Answer 1

Answer:

$24\frac{1}{2}\%$ is equal to 0.245 in decimal form.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given percentage = $24\frac{1}{2}\%$

This can be rewritten as  $\frac{49}{2}\%$

We have write $\frac{49}{2}\%$ in decimal form.

First convert Percentage into fraction by dividing the number by 100.

We have, $\frac{49}{2}\%=\frac{49}{200}$

Now converting fraction into decimals by dividing 49 by 200.

We get,$\frac{49}{200}=0.245$

Thus, $24\frac{1}{2}\%$ is equal to 0.245 in decimal form.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is 0.245

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert X% to decimal we have to divide the given number by 100.

24½ is a mixed fraction.

Convert mixed  fraction to improper fraction

24½ = (24*2 + 1)/2 = 49/2

To find decimal form of 24½%

(49/2)/100 = 49/200

49/100 = 0.245

Therefore the 24½% is equal  0.245(in decimal)

24½% = 0.245
