What's bigger 35% or 1/3
First we need to convert both to decimals.
Converting a percentage to a decimal is done by dividing by 100 or by moving the decimal place to the left 2 places.
\(\frac{35}{100}=0.35\)
Converting a fraction to a decimal is done simply by dividing.
\(\frac{1}{3}=.33\)(answer is rounded to nearest hundredths)
So as you can tell 35% is bigger than \(\frac{1}{3}\)
\(\frac{1}{3}\) = 0.33... rounded to the nearest tenth is 0.30.
35% rounded to the nearest ten's place is 40%. So you can tell the different by looking at the number that they are rounded by. 35% is bigger than \(\frac{1}{3}\). You can also tell by putting both problem as in the hundredths place.
