Question

Number 17 and 16 plz help

Answer 1

Hi. Okay, #16 says write a decimal between 0.5 and 0.75. Then write it as a fraction in simplest form and as a percent.

write a decimal = I will pick 0.15 - now we need to write it as a fraction since the 5 is in the hundredths place our fractions would be:

15/100 = 3/20 (simplest form)

Now to change .15 to a percent we simply move the decimal two places to the right and add a % sign so. 15 = 15%

Question 17
How would you write 43 3/4% as a decimal

For this one, it is a lot easier than you think. The answer is 43.75. Let me tell you how...

To change 3/4 to a decimal, you are merely dividing the 4 into 3.00, hence the .75 and then just bring the 43 over. With problem like this that end in 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 just think of 4 quarters---1 quarter =.24, 2 quarters = .50, 3 quarters =.75

Question 16 answer is: .15,  15/100=3/20 and 15%
Question 17 answer is: 43.75

I hope this helps. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Take care,
