Question

Express the following percentages as decimals:

$3\frac{1}{8}\%$

Answer 1

Here we can write $3\frac{1}{8}\%$= $\frac{25}{8}\%$ as$\frac{25}{800}$ [Dividing its numerator and denominator by $25$]

we get,

$\frac{25÷25}{800÷25}=\frac{1}{32}$

and, $\frac{1}{32}=0.03125$

Hence, we can write $3\frac{1}{8}\%$ in the form of decimals as $0.03125$
