Question

Convert the following percentage into decimals 9\24 by showing method

Answer 1

By percentage you mean fraction.

Answer:

0.375

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to convert the denominator to a number which has zeros in the end, *we need to make it a decimal fraction (a fraction which has 10, 100, 1000, 10000, 1000000, 10000000... in the denominator).

24 divided by 3 equals to 8.

8 x 125 = 1000

so, this is what we have done to the denominator:

(denominator/3) x 125

$therefore$, we have to the the same with the numerator to make it an equivalent fractional pair.

9/3= 3

3 x 125= 375

Our fraction ends up as ;

$375/1000$

TO CONVERT 375/1000 IN DECIMALS....... WE HAVE TO ASSUME...

There is the decimal point at the end of the number 375

= $375.0$

As there are 3 zeros in 1,000, the point will move 3 numbers to the left

=$0.375$

This is how we get our answer as;

0.375
