It is not always necessary. For example 100/5 = 20. No decimal points in sight!
Here's an easy trick to remember decimals:If a number is over 10 then the decimal will be .0 (5/10 = .5)If a number is over 100 then the decimal will be .00 (5/100 = .05)If a number is over 1000 then the decimal will be .000 and so on (5/1000 = .005)Based on that 37/1000 would be .037
How To Convert A Fraction To A Decimal To A PercentTo convert a fraction to a decimal to a percent you first need to divide the numerator (the top number) by the denominator (the bottom number)To convert a decimal to a percent you would do the decimal times 100.Example 1/5=?=?1 divided by 5 equals 0.21/5=0.2=?0.2*100=201/5=0.2=20%
The numerator of the fraction is the decimal number WITHOUT the decimal point. The denominator of the fraction is 1 followed by the same number of 0s as there were digits after the decimal point in the original number. Then simplify this fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by any common fractions - they will be 2 (or 2*2 or 2*2*2 etc) or 5 (or 5*5 or 5*5*5 etc). Here, number of digits after the decimal point is 2. So denominator = 100. So the fraction is 78/100. Simplifying, 78/100 = 39/50.
It is 542/100 or 5 42/100, either of which can be simplified, if you so wish.
5%=.5 Divide the percentage by 100 to change it to a decimal: 5% = 5/100 = .05
5% ÷ 100 = 0.05
You multiply the decimal number by 100 to get your percentage. Ex// .5 X 100 = 50%
0.05

3 5/100
A nickel is worth 5 cents, which is equivalent to 0.05 in decimal form. This is because there are 100 cents in a dollar, so 5 cents is 5/100 or 0.05 as a decimal.
Decimal form: 5.50 . Mixed number form 5 50/100 simplified to: 5 1/2.
1. see what the number is behind the decimal ... Example: 0.05 .... is 100 because the 5 is in the hundredths place ... 2. put that as the denominator. 3. take the decimal away and that number is the numerator. so 0.05 is .... 5/100
