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%
