The minimum daily values (MDVs) for certain foods are given.
They are based on a 2,000 calorie per day diet. Find decimal and fractional notation for the percent notation in each sentence.
To find the decimal and fractional notations for the percent notation, we first need to understand what percent notation is. Percent notation represents a number as a fraction of 100. To convert a percent to decimal notation, you divide the percent by 100. To convert a percent to fractional notation, you divide the percent by 100 and simplify the fraction.
In this case, let's work with an example. Let's say the given minimum daily value (MDV) is 25%.
To convert 25% to decimal notation, we divide 25 by 100:
25 ÷ 100 = 0.25
So, the decimal notation for 25% is 0.25.
To convert 25% to fractional notation, we divide 25 by 100 and simplify the fraction:
25 ÷ 100 = 1/4
So, the fractional notation for 25% is 1/4.
Now, you can apply the same steps to the given MDVs for certain foods. Divide each MDV by 100 to get the decimal notation, and then simplify the fraction to get the fractional notation.
