Question

Jakob is volunteering at the local animal shelter. After grooming some cats, the veterinarian on-site gave Jakob a slip of paper that read, "Thanks for volunteering So far, you have groomed 0.09 of the cats in the shelter." What percent of the cats has Jakob groomed?

Answer 1

If Jakob has groomed 0.09 of the cats in the shelter, he has groomed 9% of the cats in the shelter.

We figure this out because we know that to convert a decimal to a percentage, we must multiply the decimal by 100 (equivalent to moving the decimal two places to the right).

0.09 * 100 = 9

Therefore, Jakob has groomed 9% of the cats in the shelter.

Hope this helps!
