Converting 0.0625 to a Percentage Rounded to the Nearest Tenth
To convert the decimal value 0.0625 to a percentage, we need to follow a simple procedure.
Step 1: Convert the Decimal to a Percentage
To convert a decimal to a percentage, we multiply the decimal by 100. This is because "percent" means "per hundred." So, we multiply 0.0625 by 100:
0.0625 × 100 = 6.25%
Rounded to the Nearest Tenth
To round 6.25% to the nearest tenth, we look at the hundredth place (the third digit after the decimal point). Since the hundredth place is 2, which is less than 5, we do not round up. Therefore, we round 6.25% down to the nearest tenth:
6.3%
So, 0.0625 as a percentage rounded to the nearest tenth is 6.3%.
