## anonymous 5 years ago 25 over 25 as a decimal step by step please

1. anonymous

1, no decimal needed...

2. anonymous

25 is a multiple of it self so, 25/25 reduces to 1/1 thus 25/25 = 1

3. anonymous

as a decimal the answer key says .96%

4. anonymous

Something divided by itself is always 1, is there more to the problem?

5. anonymous

no

6. anonymous

(well 0/0 and $\infty/\infty$ are a couple exceptions where that rule goes crazy)

7. anonymous

24over25 as a percent?

8. anonymous

how do they get 96%?

9. anonymous

There ya go, 24/25 would make sence for .96 Think of it as (24/25)*4/100

10. anonymous

sense*

11. anonymous

24 times 4? 25 times 4=?

12. anonymous

right you are trying to make it into a similar number to 96/100=.96%

13. anonymous

so to get 25 to equal 100 you need to take 25*4. Thus you would also need to take 24*4 to get the correct numerator.

14. anonymous

and a number divided by 100 is easily made into a percentage just by shifting the decimal place to places to the left
