How do you write 12.4 percent as a decimal?
.124. You just move the decimal point back two places and slap on the percentage point, and vice versa for the opposite.
What is 0.42 as a percent?
to make decimal into percentage, you move the decimal 2 places to the right. so 0.42 would be 42% .4 would be 40% also it's the same for the percentage to be in decimal, but the opposite. move the decimal 2places to the left. 42% would be .42 9.7% would be .097 i hope it helped you :)
What is one and six tenths as a decimal?
what is the opposite of 1.6, can't find the answer by cheating lol and I'm dumb.
How is the way the decimal point moves when you divide a number by a power of ten the same as when you multiply?
It is not. For positive powers of ten, the decimal point moves to the right when multiplying and to the left when dividing. For negative powers of ten the point moves in the opposite directions.
How does the decimal point move when you rewrite a percent as a decimal and when you rewrite a decimal as a percent?
It's pretty simple. Every percent is out of 100. There is no possible percent higher than one hundred. So, when a percent needs to be changed into a decimal, you move it 2 decimal points to the left. This is so because percent means parts of 100, where 100 has 2 zeros. For example: 80% is 80/100. 80/100 = .8, so you move the decimal point two times to the left. When you rewrite a decimal as a percent, you do the opposite; move it two decimal points to the right. Make sure that the decimal is not greater than one because one is equal to 100% and as I said before, nothing can be greater than 100%. For example: .9934 = 99.34% or 99.34/100; move the decimal two to the right. I hope that helps.
