A five-question interactive challenges mathematicians to solve word problems involving fractions as percents. Baking two different types of cookies and needing the exact amount requires scholars to make fractions, turn them into decimals, then convert those decimals to percents. Question types include multiple-choice and true or false. A final discussion question closes the practice.
