Explanation:

Step1: Convert decimals to percentages

To convert a decimal to a percentage, multiply by 100.

Step2: Match 1.9

$1.9\times100 = 190\%$, so 1.9 matches d) 190%.

Step3: Match 0.9

$0.9\times100=90\%$, so 0.9 matches e) 90%.

Step4: Match 0.09

$0.09\times 100 = 9\%$, so 0.09 matches f) 9%.

Step5: Match 0.99

$0.99\times100 = 99\%$, so 0.99 matches b) 99%.

Step6: Match 1.09

$1.09\times100=109\%$, so 1.09 matches a) 109%.

Step7: Match 0.009

$0.009\times100 = 0.9\%$, so 0.009 matches c) 0.9%.

Step8: Convert $\frac{4}{5}$ to decimal

$\frac{4}{5}=4\div5 = 0.8$.

Step9: Marcy's distance as fraction

1.15 as a fraction is $\frac{115}{100}=\frac{23}{20}$.

Step10: Students on field - trip as decimal

$\frac{19}{20}=19\div20 = 0.95$.

Step11: 145% as fraction

$145\%=\frac{145}{100}=\frac{29}{20}$.

Step12: Equivalent of 95%

$95\%=\frac{95}{100}=0.95$, and $\frac{19}{20}=\frac{19\times5}{20\times5}=\frac{95}{100}=0.95$. So b), c), d) are equivalent to 95%.

Answer:

1. d) 190%
2. e) 90%
3. f) 9%
4. b) 99%
5. a) 109%
6. c) 0.9%
7. 0.8
8. $\frac{23}{20}$
9. 0.95
10. $\frac{29}{20}$
11. b) 0.95, c) $\frac{19}{20}$, d) $\frac{95}{100}$
