Question

Express 275% as a decimal number

Answer 1

Hello there! 

Alright so, 100% is equal to 1, because think about it as a fraction, 2/3 is 66%, because it's not full, and 2/3 is 66%, but it's also .66(etc). So, in order to get 100% you'd have to have a 3/3.

I'm going to use 4/4. so in order to go above 100% you'd have to add more.

8/4 is 200% because it divides to 2.00

So now just add 3 more because 3/4 is 75%

11/4 is 275%

Which also divides to 2.75

2.75 is your answer, hope this helped!
