6 % as a Decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

Converting percentages to decimals is a straightforward process. Before diving in, it's crucial to understand what percentages and decimals represent. A percentage is a fraction of 100, used to express how much of something there is compared to a whole, which is always 100. A decimal, on the other hand, is a way to express numbers that are not whole, using a decimal point to separate the whole part from the fractional part. The digits to the left of the decimal point represent the whole number, while those to the right represent the fractional part.
