Write 0.06 as a percent

Step by step

The question

Question: write 0.06 as a percent.

1 Write it over 100

0.06 has 2 digits after the point.

So we write it over 100.

0.06 is 6 hundredths: 6/100.

Careful!

0.06% means 0.06 out of 100: far too small.

0.06 is 6 out of 100.

2 Write the percent

6 out of 100 is 6%.

The short way: the point moves 2 places to the right.

3 Check

Let's check: 6% is 6/100.

6 hundredths is 0.06.

So the answer is right!

Let's look back.

First: write it over 100.

Then: write the percent.

Last: check.
