Accepted Answer

Hello today we're going to be writing the decimal notation for the given fraction and percentage. Let's go ahead and start with the given percentage. So what we are given is 4%. And whenever we want to convert a percentage into a decimal, we're going to divide the the percentage by 100 in order to convert it to a decimal. So dividing four by 100 is going to give us the decimal of 0.4. And this is going to be the decimal notation for the given percentage. But what about the fraction? Well, for the fraction, what we are given is 1/25. And to get a better idea of how to convert this to a decimal, we typically want to have 100 or at least some multiple of 10 in the given denominator here we can multiply 25 by four to give us 100 in the denominator. And if we multiply the denominator by four we must also multiply the numerator by four. So multiplying 1/25 by 4/4 is going to give us the fraction. Four over 100 we can represent four over 100 as 0.4. So with that being said, the percentage converts to 0.04 and the given fraction converts to 0.04. That means that the answer to this problem is going to be a so I hope this video helps you in understanding how to approach this problem. And I'll go ahead and see you all in the next video
