Question

How do write 2.65 as a percent, and as a decimal?

Answer 1

Hint: From the given question we are given to write 2.65 in percent, and as a decimal. As we all know that for 1=100% .For converting the 2.65 in percent we have to multiply it with 100%. Though 2.65 is in decimal form we can just leave the 2.65 as it is .

Complete step by step answer:
From the given question, we are given to write 2.65 as a percent as well as decimal.
By observing the question it is given that to write 2.65 as a percent as well as decimal. But 2.65 is already written in decimal. So, we have to write 2.65 as a percent only.
Let us consider
\[a=2.65..........\left( 1 \right)\]
As we all know that every 1 = 100% .
So, for equation (1) in percent we have to multiply with 100 percent
\[\begin{align}
  & a\times 100\%=2.65\times 100\% \\
 & \Rightarrow a\%=265\% \\
\end{align}\]
So, let us consider
\[a\%=265\%...........\left( 2 \right)\]
From equation (2) we can say that 2.65 in percentage is equal to 265%.
Now, we have to convert the equation (1) in the form of decimal. But we can’t do anything because it is already in decimal form.
So, therefore 2.65 in percentage is 265% and 2.65 in decimal form is 2.65.

Note:
Students should be well aware of linear equation concepts. Questioner may ask to write 2.65 as a proper fraction or mixed fraction. Questioner may ask to convert some fractions to decimal. So students should be aware of these types of concepts also. Students should avoid calculation mistakes while doing this problem.
