7% as a decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to understand percentages and decimals. A percentage represents a number out of 100. It shows how much out of a whole 100 parts. A decimal is a way to represent numbers that are 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.

7 percent as a decimal

 

Answer

 

7% in decimal form can be written as 0.07. This is a terminating decimal.

 

Explanation

 

To convert 7% into a decimal, we use the percentage-to-decimal conversion method. A percentage is a number out of 100, so to convert it to a decimal, we divide by 100.

 

Step 1: Write the percentage as a fraction: 7/100.

 

Step 2: Divide the numerator by the denominator: 7 ÷ 100 = 0.07.

 

Step 3: This gives us the decimal form 0.07, which is a terminating decimal.
