@iPwnBunnies 5/8% as a fraction and a decimal in simplelist form…Sorry dyslexia
Do you mean 5/8 as a decimal? Or really 5/8 percent?
5/8 percent…That is what confuzzled me
Ahh ok. Do you know what 5/8 is in decimal form?
.625?
Good. Now, when converting percentages to decimals, you want to move the decimal two places to the left.
For example: If we have 50%, it'll be 0.5 in decimal form. Since we have 0.625%, what would that be in decimal form?
.00625 I think
Yes, 5/8% written as a decimal is 0.00625.
62.5?
Now, as a fraction. "percent" means out of 100
For example: If we want to write 75% as a fraction, it would 75/100 = 3/4.
thx SO MUCH! This has helped me because my teacher doesn't really explain things clearly…
75 percent = 75 out of 100 parts.
What did you get?
.00625 AND 1/32
That's not the correct fraction, try again. \[\frac{5}{8} \div 100 = \frac{5}{8}*\frac{1}{100}\]
1/160? This is so complicated thx for helping. :)
Correct, good job.
thank you…I might have some more questions later… *hugz*
write each fraction or decimal as a percent. Round to the nearest tenth of a percent if necessary… 7/500 AND 0.8/100… I'm really sorry- our teacher just doesn't really explain well
This is easy. Find the decimal number of 7/500. Move the decimal to the right two places and add a percent sign. For the second fraction, remember I said percent is the same as out of 100? Since 0.8 is out of 100, it'll simply be...
.008?
Nooooo, remember: 75/100 = 75%; 342/100 = 342%. What is 0.8/100 in percentage?
80… sorry
What did you get for the first one, too.
UR CONFUSING ME!
Why would 0.8/100 = 80%? Again, percent is out of 100. So 0.8/100 = 0.8%
FACEPALMS…lol gotcha
