Answer 2

Given : Half percent.

To find : Converting the given percent into decimal.

Solution :

We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process. (our goal is to convert the given percent into its decimal form)

Here, we will be using the general method of percent to decimal conversion. Which is -

If a given percent is = x%

Then,

Its decimal form will be = $\frac{x}{100}$

Now, half percent means 0.5% (As, Half = ½ = 0.5)

So, the decimal form will be :

= 0.5%

$= \frac{0.5}{100}$

$= 0.005$

(This will be considered as the final result of the given mathematical problem.)

Hence, half percent, written as a decimal, is 0.005
