Question

How do you convert 3 1/2 into a decimal and percent?

Answer 1

`3 1/2=3.50=350%`

Explanation:

To convert a fraction into decimal, one needs to transform it so that the fraction is a sum of fractions each or which has a denominator, which is a power of `10`.

`3 1/2=3 (1xx50)/(2xx50)=3 50/100=3.50`

And for conversion to percentage, one needs to multiply this by `100`

Hence `3 1/2=3.50=(3.50xx100)%=350%`
