The answer depends on the form with which you are more comfortable. The main disadvantage of using decimal fractions is that they may result in an accumulation of rounding errors.
percent for 0.3 repeating = 33.33%0.3333 * 100% = 33.33%
51 percent can be written as 51/100 as a fraction. To convert a percentage to a fraction, you simply write the percentage as the numerator and 100 as the denominator. In this case, 51 percent is equivalent to 51/100.
You could use grams (as a decimal fraction) or milligrams.
the fraction 22/7 is a close approximation to 3.14159265
Decimals are there to show you a fraction. For example, 1 1/2 is the same as the decimal 1.5. It just shows you how close you are to a whole number in a different way than a fraction.
To convert a fraction to percent you first convert the fraction to a decimal. To do that we use the method of in/out. The numerator goes inside the division sign and the deniminator goes outside. This will give you a decimal of .71428. Now you can convert the decimal to a percent by moving the decimall to the right 2 places. So, the equivalent percent to 5/7 is 71%.
There is no such example. If you cannot use an exact fraction then there will not be an exact decimal that you can use instead. And, if you are using an approximate decimal, you could use an approximate fraction instead.
I think you can use the word "convert" in that case. I don't think there is a more specific term, for this particular type of conversion.
To convert a percent to a fraction shift the decimal point two places to the left.35% = 0.35Now write that over 100 (use as many zeroes as there are places in the decimal) and reduce.0.35 = 35/100 = 7/20Another example: 8.5% = 0.085 = 85/1000 = 17/200.
you would take your numerator in fraction and put it behind your decimal
You use long division.
Divide the numerator by the denominator.

Use the dp rule decimal is on the left and percent to the right. Move the decimal two places to the left to change to a decimal. 2.64
To express any fraction as a decimal, use long division to divide the numerator by the denominator.
you can either use a calculator or do it the old fashion way. First you change the fraction to a decimal (ex. 1/6 = 0.66) Next you take the decimal and move it to the right 2 places (ex. 0.66 = 66.0) the number you have now is your percent. 1/6 = 66.0% Some times your percent can have a decimal like 44.5% you can either leave it the same or round 44.5% can be rounded up to 45% To change back to a decimal you add the decimal point to the far right of the number or if you already have a decimal point in you must move it 2 spaces to the left if you have no numbers in front of the decimal add a 0
There is really no difference - other than a consistent change in the placement of the decimal point. So whatever you want to do with decimal numbers can be done with percentages in much the same way, and conversely.
