Question

Write 76% as a decimal and also a reduced fraction.

Answer 1

Write 76% as a decimal and as a reduced fraction.

Decimal : 0.76

Fraction : 76/100, which then simplifies to 38/50, because you divide the numerator & denominator by 2. Then, you divide them by 2 again, and get 19/25. 

Reduced Fraction : 19/25

2) Po messes up 4 out of every 10 moves. 

So, to make this slightly easier, we're going to turn that (above) into a fraction!

Fraction : 4/10

Then, we turn it into a decimal.

To turn it into a decimal, multiply 4/10 by 10/10, so that the denominator is 100. 

Fraction: 4/10 × 10/10 = 40/100

Decimal : Because the denominator is 100, all we have to do is add a decimal marking 2 places to the left of the last digit. (0.40)

Now, because we have our decimal, we simply say that the percentage is 40%.

Why? Because if the decimal is in the hundredths place, all you need to do is take the numbers on the right side of the decimal marking, and add a percentage sign to it.
