Answer 1

The required expression is

Explanation:

Given : Percentage
`(1)/(2)\%`

To find : Express the given percent as a decimal ?

Solution :

To convert percentage into decimal,

To remove percentage sign we divide the given number by 100.

So,
`(1)/(2)\%=0.5\%`

Remove percentage,

`(1)/(2)\%=(0.5)/(100)`

Now, Put decimal after three digit

`(1)/(2)\%=0.005`

As we have to round it to five decimal places,

`(1)/(2)\%=0.00500`

Therefore, The required expression is
`(1)/(2)\%=0.00500`
