how do you change percents to decimals and fractions?

hero (hero):

Percent means division by 100 For example, 12% means 12/100 but 12/100 means "12 hundredths" which is the same as 0.12

thank you

hero (hero):

Your teacher probably didn't explain it to you this way.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no i was explained in a complicated way.

hero (hero):

That's unfortunate. But I think you understand now, hopefully.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i do

hero (hero):

Okay, so if that's true, then change 38% to fraction and decimal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

fraction-19/50 decimal-0.38

hero (hero):

Yes, that is correct. When you are converting from percent to fraction to decimal, it is best not to reduce the fraction because: 38% = 38/100 = 0.38

hero (hero):

You must understand this relationship

yes i do
