How to turn 0.068 to a percent

Answer 1

move decimal point over to the right 2 times. so answer is 6.8%. 

Answer 2

"Percent" means "per 100" or "over 100". So, to convert 0.068 to percent we rewrite 0.068 in terms of "per 100" or over 100.

Multiply 0.068 by 100/100. Since 100/100 = 1, we are only multiplying by 1 and not changing the value of our number.

`(0.068)/(1)` ×
`(100)/(100)` =
`(6.8)/(100)`

6.8/100 is 6.8 over 100 and means 6.8 per 100. 6.8 "per 100" means 6.8 "percent" or 6.8%

Therefore, we have shown that

0.068 = 6.8%
