Answer 1

Answer:

Fraction: 33/100, decimal: 0.33

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is basically asking how to convert 33% into a fraction and a decimal. To convert a percentage into a fraction place it over 100.

33% --> 33/100; this cannot be simplified further.

To convert a percentage into a decimal move the decimal point two places to the left.

33% --> 0.33
