Answer 2

`0.18=18/100=18%`

Explanation:

To convert a decimal into a fraction you can write each digit as a fraction and then add the given fractions:

`0.18=1/10+8/100=10/100+8/100=18/100`

The consecutive digits right from the decimal point are:

• tenths (`1/10`)

• hundredths (`1/100`)

• thousandths (`1/1000`)

and so on.

If you have a fraction you need to multiply it by `100%` to convert it to percentage:

`18/100*100%=18%`
