65% as a decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

This topic focuses on converting percentages to decimals, a fundamental concept in mathematics. A percentage represents a part per hundred. In this case, 65% means 65 out of 100. To convert a percentage to a decimal, we need to understand the relationship between percentages and decimals. A decimal is a fraction whose denominator is a power of ten, and it uses a decimal point to separate the whole part from the fractional part. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole part, while the numbers to the right represent the fractional part.

Answer

 

65% as a decimal is 0.65.

 

Explanation

 

To convert 65% to a decimal, follow these steps:

 

Step 1: Recognize that a percentage is a fraction out of 100. Therefore, 65% is equivalent to the fraction 65/100.

 

Step 2: Convert the fraction to a decimal. Since the denominator is 100, simply divide the numerator by 100.

 

Step 3: Divide 65 by 100, which equals 0.65.

This decimal is terminating, meaning it does not repeat infinitely.
