Answer 4

This process is actually easy! An easy way to multiply a decimal by 100 is to move the decimal point two places to the right. Here's an example. Let's say we have the decimal 0.63. If we multiply 0.63 by 100, we'd get 63. Now, just move the decimal over 2 spaces and add a % sign. Now, we have 63%. See, it's really simple! You can do this with any decimal. And if that doesn't make sense to you, just think of it this way. Hope I helped! If not, just tell me and I will try to explain it more.

Answer 10

hey @PicklePlanet do you know how to do this?
What is 1.05% written as a decimal?

Answer 11

do you move the decimal to the left 2 times? to get 0.0105?

Answer 12

Yes! Just hold on...

Answer 13

To find out how to turn a fraction into a decimal, write down the percent divided by 100.
Let's say we have the percent 1.05. First, we divide 1.05% by 100, which equals 0.0105. So yes, you're correct.

Answer 14

ok ty!

Answer 15

do you know how to turn a fraction into a percentage? do you first turn the fraction 5/16 into a decimal by taking the top number then dividing the bottom number to get 0.375 then to get the percentage you move the decimal to the right 2 times to get 37.5 for your percentage

Answer 16

@PicklePlanet

Answer 17

To convert fractions to percents, all you need to do is divide the top of the fraction by the bottom, multiply by 100 and add a "%" sign. Alright let's say we had the fraction 2/5. To turn that into a percent, we need to divide 2 by 5, which equals 0.4. Now, we multiply by 100, which equals 40. Therefore, 2/5 = 40%.

Answer 18

ok ty so i did do it correctly

Answer 19

Well, if you turned 5/16 into a percent, you'd have to divide 5 to 16, which equals 0.3125. Then, we will multiply 0.3125 by 100, getting 31.25%. Your answer 37.5%, so you were close, but not quite right.

Answer 20

But don't worry, you'll get the hang of it!
