Write a decimal between 0.5 and 0.75.
Solution:
Since we are free to choose any number between 0.5 and 0.75, we will choose the number, 0.6.
Now we are asked to convert 0.6 to fraction and percentage.
To convert a decimal to fraction, we simply treat the decimal as a whole number, then divide it by its place value which in our case is 10. Thus, we divide 6 with 10.
= 6/10
= 3/5
In order to convert it into percentage, we multiply the decimal by 100. Hence, in converting a percentage into decimal, we divide the percentage by 100.
= (0.6)(100)
= 60%
Final answer:
= 3/5
= 60%
