140 base 5 = (1 x 5^2) + (4 x 5^1) + (0 x 5^0) = 25 + 20 + 0 = 45 in decimal. Dividing 45 (decimal) by three is 15 decimal. This can be converted to base 5 as 30
5% of 5.79 = 5/100 x 579/1,000 = 2,895/100,000 = 0.2895 or if you are comfortable with multiplying decimals: .05 x 5.79 = .2895 (multiply numbers as whole numbers and put the decimal points 4 places to the left of the product since you have 4 numbers after the decimal point of the factors)
If the exponent is positive, move the decimal to the right the same number of spaces as the number of the exponent. If the exponent is negative, move the decimal to the left the same number of spaces as the number of the exponent.Examples:2.5 x 103 is 2500 in standard notation. (Move the decimal to the right 3 spaces.)4.9 x 10-5 is 0.000049 in standard notation. (Move the decimal to the left 5 spaces.)
3/5:= 3 ÷ 5= 0.60 in decimal= 0.60 x 100%= 60%
Move the decimal point 5 places to the left: 3.0 x 10-5 = 0.00003
21 - 1 = 20 = 5 x 4 1/5 = 2/10 = 0.2 4.2
If two decimal numbers have x and y digits after the decimal point respectively, then their product has (x + y) digits after the decimal point.

14.7/5 = 2.94 = 294% (move the decimal point two places to the right and put the percent symbol)or14.7/5 = (14.7 x 20)/(5 x 20) = 294/100 = 294%
5% of 5.79 = 5/100 x 579/1,000 = 2,895/100,000 = 0.2895 or if you are comfortable with multiplying decimals: .05 x 5.79 = .2895 (multiply numbers as whole numbers and put the decimal points 4 places to the left of the product since you have 4 numbers after the decimal point of the factors)

For a calculatorYou put the percent you want over 100 then multiply it by that number.eg.5% of 200 = 5/100 x 200 = 10Or you can move the decimal pointeg.60% of 80 = .60 x 80 = 48
If it is a terminating decimal, count the number of digits after the decimal and call it x. Put those digits over 10^x and reduce. For example, if the fraction is 0.84, x is 2, so 84/10^2 = 84/100 = 21/25■ If it is a repeating decimal, put the repeating portion over (10^x)-1. If the fraction is 0.848484..... put 84/(100-1) = 84/99 = 28/33■
3/5:= 3 ÷ 5= 0.60 in decimal= 0.60 x 100%= 60%
2.7 x 10 to the negative 3 power (2.7 x 10-3)
put into a calculator, 3.2 x .00001 = 3.2 x 10^-5. this means that you need to move the decimal five times to the left. so you will end up with .000032
65% 20 x 5 = 100 13 x 5 = 65 :)
