52% as a decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

This is a basic question about converting percentages to decimals. First, we need to understand percentages and decimals. A percentage represents a part out of 100. It is a way to express a number as a fraction of 100. A decimal is a way to represent numbers that are not whole, using a decimal point (.) to separate the whole part from the fractional part. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole, and those to the right represent the fractional part.

52 percent as a decimalAnswer

 

52% as a decimal can be written as 0.52. This is a straightforward conversion from percentage to decimal.

 

Explanation

 

To convert 52% into a decimal, we need to divide by 100. Here's how the process works:

 

Step 1: Understand that the percentage symbol (%) means "per hundred," so 52% is equivalent to 52 out of 100.

 

Step 2: To convert a percentage to a decimal, divide the percentage by 100.

 

Step 3: Divide 52 by 100, which gives you 0.52. By moving the decimal point two places to the left, we convert 52% into 0.52 as a decimal.
