Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

Converting percentages to decimals is a basic mathematical operation. Understanding percentages and decimals is crucial. A percentage is a fraction out of 100. To convert a percentage to a decimal, you divide by 100. A decimal represents a number that is not whole, using a decimal point to separate the whole number from the fractional part. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole part, and those to the right represent the fractional part.
