How do you write 6 1/2 % in decimal form?

Question

Is it .65 or .065 or something else?

Answer 1

You write it .065.

Think of it this way - 10% would be .10, so it cannot be .65, which is 6 1/2 times larger than .10, so it has to have a zero before the 6, i.e. .065.

I hope this helps you to understand the principle.

Answer 2

Your question is ambiguous. To STATE 6 1/2 % in decimal form, you WRITE it as 6.5 %. To USE it in a mathematical computation, you WRITE it as .065. When you remove the % symbol (which means "per hundred"), the decimal point moves 2 spaces to the left. Class dismissed!

Answer 3

.065

.65 would be 65%

Answer 4

YOU DIVIDE 100, WHICH REPRESENTS THE WHOLE INTO .065 WHICH REPRESENTS THRE KNOW EXISTING NUMBER AND YOU GET .065.

Answer 5

.065 is correct

Answer 6

.065

Answer 7

.065

Answer 8

as it is it is: 6.50 If you have Six and a half bucks, do you have sixtyfive hundreths of Six dollars and fifty cents, or do you have Six dollars and fifty cents. Also, remember that you can't have sixty-five thousands of a dollar either. When in doubt, convert your percentages into money, you'll never get them wrong then.

Answer 9

6.5

Answer 10

6.5%
