Question

How do you convert 4/5 into a decimal and percent?

Answer 1

The decimal is 0.8 and the percent value is 80%

Explanation:

The change from fraction to decimal can always be done by dividing the denominator into the numerator. Sometimes you get a decimal that terminates, and sometimes it repeats after a certain number of digits.

In the case of `4/5`, we get `4-:5=0.8`

Next, to express this as a percent, just multiply the decimal by 100 (as "percent" really means "out of 100").

`0.8 xx 100% = 80%`
