Calculate the decimal number and smallest reduced fraction for 85%. Record the decimal number rounding to the nearest hundredth. Correct
What will be an ideal response?
0.85 and 17/20
Global Rationale: To convert percentages to a fraction place the value of the percent in the numerator and the 100 as the denominator. For 85% this would be 85/100. Reduce this number further by dividing by 5 to determine the smallest fraction as being 17/20. To determine the decimal number begin again by placing 85 as the numerator and 100 as the denominator or 85/100. Since the denominator is 100, the number has 2 decimal points or 0.85.
