Question

How do you convert 3/20 into a decimal and percent?

Answer 1

`0.15 and 15%`

Explanation:

Divide the numerator by the denominator to change to a decimal. Then multiply the decimal by 100% to change to a percent.

`3/20 = 0.15`

`0.15 xx 100% = 15%`

Percent is parts per hundred so the numerator of a number with 100 as the denominator is the percent .

`3/20 xx 5/5 = 15/100` so

`3/20 = 15%`
