Question

350% as a decimal and as a mixed fraction

Answer 1

To convert a percent into a decimal you must move the decimal point 2 places to the left, and then drop the 0 since it is no longer of any value being on the right side of the decimal point.
 Therefore, the answer is 3.5 as a decimal.

To convert a percent into a mixed fraction, you first write down the percent divided by 100 like this: percent 100.
 Then, if the percent is not a whole number, multiply both top and bottom by 10 for every number after the decimal point.
Finally, simplify (or reduce) the faction.
 Therefore, the answer is 3$\frac{1}{2}$ as a mixed faction.

Answer 2

Generally, converting a percentage to a fraction involves dividing it by 100, as percents are values out of 100.
So we divide 350 by 100 to get decimal form: $\frac{350}{100}=3.5$

As for mixed fractions, you will need to find a multiple of the denominator that is as close as possible to the fraction form of the percentage.
So here we have $\frac{350}{100}$; to convert this from an improper number to a mixed number, we need to find the closest multiple of 100 to the numerator, 350.
That would be 3, since $3\times100=300$.
Therefore you will now have a fractional sum of  $\frac{300+50}{100}$. As 300 divided by 100 is 3, that's the whole number part... the remaining 50 will go into the fractional part, giving you $3\frac{50}{100}$ or $3\frac{1}{2}$
