Question

24½% is equal to which decimal?

Answer 1

`24(1)/(2)\%` is equal to 0.245 in decimal form.

Explanation:

Given percentage =
`24(1)/(2)\%`

This can be rewritten as
`(49)/(2)\%`

We have write
`(49)/(2)\%` in decimal form.

First convert Percentage into fraction by dividing the number by 100.

We have,
`(49)/(2)\%=(49)/(200)`

Now converting fraction into decimals by dividing 49 by 200.

We get,
`(49)/(200)=0.245`

Thus,
`24(1)/(2)\%` is equal to 0.245 in decimal form.

Answer 2

The correct answer is 0.245

Explanation:

To convert X% to decimal we have to divide the given number by 100.

24½ is a mixed fraction.

Convert mixed fraction to improper fraction

24½ = (24*2 + 1)/2 = 49/2

To find decimal form of 24½%

(49/2)/100 = 49/200

49/100 = 0.245

Therefore the 24½% is equal 0.245(in decimal)

24½% = 0.245
