Answer:

= 0.00016

Solution:

"Percent" means "per 100" or "over 100". To convert 0.016% to a decimal rewrite 0.016 percent in terms of per 100 or over 100.

0.016% = 0.016 over 100 or,

\[ 0.016\% = \frac{0.016}{100} \]0.016 over 100 is the same as 0.016 divided by 100. Completing the division we get:

0.016 ÷ 100 = 0.00016

Therefore, we have shown that

0.016% = 0.00016

Remove the percent sign % and divide by 100.

0.016 ÷ 100 = 0.00016

"Percent" means "per 100" or "over 100". So, to convert 50% to a decimal we rewrite 50 percent in terms of "per 100" or over 100.

50% = 50 over 100 or,

\[ 50\% = \frac{50}{100} \]

50/100 is the same as 50 divided by 100.

Completing the division we get:

50 ÷ 100 = 0.5

Therefore, we have shown that

50% = 0.5
