Answer:

29/40 can be expressed as:

  • 0.725 as a decimal
  • 72.5% as a percentage

Explanation:

a decimal is a fraction written in a different way, for example 0.725, the 0 represents the place where the ones should be, the 7 represents the tenths place, the 2 represents the hundredths place, and the 5 represents the thousandths place.

Decimal numbers are written on a ten base:

123.456

1: hundreds

2: tens

3: ones

4: tenths (1/10)

5: hundredths (1/100)

6: thousandths (1/1000)
