How do you turn 55 out of 300 into a decimal?

Answer 1

You would first need to simplify the fraction. They are both divisible by 5. So the simpler version of 55/300 would be 11/60. You then need to find what percent 11 is of 60. You can do so by cross mulitplication and divide. This will give you 18.3%. Then to turn this into a decimal you would move the decimal point to places to the left. Thus, leaving you with .183.
