Sarah2391, you've posted this question in intermediate-advanced algebra. But your question belongs in arithmetic....this is something that a 6th grader should be able to answer. Think about "place value."

If you truly cannot answer this question, please repost telling us what your difficulties are.

To learn how to convert percentages, decimals, and fractions (which are ratios of whole numbers), please study some of the many great lessons available online:

. . . . .Google results for "decimal fraction percent convert"

Once you have studied some lessons (at least two!) and have learned the basic terms and techniques, please attempt this exercise. If you get stuck, or are unsure of your steps or solution, please reply showing all of your work and reasoning.

Thank you! :D

As the lessons you studied explained, decimals are tenths, hundredths, thousandths, etc. So what is the "in words" meaning of "0.007"? Is it "seven one-hundredths", as you claim, or something else?

When you do the long division to check your answer, does "100 divided into 7" give an answer of "0.007", or something else?

Thank you! :D
