To convert a decimal to a percentage, multiply by 100 and add a percent sign.
0.05 • 100 = 5
0.05 as a percent is 5%.
To convert a decimal to a fraction, you find what place each value is in first.
The 5 in in the hundredths place, so the denominator would be 100 and the numerator would be 5.
0.05 as a fraction is 5/100.
To simplify a fraction, find the GCF (greatest common factor) of the numerator and denominator, then divide both sides by it.
5 is the largest factor of 5 and, since it goes into 200 as well, that makes it the GCF of 5 and 200.
Now divide 5 by 5 and 200 by 5.
5 / 5 = 1
200 / 5 = 40
5/100 in lowest terms, also known as simplest form, is 1/40.
Hope this helps! :)
