
    ::答案是0.4444... 或0.44

    Next, change the decimal to a percent.
    ::接下来,将小数点修改为百分之一。

    % = 0.44 × 100 % = 44

    The answer is 44%.
    ::答案是44%。

    The decimal 0.44 is equal to 44%.
    ::小数点0.44等于44%。

    Kelly’s probability is about 44% or she hits the pins 44% of the time. The word “about” is used because the answer was rounded from the decimal to the percent.
    ::Kelly的概率约为44%左右,或者她到了44%的时间。 使用“接近”一词是因为答案从小数点到百分比四舍五入。

    Example 3
    ::例3

    Write two out of five in fraction form.
    ::5个中写2个成分数形式。

    Two out of five  = 2 5
    ::5个中2个=25

    Example 4
    ::例4

    Write two out of five in decimal form.
    ::以小数数形式写出五分之二。

    2 5 = 5 ) 2.0 ¯     0.4

    The answer is 0.4.
    ::答案是0.4

    Example 5
    ::例5

    Write two out of five in percent form.
    ::以百分比形式写出五分之二

    % = 0.4 × 100 % = 40

    The answer is 40%.
    ::答案是40%。
