It is helpful to write them in different ways
some ways to write them are
1.fractions
2.decimals
3.squareroots (if applicable)
so it would be more helpful in an equation to leave 6/7 in fractional form if you are going to manipulate it more, because 0.857142857142... is much harder to keep track of than 6/7
and sometimes, they want a percent which is easier to convert to from decimal form than from fractinoal form so ex 0.857142857142...=85.7% vs 6/7 to percent
sometimes there will be square roots and they are easier if left like that ex
√2=1.4142135623...
it would be easier to leav it in square root
it depends on the equation you are trying to solve, because different forms have different pros and cons, some are easier to work with in a certain form but not in another, sometimes, you will need to change between multipule forms during the same problem

Answer:
.19
Step-by-step explanation:
Part a)
The mean height is 69 inches with a standard deviation of 2.5 inches.
If we consider a interval of heights that relies on no more than two standard deviations from the mean, we will cover, approximatelly, 95% of men's heights. Then, we interval that we're looking for is:
Answer: 64 TO 74 INCHES
Part b)
Since [69,74] is half of the interval in the previous answer, we might expect half of 95% as the percentage of men who are in this interval. That is:
Answer: 47.5 PERCENT
Part c)
A interval of heights that relies on no more than one standard deviation from the mean covers, approximatelly, 68% of men's heights. Then, we can consider that the percentage of men that are between 64 and 66.5 inches is given by 47.5 - 68/2 = 13.5.
Answr: 13.5 PERCENT
