  • Get a ruler in your hands. Measure things until you start to understand how a ruler works. Measure some stuff and figure out where the center is. Say you measure a book and it's 7/8" thick. You look at your ruler and see that every eighth is divided into two sixteenths, so obviously half of 7/8" is going to be 7/16". If you write that out you have 1/2 x 7/8 = 7/16. And you notice that 1/2 is divided into 2/4 and then into 4/8 and so on, so you can convert anything to anything by multiplying all the numbers on top and then all the numbers on bottom.

    Other rulers are divided into 10 and 100 parts. But an inch is still and inch, so anything on one ruler can be translated to the other ruler. A half inch on one ruler is 5/10 or 50/100 on the other. An eighth inch is just 12.5 marks when you have 100 marks per inch. A metric ruler divides an inch into 25.4 parts, so a half inch would be 12.7 of those parts. Pretty simple, isn't it? Practice this a bit and people will think you went to wizard school.

    Percent is simply a ruler with 100 marks. 27% means 27 marks, which we write as 27/100 (fraction) or 0.27 (decimal).

  • It's very simple, without a % sign the number would look like this (27.) just move the decimal or dot left twice and you end up with (0.27) and that's your answer. If a question comes up in the future that says write 0.27 as a percent, just move the decimal right twice.

    EXAMPLE: 0.11 as a % is 11%

    1.234 as a percent is 123.4%

    -—___________________

    9.876% as a decimal is 0.09876%

    56% as a decimal is 0.56

  • Move the percent sign two places to the left.

    27%

    1 place over) 2.7

    2 places over) .27

    Now if you wanna change the decimal back to the percent, you will just move it two places to the right.

  • you divide the percentage by 100, in other words, move the decimal two places to the left. So it's .27

  • You move the percent sign to the left two times and it becomes a decimal point.

  • Wow you must be at a school for the mentally challanged i went over fractions decimals and precents in the third grade and all you do to change a decimal to fraction is drop the precent sign so it would be .27 or 0.27

  • .27 Always move two spaces to the left. Ex: 100% = 1.00

  • 27% = 0.27

  • 0.27 lol easy
