Question

There is a 33% chance that a peanut grown in the US will end up as peanut butter. What fraction and decimal represents the number of peanuts grown in the US that are made into peanut butter

Answer 1

Answer:

Fraction: 33/100, decimal: 0.33

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is basically asking how to convert 33% into a fraction and a decimal. To convert a percentage into a fraction place it over 100.

33% --> 33/100; this cannot be simplified further.

To convert a percentage into a decimal move the decimal point two places to the left.

33% --> 0.33

Answer 2

Answer:

Fraction= 33/100

Decimal= 0.33

Step-by-step explanation:

To make a percent a fraction, we can drop the percent sign and put the number over 100. We now have 33/100. We cannot simplify this so it stays 33/100.

To make a percent a decimal, you have to drop the percent sign. For this questions, we now have 33. 33 is the same as 33.0 so we have to divide by 100 (since it was a percent before) and we get 0.33 as our answer for a decimal.
