Write each percent as a decimal and as a fraction in simplest form.
5/8% would be .625% how do I make 5/8% into a fraction, or do I make .625% into a fraction.
.625 is read as 625 thousandths; therefore the fraction would be
625 over 1,000
To convert a percent to a decimal, divide the percent value by 100.
So, to convert 5/8% to a decimal:
1. Divide 5 by 8 to get the decimal equivalent of the fraction: 5 ÷ 8 = 0.625.
2. Convert the decimal to a percent by multiplying by 100: 0.625 × 100 = 62.5%.
Therefore, 5/8% as a decimal is 0.625% or 0.00625 as a decimal.
Now, let's convert 0.625% into a fraction:
1. Given that 0.625% is already in decimal form (0.00625), we need to express it as a fraction by placing the decimal value over 1000 (since there are three decimal places): `0.625/1000`.
2. Simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD). In this case, the GCD is 125: `0.625/1000 = (0.625/125)/(1000/125) = 5/8`.
Therefore, 0.625% can be expressed as the fraction 5/8.
