Chapter 1, Problem 129

Complete the table of fraction, decimal and percent equivalents.
Table showing fraction 1/100, its decimal equivalent 0.01, and an empty cell for the percent equivalent.

Verified step by step guidance
1
Understand that percent means 'per hundred,' so to convert a decimal to a percent, you multiply the decimal by 100.
Take the given decimal value, which is \(0.01\), and multiply it by 100: \(0.01 \times 100\).
Write the result of the multiplication as the percent equivalent, followed by the percent symbol '%'.
Recognize that this process converts the decimal to a percentage, which is another way to express the same value.
Complete the table by filling in the percent column with the value obtained from the multiplication.
