How do you convert 4/25 into a decimal and percent?

Decimal: ##0.16## Percent: ##16%##

Let's first convert it to decimal. We have ##4/25## Now you can divide that by hand and you would get 0.16, but there is a faster way. If we multiply both numerator and denominator with 4 we get:

##4/25 * 4/4 = 16/100##

And when you have something divided by a 100, the only thing you need to do is move two places to the left and you'll get your answer. Examples:

##55/100=0.55## ##3/100=0.03## ##18/100=0.18## and so on.

So in our case we used a trick of making our denominator a hundred so we could easily calculate the fraction.

##16/100=0.16##

And now let's convert to percentages.

To convert a number to percents, all you need to do is multiply it with 100%. Examples:

##0.55## in percent is ##55%## ##1/2## in percent is ##50%## ##5## in percent is ##500%##

So in our case

##16/100 * 100% = 16%##
