49% as a decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

This is a straightforward question on decimal conversion. To understand this, we need to learn about percentages and decimals. A percentage represents a part out of a hundred. To convert a percentage to a decimal, we divide the percentage by 100. A decimal is a way to represent numbers 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.
