How to convert percentage to decimals.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Darina [25.2K]3 years ago
6 0

Step-by-step explanation: To write a percent as a decimal, first remember that a percent is a ratio that compares a number to 100.

If we want to convert any percent to a decimal, you want to think of the percent as a ratio of the percent to 100 or the percent divided by 100.

Dividing by 100 moves the decimal point 2 places to the left so we will move the decimal point 2 places to the right to get our answer.

Let's look at an example.

<em>Write the following percent as a decimal</em>. 9%

We know that we can change a percent to a decimal by simply moving the decimal point 2 places to the left.

So in this problem, to write 9% as a decimal, we simply move the decimal point 2 places to the left and fill in the missing position with a zero.

So 9% can be written as the decimal <em>.</em>09 or 0<em>.</em>09.

A common mistake in this problem is to write 9% as the decimal 0.9 but remember to move the decimal point 2 places to the left so our answer is 0<em>.</em>09.

Answer:

\frac{3}{500}

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by converting 5 meters to centimeters. Note 1 meter = 100 centimeters.

We can set up a unit converter:

5m(\frac{100cm}{1m})

The meters cancel out leaving us with:

5*100cm=500cm

The scale factor is:

\frac{drawing}{real\ life}=\frac{3cm}{500cm}=\frac{3}{500}

algol [13]
The last choice, do an is the x value so you would look at the x values which is -4, 6. And range is the y values so the highest y value and the lowest. Which is -5,4. So you answer is the last option

Find the sample standard deviation:
zlopas [31]

Answer:

<h2>B. 7.1</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sample data 2 6 15 9 11 22 1 4 8 19, before we can get the standard deviation, we need to first calculate the mean.

mean = 2 +6 +15 +9 +11 +22 +1 +4 +8 +19/10

mean = 97/10

mean = 9.7

Standard deviation for ungrouped data is expressed using the formula;

S = \sqrt{ \dfrac{\sum(x-\overline x)^2}{n-1} }

\overline x \ is\ the \ mean\\n \ is \ sample \ size

S = \sqrt{\frac{(2-9.7)^2+(6-9.7)^2+(15-9.7)^2+(9-9.7)^2+(11-9.7)^2+(22-9.7)^2+(1-9.7)^2+(4-9.7)^2+(8-9.7)^2+(19-9.7)^2}{10-1} }\\ S = \sqrt{\frac{(-7.7)^2+(-3.7)^2+(5.3)^2+(-0.7)^2+(1.3)^2+(12.3)^2+(-8.7)^2+(-5.7)^2+(-1.7)^2+(9.3)^2}{10-1} }\\\\S =  \sqrt{\dfrac{59.29+13.69+28.09+0.49+1.69+151.29+75.69+32.49+2.89+86.49}{10-1} }\\\\\\S =  \sqrt{\dfrac{452.1}{9} }\\\\S = \sqrt{50.23}\\ \\S = 7.08\\\\S \approx 7.1

<em>Hence the standard deviation of the sample data is 7.1</em>
