You can put this solution on YOUR website!
0.5%
\n" ); document.write( "0.5% means 0.5 per cent
\n" ); document.write( "(cent means 100)
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore 0.5 percent means 0.5 for every 100
\n" ); document.write( "That is (0.5)/100 = 5/1000 (shifting the decimal to the right by one place in the nr and hence one zero inclusion in the dr)
\n" ); document.write( "= 5/(5X200) = 1/200 (canceling 5)
\n" ); document.write( "Answer: 0.5% = 1/200
\n" ); document.write( "which is your choice (2)
\n" ); document.write( "Verification:(1/200) means 1 out of 200
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore what out of 100?
\n" ); document.write( "The answer is naturally (1/2) which is 0.5
\n" ); document.write( "how?
\n" ); document.write( "(1/200)X100 =(1/2) (canceling 100)
\n" ); document.write( "Note: You don't have to write anything of these things in the test. Just figure out orally and mark the right answer. This was just the teacher talking to you! \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
