So in this problem, we have 150%, and we need to write that as a decimal.
00:08
So first, let's think about the word percent.
00:12
It's actually two parts with per meaning out of, and cent meaning 100, out of 100.
00:22
So if we take 150%, and we write it as 150 over 100, that's going to help us visualize where we need to, to put this as a decimal.
00:34
So remember, when you're doing decimals, every time you move over, we get into pieces of a hole.
00:40
This first spot here is the tenths place, which means everything in this spot is 10 times smaller than what's in the one's place.
00:50
If we move over again, we get into the hundreds place, and everything in that spot is a hundred times smaller than what's in the one's place.
01:00
So when thinking about 150 out of a hundred, we actually have 100 plus 50 plus 0 out of 100.
01:13
We're just breaking this number up into pieces to think about where to put it in the decimal.
01:18
So this 100 out of 100 right here is actually one...
