How do you convert #2 1/5# into a decimal and a percent? Algebra Linear Equations Conversion of Decimals, Fractions, and Percent. 1 Answer
1/5=0.2 In order to convert a fraction to a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator. 1/5=1-:5=0.2
0.2 1/5 can be converted into decimal form by simple division. 1.0 -: 5=0.2. What would be the result of dividing the diameter of a circle into 8 equal parts (expressed as a...
220% I like to start by converting the number into decimal form: 1/5 as a decimal is 0.2 This means that 2 1/5 as a decimal is 2.2.
It is 0.2, or 20%. So you have the fraction 1/5. What the divided sign is, is basically just a division sign. So, to get the decimal, you do 1 divide 5. This makes you get 0.2. Now, you need a percentage. A percentage is a number over 100. To get 5 to 100, you multiply it by 20, and do the same for 1, leaving you with 20/100. So, your percentage is 20 %.
To convert from decimals to percents, you multiply the decimal by 100, which gives you the percent equivalent of the percent. Percent is always based off of 100%, so decimals up to the hundredths place will always be integers, and the numbers after the hundredths place will be after the decimal.
We can write this as a decimal by making the denominator 10. It is 0.4. The easiest way to write this as a decimal is to multiply it until the denominator is 10. As decimals are written in a tens system (with a tenths, hundredths, thousandths, etc. place), fractions with a denominator of 10 can easily be written as decimals. The way to make the denominator ten is to multiply both the top and ...
1/5 is a fraction and cannot be written as a whole number. 1/5 = 2/10 = 0.2 = 20% 1/5 is not a whole number at all and cannot be changed to or written as a whole number. 1/5 means that one whole has been split up into five equal parts, each of which is 1/5 of the original. 1/5 can be written as a decimal or as a percent 1/5 = 2/10 = 0.2 = 20%
A more "mathematical" approach is to multiply the decimal by a power of ten for every number after the decimal (e.g. #0.45 *100 = 45#), divide by that power of ten (e.g. #45/100#), then reduce (#45/100=9/20#). For 0.2, the tenths place, 2, is divided by 10: #2/10#, which reduces to #1/5# (alternatively, #(0.2*10)/10=2/10=1/5#).
2 2/5 = 2.4 = 240% The number 1 is the same as 1.00 and is the same as 100%. The number 2, therefore, is the same as 2.00 and the same as 200% 2/5 can be converted into a decimal by seeing that 2/5=4/10. 4/10, spoken out loud, is "four tenths" and shows that the decimal is 0.4.
