Question

about 7/10% of the passengers on the cruise ship swam in the ships pool on the first day of the cruise. How would you express this number as a decimal and as a percent

Answer 1

Explanation:

To express 7/10% as a decimal, we divide 7/10 by 100:

7/10 ÷ 100 = 0.007

Therefore, 7/10% is equivalent to 0.007 as a decimal.

To express 0.007 as a percent, we multiply by 100 and add the percent symbol:

0.007 × 100% = 0.7%

Therefore, 7/10% is equivalent to 0.7% as a percent.
