Answer 1

Answer:

The required expression is $\frac{1}{2}\%=0.00500$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Percentage $\frac{1}{2}\%$

To find : Express the given percent as a decimal ?

Solution :

To convert percentage into decimal,

To remove percentage sign we divide the given number by 100.

So, $\frac{1}{2}\%=0.5\%$

Remove percentage,

$\frac{1}{2}\%=\frac{0.5}{100}$

Now, Put decimal after three digit

$\frac{1}{2}\%=0.005$

As we have to round it to five decimal places,

$\frac{1}{2}\%=0.00500$

Therefore, The required expression is $\frac{1}{2}\%=0.00500$
