0.36 is the smallest - then 2/5 (which is 0.4 as a decimal) - then 42% (which is written as 0.42)
42 over 100 as a percent = 42%= 42/100 * 100%= 42%
42%
50 percent ! 42/84 is the equivalent of 1/2

40/42 x 100 =95.24%
70% of 55 over 42=70/100 * 55 / 42 =.7 *55 /42(.7 * 55) / 42 = 0.916666667
The smallest whole number is ' 1 '. 42% is another way to write the number 0.42 and that's less than ' 1 ' . So 42 percent doesn't have what it takes to be a whole number, no matter what you do to it.
You change it into a fraction form ( 42 over 100) and reduce.
