Tell why sometimes you write the percent as a fraction and other times as a decimal when you find the percent of a number.

A percentage is a portion out of 100, and because it is a portion of a whole it can be written as a fraction of an amount (in this case a fraction of 100). You can also rewrite this as a decimal because a fraction is essentially the same thing as a division problem and when you divide a number by 100 you usually get a decimal (if the numerator is smaller than 100 that is), and also because decimals are similar to fractions because they represent parts a whole unit for instance the percentage 72% is equivalent to the fraction 72/100 which is the same as 72 divided by 100 which is the same as the decimal 0.72.

Sorry for the long explanation but I hope this helped!

PLS HELP ASAP PLZ PLZ PLZ
KIM [24]
I am unsure about the very last problem but I can help with the first two

1) (y+1)+4

If we combine the numbers 1 and 4, we get +5 and can isolate the numbers from the variable.

This would give us

y + 5 =

2) (6*r)*7

remember that we do not have to explicitly state 6*r

Instead, we can write it as 6r

this helps us get rid of the parentheses

now we can write it as 6r * 7=

I hope this helps!:)

VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

Rational

Step-by-step explanation:

1.256 is not a whole #, and it's also not an integer. An integer is basically whole #s and their opposites. The # is not irrational. 1.256 is a terminating decimal, and can be turned into a fraction. 1.256 = 1 32/125.
