What is 3/50 as a decimal
And show work


Sagot :

3/50 as a decimal would be.06 because lets make the denominator 100. we multiplied by 2 on the bottom so multiply by 2 on the top. which gives us 6/100. 6/100 is 6%. another way to write 6% is as a decimal and a fraction. but we already know the fraction form which is 6/100. The decimal form would be .06. you can also check this on a calculator because 3/50 or 6/100 are equivalent fractions and both of them mean the top number divided by the bottom number. ( 3/50 means 3 divided by 50. and 6/100 means 6 divided by 100 ). in case you did not know what equivalent fractions are they are fractions that mean the same thing and can be simplified down to one fraction. Another example would be a pizza there are typically 8 slices in a pizza. if 4 pieces were eaten we would say half of the pizza is eaten or 4 slices have been eaten. hope this helps.
