what is 4 1/2 percent in a decimal form?

Answer 1

4.5% !

Answer 2

4.5%

You always need to show the % sign to show that it is a percentage which implies it is 4.5/100

1/2 expressed as a decimal is .5 so 4 1/2 percent is 4.5%

answers 4.5, .45 & .045 are therefore wrong,
4.5 did not show the %,
.45 is the wrong decimal
.045 can be used as the multiplier when calculating the percentage, but by itself it does imply it is a percentage

Answer 3

1/2 = .5, so

4 1/2 = 4.5 to change to a percent move the decimal left two places, which means you will have to put a zero in like this.

.045

or
use your calculator
4.5/100 = .045
4.5% = .045

Answer 4

Here 4 1/2 = 9/2 = 4.5
therefore 4.5%= 4.5/100=0.045

Answer 5

four and .5 percent is the same as 4.5 %
when you are finding a decimal form of a percentage, you move the decimal two places to the right because
4.5% = 4.5/100
making 4.5% = .045

Answer 6

any "percent" is the same as saying "per 100"

so 4% = 4 per hundred = 4/100 = .04

therefore 4 1/2 % = 4.5 per hundred = 4.5/100 = .045

Answer 7

4 1/2 divided by 100 = 0.045

Answer 8

0.045 Move the decimal place 2 spaces to the left or 4.5/100 in your calculator!

Answer 9

well you change it to a improper fraction(9/2), multiply both the top and bottom by 50 to make the denominator 100,(450/100) and turn it into a decimal like you would with any number over 100, so the answer would be 4.5

Answer 10

4 integers plus 1/2 = [(4 x 2) + 1]/2 = 9/2
Thus,
9 divided by 2 = 4,5%
