Is multiplying by 3/10 the same as multiplying by 30%

Answer 1

yep 30% is out of 100 and 3/10 is 3 out of 10 or 100 so yeah

Answer 2

Yes, multiplying by 3/10 is the same as multiplying by 30%

Explanation:

Lets compare the numbers.

I will change them both to decimals.

3/10 = .3

30 %

Percent means out of 100

30 % = 30/100 = .3

They are the same number.

So when we multiply, we are multiplying by the same number.
