5/8% as a Decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

This is a simple question on decimal conversion. First, we need to understand percentages, fractions, and decimals. A percentage represents a fraction of 100. A fraction represents a part of a whole, with a numerator (the top number) indicating the number of parts and a denominator (the bottom number) showing how many parts make up the whole. A decimal is a way to represent a number that is 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.

Answer

Step 1: Identify the fraction 5/8. To convert it to a decimal, divide the numerator (5) by the denominator (8).

 

Step 2: Perform the division 5 ÷ 8, which gives 0.625.

 

Step 3: Since the original number is a percentage, divide the decimal result by 100 to convert it to a decimal form.

 

Step 4: 0.625 ÷ 100 = 0.00625.

 

Thus, 5/8% as a decimal is 0.00625.
