Answer 1

To convert a percent to a decimal, divide by 100. To convert a decimal to a percent, multiply by 100.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert a percent to a decimal, divide the percent by 100.

For example, for a) 275%, we divide 275 by 100, which gives us 2.75 as the decimal equivalent.

You can represent this on a number line by placing a point at 2.75.

To convert a decimal to a percent, multiply the decimal by 100. For example, for f) 0.58, we multiply 0.58 by 100, which gives us 58%.
