P6 Maths - Percentage, Decimals

Conversion of percentage to decimal.

Convert ½% to decimal.

If your answer is 0.5, you are wrong. This question may look simple, but it always managed to get students tricked!

Whenever we convert percentage to a decimal, we have to divide by 100.

½% = ½ / 100
= ½ * 1/100
= 1/200

Hence the answer is 1/200 or 0.005.
