Hi. Okay, #16 says write a decimal between 0.5 and 0.75. Then write it as a fraction in simplest form and as a percent.
write a decimal = I will pick 0.15 - now we need to write it as a fraction since the 5 is in the hundredths place our fractions would be:
15/100 = 3/20 (simplest form)
Now to change .15 to a percent we simply move the decimal two places to the right and add a % sign so. 15 = 15%
Question 17
How would you write 43 3/4% as a decimal
For this one, it is a lot easier than you think. The answer is 43.75. Let me tell you how...
To change 3/4 to a decimal, you are merely dividing the 4 into 3.00, hence the .75 and then just bring the 43 over. With problem like this that end in 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 just think of 4 quarters---1 quarter =.24, 2 quarters = .50, 3 quarters =.75
Question 16 answer is: .15, 15/100=3/20 and 15%
Question 17 answer is: 43.75
I hope this helps. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
Take care,
Diana
