Question

Convert 35% into a decimal and a fraction. Show/explain your strategy.

Answer 1

decimal =0.35 and fraction= 7/20

Explanation:

For removing percentage sign , divide by 100 so 35% becomes 35/100 and for converting it into decimal just add a decimal point before 35 since there is 100 in the denominator so it becomes 0.35 .

For converting 35% into fraction just remove the percentage first by dividing by 100 so it becomes 35/100 and take out a factor of 5 common from both numerator and denominator so 35/100 becomes 7/20 .
