Question 248038: how do you express 72 5/8% as a decimal
Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
first we have to do something about the 5/8
divide it out 5/8 =.625
or take it in parts
4/8=1/2=.50
2/8=1/4=.25
1/8=/.125
We have 4/8+1/8=.500+.125=.625
now we put the two parts together
72 and .625
72.625%
to remove the percent cent we move the decimal two places to the left.
remember .01 =1/100=1.00%=1%
so we move the decimal point
.72625=72.625%=72 5/8 %
