Answer 1

See below for the completed table

Explanation:

A percentage is a number or ratio written as a fraction of 100. It is usually denoted using the symbol %.

To convert from percentage to fraction, divide the percentage by 100.

`25\%=(25)/(100)`

You can then convert the fraction to a decimal where:

`(25)/(100)=0.25\text{ (In decimal form)}`

Using the method described above, we calculate for the other values on the table:

`\begin{gathered} 50\%=(50)/(100)=0.5 \\ 100\%=(100)/(100)=1 \\ 1\%=(1)/(100)=0.01 \\ 37.5\%=(37.5)/(100)=0.375 \\ 110\%=(110)/(100)=1.1 \\ (1)/(2)\%=(0.5)/(100)=0.005 \end{gathered}`
