Question

What's bigger 35% or 1/3

Answer 1

`(1)/(3)` = 0.33... rounded to the nearest tenth is 0.30.
35% rounded to the nearest ten's place is 40%. So you can tell the different by looking at the number that they are rounded by. 35% is bigger than
`(1)/(3)`. You can also tell by putting both problem as in the hundredths place.

Answer 2

First we need to convert both to decimals.

Converting a percentage to a decimal is done by dividing by 100 or by moving the decimal place to the left 2 places.

`(35)/(100)=0.35`

Converting a fraction to a decimal is done simply by dividing.

`(1)/(3)=.33`(answer is rounded to nearest hundredths)

So as you can tell 35% is bigger than
`(1)/(3)`
