Question

How do you convert \[3/5\] into percentage and decimal ?

Answer 1

Hint:
To convert the fraction into percentage just multiply the fraction by \[100\] and to convert the fraction into decimal that is free from the numerator and denominator just divide the numerator by denominator in fraction and we will get the decimal value.

Complete step by step solution:
Given that,
Fractional value \[=3/5=\dfrac{3}{5}\]
Since we know that to convert it into percentage, we just multiply the fractional value by \[100\]
\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{3}{5}\times 100\]
Now divide \[100\] by \[5\] we will get \[20\]
\[\Rightarrow 3\times 20\]
\[\Rightarrow 60%\]
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
\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{3}{5}\]
Now divide this \[3\] by \[5\] we will get
\[\Rightarrow 0.6\]

Hence, percentage value \[=60%\]
Decimal value \[=0.6\]

Note:
The fractional and decimal values both are the same; they are just written in different forms. To convert this into percentage we just need to multiply it with \[100\]. As percentage is the distribution in which we calculate the distributed value if the total value is of \[100\].
