Question

For the fraction 3/25, (a) write a percent and (b) write a decimal.

Answer 1

a. 12%

b. 0.12

Explanation:

To make it easier to write it in both forms, you can make it into a fraction with 100 in the denominator.

You know that 25 * 4 = 100, so you would want to multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 4.

(3*4)/(25*4) = 12/100

12/100 is equal to 12%.

You can move the decimal two places to the left to divide it by 100.

12/100 is also equal to 0.12.

Answer 2

12%

.12

Explanation:

3/25 * 4/4 = 12/100

We know that out of 100 means percent

12%

Since it is over 100, move the decimal 2 places to the left

.12
