Question

What is 45% in a decimal

Answer 1

0.45

Explanation:

Percent is per 100, so the fraction is 45/100.

The decimal is the numerator, but you need to swoop 2 times.

Therefore, the answer is 0.45.

Answer 2

Answer: 0.45

Step-by-step explanation: To write a percent as a decimal, first remember that a percent is a ratio that compares a number to 100.

So we can think of 45% as the ratio 45 to 100 or 45 ÷ 100.

Dividing by 100 moves the decimal point two places to the left so 45 ÷ 100 will move the decimal point two places to the left which would give us .45 or 0.45.

Therefore, 45% can be written as the decimal 0.45.
