How is being able to convert between decimals fractions and percentages useful in real life?
Qqchua
Well... if you plan on being rich, you may want to calculate what percentage of your total net worth is invested in Apple & what percentage is invested in your mansion.
If you want to save money at the grocery store, you may need those math skills to calculate whether you can save more by buying the big box of cereal or two small ones. (It's not always the big one you know!)
If you want to budget your money, so you can afford that Disney vacation and still buy your mom a Christmas present, percentages and fractions are helpful.
If you want to earn a lot of money by being an accountant, a banker, an actuary, a CFO (chief financial officer), a financier, a Stock Market analyst, an engineer or a business owner, those math skills will be necessary.
In general, did you know that people in math related professions usually work in great conditions (air conditioning, paid vacations, they don't punch a time clock ... flexible hours) AND make more money than people in non-math related professions?
So... even though you don't see the use of learning your math skills and sometimes your teacher is confusing you more than helping you, work hard to learn them and you will be better off in life. Be thankful that you have the internet to answer anything that your teacher cannot.
