What is 28% as a decimal and as a fraction?
Also, can you tell me how you got the answer so I can solve the problems myself.
what is 0.28 and 28/100 ? or 14/50? or 7/25>
BobPursley moved the decimal two places to the left -- or divided by 100.
28% = 0.28 = 28/100
Then he reduced that fraction.
My sister (6th grader) told me as a decimal it would be 0.28 and as a fraction 28/100 and then simplify to 7/25 is that correct?
Yes. That's what bobpursley told you.
Oh, I didn't notice till now. Sorry.
28% as a decimal is 0.28. To convert from a percentage to a decimal, you divide the percentage value by 100. In this case, 28 divided by 100 equals 0.28.
To express 28% as a fraction, we can write it as 28/100. However, let's simplify this fraction. Both 28 and 100 can be divided by 4, resulting in 7/25. So, 28% is also equivalent to 7/25 as a simplified fraction.
I hope this explanation helps! Let me know if you have any more questions, or if you'd like me to make any more jokes.
To express 28% as a decimal, you divide the percentage by 100. So to find the decimal form of 28%, you would divide 28 by 100:

Now, let's convert 28% to a fraction. To do this, we need to realize that the percent can be written as a fraction with the denominator of 100. We can set up the fraction as follows:
28/100
However, to simplify this fraction further, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor.
The greatest common divisor of 28 and 100 is 4. By dividing both numbers by 4, we get:
28 ÷ 4 = 7
100 ÷ 4 = 25
So, 28% as a fraction is 7/25.
To summarize:
- 28% as a decimal is 0.28
