Percentages, Fractions, and Decimal Values
Percentages are defined as a fraction or portion of a whole. Generally percentages deal with an amount out of one hundred but can be used in sales, economics, and science. If you've walked into any store you're sure to find something marked a certain percent off. Fractions are not whole numbers with a numerator over a denominator. Usually the numerator and denominator are expressed as integers. There are four types of fractions: simple fractions, complex fractions, mixed fractions, and improper fractions. Decimals are also not integers. They are expressed often like 0.34 and are often rounded off since some go for too long. Both decimals and fractions are also used to convert to percentages.

What is the fraction of .0025?
0.0025 = 0.0025/1.0000
Cancel down the decimal points
Hence
00025/10000
Drop the prefix zeroes.
25/10000
Cancel down by '25'
25/10000 = 1/400 The simplest form
What is the fraction of 70 percent?
70% =70/100 = 7/10 (Fraction) or 0.7 (Decimal)
NB 'percent' means out of '100', from Latin 'centum' for 'hundred'.
0.0018 in word form is "eighteen thousandths." This is because the number 0.0018 is made up of 1/10 (which is "one") and 8/1000 (which is "eighteen thousandths"). So, when you combine these two parts, you get "eighteen thousandths."
What is 7.66666666 as an improper fraction?
69/9
However, It is written as a terminating decimal.
Do you mean as a decimal recurring to infinity. In which case it should be written as 7.6666666..... ( Note the three or more dots after last decimal digit.
NB THis is the mathematical notation to indicate ' recurring to infinity'.
In which case 7.6666..... = 7 2/3 and as an improper fraction it is ' 23/3 '.
What is 3 billion times 33 percent?
3.000.000.000 X 33/100 = 990.000.000 ( nine hundred and ninety million).
How do you round decimals to the nearest whole number?
Sometimes it is advantageous to express a value in round numbers. To round to a particular place, look at the digit immediately to the right of the one you want to round to, in this case, the tenths place. If that digit is 4, 3, 2, 1 or 0, zero it and everything to the right of it out. If that digit is 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9, increase your target digit by one and zero everything to the right of it out. If your target digit is 9, it will become a zero and increase the digit to the left of it by one.
Decimals that are less than 0.5 round to zero.
What is the decimal equivalent of 111111111111111?
111111111111111 in binary is 32767 in decimal (base 10)
What is 260 percent in a decimal and mix fraction?
No such percentage as ' 260% ' . 100% is totality.
'260%' is an ignorant play on numbers to make a value look bigger than t really is.
As a decimal it 260.0
As a fraction it is 260/100 = 26/10 = 13/5 = 2 3/5 = 2.6
What people mean when they say '260%' in something has increased 2.6 times.
However, 260% sound more impressive than 2.6
Where do you place the decimal in the answer when multiplying decimals?
Count up the number of decimals in BOTH multiples. The decimsl point goes in at the total number of counted places.
e.g.
1.2 X 2.4
The number of decimal places in both multiples is '1' each, making a total of '2'.
the multiplication of 12 X 24 = 288 . So the decimal point goes in at TWO(2) decimal places. . The correct answer is 2.88 .
Similarly.
2.44 X 34.2
There are three ( 2 + 1 = 3) total places.
Hence
244 X 342 = 83443 . So the decimal point goes in a the third(3) decimal place. ' 83.443 '. The answer!!!!!
Casually, we can say 2 x 34 = 68 . So since there are decimal places as well, then the answer must be greater than '68', which is 83. The remaining numbers are the decimal places.
How do you make four thirds a decimal?
Four thirds (4/3) is the same as four divided by three. Four divided by three = 1.33 . . .
Which decimal is larger 030 or 30?
Neither number as given is a decimal.
030 = 30
NB The prefix zero in the first ny=umber is trivial.
NNB You need to place in the decimal point, in order to give a decimal value.
How do you put 0.30 in word form?
0.30 = 0.3 ; in word form ' Zero point three'.
NB Thre suffix zero is trivial and can be ignored.
What is 10000 percent of 50000?
No such percentage as 10000 % ..
100 % is totality.
Any percentage value greater than '100' is meaningless. !!!! You mean how many times greater.
Please rephrase the question.
What is negative 3 minus seven over 2?
As questioned, there are two possible answers.
#1 ; (-7 -3) / 2 = -10/2 = -5
#2 ; -7 - 3/2 = -7 - 11/2 = -8 1/2
NB Note the use of brackets to clarify the question.
What is 60 percent as a ratio in three forms?
Sixty percent can be expressed as a ratio in three forms: as a fraction, it is 60/100, which simplifies to 3/5. In decimal form, it is 0.6. As a ratio, it can also be represented as 3:5.
What is 0.044 as a fraction in simplest form?
0.044 = 0.044/1.000
Cancel down the decimal point
0044/1000
Drop the prefix zeroes.
44/1000
Cancel down by '4'
11/250 The simplest form !!!!!
What is 3.88888 in a fraction?
3.88888
As a terminating decimal it is 3 88888/100000 = 3 22222/50000 = 3 11111/25000
However, I think you mean a decimal recurring to infinity, in which case it should be written as 3.88888.... . Note the three or more dots after the last digits. This indicates to mathematicians, that the decimal recurs to infinity.
Since 3,88888..... is a rational number, it can be converted to a fraction.
Hence
Let
P = 3.88888.....
10P = 38,88888,,,,
Subtract
9P = 35 ( Note the recurring decimals subtract to zero).
Hence
P = 35/9
P = 3 8/9 The answer!!!!!!
