Question

converting percents to decimals. to convert a percent to a decimal enter the number then divide by 100 to get the decimal equivalent. if the percent is in fraction or mixed number form, convert the answer to a decimal first by dividing the numerator by the denominator or by using (f→d), option 4 from the fraction menu. lets try some! write the decimal that is equal to the percent given on the line provided. round your answers to the thousandths place value. that means three decimal places. remember that repeating decimals need to be shortened to the digit(s) that repeats with a line drawn above it. 16) 24% = 17) 2.5% = 18) 147% = 19) 52.9% = 20) 9 3/8 % = 21) 6% =

Explanation:

Step1: Recall conversion rule

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

Step2: Convert 24%

$24\div100 = 0.24$

Step3: Convert 2.5%

$2.5\div100=0.025$

Step4: Convert 147%

$147\div100 = 1.47$

Step5: Convert 52.9%

$52.9\div100=0.529$

Step6: Convert $9\frac{3}{8}\%$

First, convert the mixed - number to an improper fraction: $9\frac{3}{8}=\frac{9\times8 + 3}{8}=\frac{75}{8}$. Then $\frac{75}{8}\%=\frac{75}{8}\div100=\frac{75}{8}\times\frac{1}{100}=\frac{75}{800}=\frac{3}{32}= 0.09375$

Step7: Convert 6%

$6\div100 = 0.06$

Answer:

1. $0.24$
2. $0.025$
3. $1.47$
4. $0.529$
5. $0.09375$
6. $0.06$
