What's bigger 35% or 1/3

Sagot :

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. 
[tex] \frac{35}{100}=0.35[/tex]

Converting a fraction to a decimal is done simply by dividing. 
[tex] \frac{1}{3}=.33[/tex](answer is rounded to nearest hundredths)

So as you can tell 35% is bigger than [tex] \frac{1}{3}[/tex]
[tex] \frac{1}{3} [/tex] = 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 [tex] \frac{1}{3} [/tex]. You can also tell by putting both problem as in the hundredths place.
