Question from Frances, a student:

Ask an expert to find out their real life usage of your topic... that is the question.
meaning what is your real life usage of using decimals,fractions and percentages.

Hi Frances,

I don't like the term "real life usage". I use math every day of my life and I bet you do also and our lives are just as real as any anyone else's. At Math Central we use the term "math beyond school".

Go to the Quandaries and Queries page on Math Central and use the Quick Search to search for the term math beyond school decimals.

Now try math beyond school fractions and finally math beyond school percent.

If you need more yo can go to the Math Beyond School section of Math Central and use the Search to search for the terms decimals, fractions and percent.
