What is $0.24$ in percent form?

Answer 1

Convert a decimal number into a percentage:

The given decimal number $0.24$ can be written as follow:

$0.24=\frac{0.24}{1}$

To remove the decimal from the numerator, multiply both numerator and denominator by$100$.

$$\begin{gathered} \therefore \frac{0.24}{1}\times \frac{100}{100}=\frac{24}{100} \\ \Rightarrow =\frac{6}{25} \end{gathered}$$

To convert a fraction into a percentage, multiply by$100$.

$\therefore \frac{6}{25}\times 100=24\%$

Hence, the percentage value of the decimal number $0.24$ is$24\%$.
