decimal:
(b) rewrite the decimal in the sentence below as a percentage.

percent: %

Explanation:

Part (a) Step1: Recall percentage to decimal conversion

To convert a percentage to a decimal, we divide the percentage value by 100. So for \(70\%\), we do \(70\div100\).
\(70\div100 = 0.7\)

Part (b) Step1: Recall decimal to percentage conversion

To convert a decimal to a percentage, we multiply the decimal by 100. So for \(0.024\), we do \(0.024\times100\).
\(0.024\times100=2.4\)

Answer:

(a) Decimal: \(0.7\)
(b) Percent: \(2.4\%\)
