Answer 2

To convert 5.2% to a fraction, we can use the fact that "percent" means "per hundred." Therefore, 5.2% means 5.2 per hundred, which can be written as the fraction 5.2/100. To simplify this fraction, we can divide the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 4:

5.2/100 = (5.2 ÷ 4) / (100 ÷ 4) = 1.3/25

So 5.2% can be written as the fraction 1.3/25 in simplest form.

To convert 5.2% to a decimal, we can simply divide it by 100:

5.2% = 5.2 ÷ 100 = 0.052

So 5.2% is equivalent to the decimal 0.052.
