Question

Convert the given percent to decimal fractions and also fractions in the simplest forms.

$5\%$

Answer 1

Let us first convert the given percentage into a fraction and for that, we will divide the given percent by $100$

$$\begin{gathered} =\frac{5}{100} \\ =\frac{1}{20}(infraction) \end{gathered}$$

Now we will convert the obtained fraction into the decimal by dividing $1\mathrm{by}20$

$200.05100-\underline{1}\underline{0}\underline{0}0$

$=0.05(indecimal)$

Hence, the given percent in decimals is $0.05$.
