What's bigger, [tex]35\%[/tex] or [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]?

First we need to convert both to decimals.
Converting a percentage to a decimal is done by dividing by 100 or by moving the decimal place to the left 2 places. 100 35 ​ = 0.35
Converting a fraction to a decimal is done simply by dividing. 3 1 ​ = .33 (answer is rounded to nearest hundredths)
So as you can tell 35% is bigger than 3 1 ​

3 1 ​ = 0.33... rounded to the nearest tenth is 0.30. 35% rounded to the nearest ten's place is 40%. So you can tell the different by looking at the number that they are rounded by. 35% is bigger than 3 1 ​ . You can also tell by putting both problem as in the hundredths place.
