(iii) 32%
(iv) 0.25%
(v) 7.5%
(vi)

Answer 1

$$\begin{gathered} \left(\mathrm{i}\right)27\%=\frac{27}{100} \\ =0.27 \\ \left(\mathrm{ii}\right)6.3\%=\frac{6.3}{100} \\ =0.063 \\ \left(\mathrm{iii}\right)32\%=\frac{32}{100} \\ =0.32 \\ \left(\mathrm{iv}\right)0.25\%=\frac{0.25}{100} \\ =0.0025 \\ \left(\mathrm{v}\right)7.5\%=\frac{7.5}{100} \\ =0.075 \\ \left(\mathrm{vi}\right)\frac{1}{8}\%=\frac{1}{8}\times \frac{1}{100} \\ =\frac{1}{800} \\ =0.00125 \end{gathered}$$
