Answer 2

Divide the percent by hundred it will show the decimal
if the answer is 1 then it is full or if it is 0.25 then it is quater, if it is 0.50 then it is half, then if it is 0.75 then it is three quaters.

Example: if it was 50%
then
Step 1: 50 / 100
Step 2 : 0.50 (use calculator then u may get an idea)
the answer is 0.50

For fraction:
divide the percent by 100

example: If the percentage is 50 then

Step 1 : 50 / 100
Step 2: 5 / 10 ( take the last zeros)
Step 3: 1 / 2 ( 1*5 = 5 / 2*5 = 10)

the answer is 1/2.

i did'nt say the answer for 20% b'coz u hav to find it otherwise you will not get knowledge about it.

Answer 3

Decimals- simply put a decimal point in front of the number and if there is a decimal point in the percentage then just remove it but keep the number(s) after it
Fraction- Take the number this is your numerator make 100 your denomerator and if possible simplify your fraction

Answer 4

to convert a percent into a decimal you take off the % and put a decimal point two spaces in (ex. 10%= 0.1 or 3.5% =.035 or 374%= 3.74)
to convert a percent into a fraction you take off the % and put the number of over 100 9ex. 19%= 19/100 or 3.5%= 3.5/100 or 285%=285/100

Answer 5

fraction is /100 and decimal is just move the point two spaces to the right (like 50%=50/100=0.5)

so 20%=20/100=0.2

Answer 6

percent means 100ths. If you have 40% that means .40 (40 hundreths). To convert this into a fraction, it would be 40/100, which factored once would be 4/10, which factored againg would be 2/5.

Answer 7

IT 20 OVER 100 IN FRACTION FORM AND IT IS 0.20 IN DECIMAL FORM!
