Question

How do you convert \[2/7\] into percentage and decimal?

Answer 1

Hint: Just multiply the fraction by \[100\] to convert it into percentage and for decimal just divide the numerator by denominator in fraction.

Complete step by step solution:
Given that,
Fractional value \[=2/7=\dfrac{2}{7}\]
Since we know that to convert it into a percentage, we just multiply the fractional value by \[100\]
\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{2}{7}\times 100\]
\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{200}{7}\]
\[\Rightarrow 28.57%\]
Now, we have to convert the given fractional value into decimal form
For that, we just need to divide the numerator by denominator in the given fractional value
\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{2}{7}\]
Now divide this \[3\] by \[5\] we will get
\[\Rightarrow 0.2857\]

Hence, percentage value \[=28.57%\]
Decimal value \[=0.2857\]

Note: The fractional and decimal values both are the same they just written in different forms. To convert this into a percentage we just need to multiply it with \[100\].
