From metres to millimetres.
28.6% is 0.286 as a decimal.Tip: Move the decimal point twice to the left when converting into decimal; move the decimal point twice to the right when converting into percentage.
One possible answer comes to mind - It is inconvenient if you are converting to English measurements. I'll try to think of another one but nothing so far.
In decimal form, 90% is .90. This is because when converting a decimal into a percent, you move the decimal point 2 places to the right, which is the same as multiplying that decimal by 100. You multiply it by 100 because you are converting that decimal into a fraction that will represent a percentage of a full 100%.
Divide the percent by 100.
No, it is not.
He measured in millimetres and converted to metres.

Since there are 100 cm in 1 m, you must divide 12 by 100. This gives you 12/100, which can be reduced to 3/25, or 0.12 in decimal form. Whenever you are converting in metric units, you only have to move the decimal based on the different measurements. In this case, a meter is 100 centimeters, so the decimal is moved two places over. Which direction you move it depends on which way you are converting. Converting from a smaller size to a bigger one requires you to move the decimal to the left, and converting from a larger size to a smaller one requires you to move the decimal to the right, adding zeroes as necessary.
Left
49.5% converted to a decimal would be: .495Remember, when converting a percentage to a decimal we move the decimal point TWO places to the LEFT.When converting a decimal to a percentage we move the decimal point TWO places to the RIGHT.

Fractional part of a mixed decimal.
In decimal form, 90% is .90. This is because when converting a decimal into a percent, you move the decimal point 2 places to the right, which is the same as multiplying that decimal by 100. You multiply it by 100 because you are converting that decimal into a fraction that will represent a percentage of a full 100%.
the decimal is moved to right three times.
Assuming you're converting from binary - that would be in 1024 decimal format.
Two spaces to the right. 0.75 = 75%
When converting a percent to a decimal you don't necessarily move the decimal point. It has nothing to do with it.
