    When we talk about percentages, we usually talk about 100 %

    so 0.032 is 3.2 % and 0.875 is 87.5 %.

    You can derive this from the formula:

    % = specific value divided by 100

    so , % = 0.032 multiplied by 100 = 3.2 %

    % = 0.875 multiplied by 100 = 87.5 %

    Fractions, percentages, and decimals are all the same. 1/4 is the same as 25% or 1.0 divided by 4....but anyway 0.032 is 32 thousanths or 32/1000. (one decimal place is tenth 0.1= 1/10...two decimal places is 25/100=0.25) You may have to simplify the fraction if needed.

    If you would like to convert a decimal into a percentage. Just multiply it by 100...or simply move the decimal point over two places to the right. 0.875 will become 87.5% or say .099=9.9%. To convert a percentage into a decimal divide it by 100 or simply move the the decimal point over two places to the left (i.e. 76.7%=0.767 into a fraction 767/100)

    This is quite simple.

    Rules: To make any decimal into a percentage, you move the decimal point 2 places to the right. To make any decimal into a fraction, you put the number over 1 and how ever many digits there are in the decimal.

    Examples......

    0.032 fraction = 32/1000 b/c you put the whole number over 1 and how many places there are in the decimal

    0.12 fraction = 12/100

    .00004 fraction = 4/100000

    .23 percentage = 23%

    .2 percentage = 2%

    .873 = 87.3 %

    .79232 = 79.232 %

    12.9847 = 1298.47%

    To make your number in to a percentage, multiply your number by 100. To turn it in to a fraction, take 1and divided by your number.
