Question

half of 1 percent is written as a decimal as
a.0.2
b.0.02
c.0.005
d.0.05
answer with process
​

Answer 1

Answer:

0.005 is correct answer

Answer 2

Answer:

0.005

we know that percentage means out of one hundred

which implies 1 percent is 1 out of hundred

=> 1 percent of hundred = (1/100)

by solving (1/100) into decimal form we get 0.01

which implies 1 percent of hundred that is 1 percent in decimal is 0.01

now we need to find the value of half of one percent

that is (1/100)

2 = (1/200)

now converting (1/200)into decimal form we get 0.005

so the answer is 0.005which is the decimal form of half of one percent (out of hundred) so the correct answer is option d

we can also find the decimal form of half of 1% in another process that is after finding the decimal form of 1% we can find a half of 1% by a dividing the decimal form of 1% with two or we can first divide the fraction form of 1% and then converting into decimal the second process is done in the solution the first process will be as follows we got that the decimal form of 1% of 0.01 now by dividing it by 2 we get , (0.01/2) = (0.005)

Either way,the answer is the same
