Question

How do you convert 0.216 into a percent and fraction?

Answer 1

To convert `0.216` to a percent, multiply by `100%`:
`0.216 = 0.216*100% = 21.6%`

To convert `0.216` to a fraction, divide `216` by `1000` since it has three decimal places:
`0.216 = 216/1000 = 27/125`

Answer 2

`21.6%` and `27/125`

Explanation:

PERCENT: Multiply by `100%`.

`0.216*100%=21.6%`

FRACTION: Count the number of numbers after the decimal and write that number of zeros after `1`. Divide only the numbers after the decimal by this number.

`0.216-> 3` numbers after decimal

`1` _ _ _ `->1000`

`216/1000`

Simplify as needed!
`cancel(216)/cancel(1000)=27/125`
