Question

6 8/25% as a decimal

Answer 1

0.0632

Step-by-step explanation:
`\begin{gathered} \text{Given:} \\ 6\text{ }(8)/(25)\text{ \%} \end{gathered}`

To convert to decimal, we will first convert the mixed fraction into improper fraction:

`\begin{gathered} 6(8)/(25)\text{ = }\frac{\text{(6}*25)+8\text{ }}{25}\text{= }\frac{\text{158}}{25} \\ \\ 6(8)/(25)\text{ \% = }\frac{\text{158}}{25}\text{ \%} \end{gathered}`
`\begin{gathered} we\text{ will divide by 100 to remove the percentage:} \\ (158)/(25)\text{ \% = }(158)/(25)*(1)/(100)\text{ = }(158)/(2500) \\ \\ in\text{ decimal, }(158)/(2500)\text{ = 0.0632} \end{gathered}`
